>>1291660

>>1291656

""""""""""""""""""""""""vikings"""""""""""""""""""""""
My grandfather's father was a Swede, so Viking here.
He was also married to a Cherokee , so I am that as well.
>>1291679
Yep, just like the French are the decedents of the Romans.
>>1291702
Also let's not forget they used a French fighting system ((Focus on heavy cavalry rather than heavy infantry)) and French architecture.
>>1291702
Frankish
This language is a meme
>>1291739
whatever. the point is that they didn't speak norse
>>1291728
I don't really think it is just pro-pagan propaganda, but nationalist one.
Also remember that the late Vikings were mostly Christian and that people generally think Pirates are cool.

Fucking Germanics.
>>1291826
i don't think you know what the word conquered means
p.s. cnut sitting in london for 20 years is not conquering
>>1291842
>be crowned the king of England

>>1291874

then why is it called english?

>He doesn't know their English is a dead, long wiped out by Vikings.
I removed all the Norman words in your post
>>1291885
They didn't call it English either. They called it Ænglisc and our present language is basically a Latin corruption of it.
>>1291913
>Originally written in latin script
>>1291904
You are implying that any marine invasion makes you into a viking?
And any source on them only marrying Scandinavians?
>>1291882
considering that they spoke French till they started losing the hundred years war, burned down all the Anglo Saxon wooden Churches and replaced them with Frankish ones and that many English king barely ever would visit England, yes, I would say conquered.
>>1291930
yes i can admit that the franks conquered england but to say that vikings did is wrong
>>1291938
What do you call it when someone invades another land with an army, wins battles and becomes king?
>>1291661
what about it?
>>1291930
>Gauls are better than britons because our german kings were better than your german kings who were actually our german kings
Celt niggotry at its finest
>>1291930
>considering that they spoke French till they started losing the hundred years war,
Actually, strange thing, the plague of the 14th century was the major contributor to how and why English became the prominently spoken and written language. Huge percentages of the population in wealthy urban city centers were wiped out, leaving the majority, the urban peasants far removed from nobility, to use their language more often, and become prominent.
>>1291945
a bump in the road
but seriously having the danelaw is not conquering england
>>1291954
Good thing Sweyn and Cnut ruled all of England then
>>1291959
like i already told you cnut had only two successors and sweyn didnt even have one
ruling is not the same as conquest
>>1291728
>the vikings were jewish puppets
always
>>1291974
Cnut was Sweyn's successor.
If having sex with french women makes you french, then why weren't the nazis french instead of german?
>>1291984
no Æthelred was so you can stop talking now
>>1291986
I got no idea if you are trolling or not so I am just gonna question the merits of your iq.
Saxons defeated Vikings
Danish people then defeated Saxons and destroyed their nobility
Danish nobility destroy each other
Remnants of Saxon nobility (who were mostly raised to their position by Danes) get the throne again
Normans defeat those Saxons
Normans kill each other
Angevins inherit the throne
Angevins kill each other
Tudors get the throne
Tudors can't have kids
Stuarts get the throne
Stuarts have a tendency to lose their heads
Dutchs get the throne
Female inherits and the throne pass to Germans
