When the French took over our aristocracy (nordic French). The bourgeois spoke French for almost 400 years after this event. Our history is convoluted and fascinating. RIP King Alfred
those bastard athels (“nobles”) with last names like “de Coucy”, “de Mowbray”, “Courtenay”, etc. don’t belong! they should go back to where they came from!
Dude...lol it's about the death of Ængland. It sings of the Norman Conquest. And laments the end of Anglo-Saxon Ængland. It's was pretty much the same as the "Vikings" just minus Odin Thor and Yngvi and you know the human sacrifice. And the Day when Ængland is revived and The Norman's are finally gone. People argure England was a unique culture, maintaining Manny of it's pre-Christan ideals, ie: Thegns, Huscarl's, Works(Earl's), C(h)eolman(or fyrdman), Death and Destiny, Anglo-Saxons believed if it was there day to die, then like Odin, God has fated you to die honorably on the battlefield then come join him and you're forbears in heaven. And after the Norman Conquest it just joined everyone else in the Post-Roman and more Romanized Culture
The world would be very different had the Anglo-Saxons won. North and South America might never have been discovered. The crusades might have played out differently. English wouldn't even exist. Christianity might even be considered fake since the Normans were sent as a mission from God.
