    It's so sad that most people's knowledge of the Normans is, "1066, William the Conqueror" - and nothing past that. Always love to see new videos about them, the peoples who built the foundations for modern Western Europe are not given nearly enough credit.

    So almost all of my extensive English genealogy work has led me to nothing but Norman, a few Flemish, and a few Scottish family names which, other than Scottish, all originate in Normandy area but remained in England from 1066 until the 1600s when they came to America. I’m astonished to find I test as having no English ancestry but lots of Germanic and Scandinavian ancestry along with some Scottish ancestry. Is it possible that these families managed to only marry amongst eachother and maintain a Norman ancestry differing from the English population for 600 plus years and manifest itself on my genetics tests as Germanic and Scandinavian? I was always told I was German and had no knowledge of the English origins and find it pretty astonishing if so many lines managed to be a distinct ethnic group living in England for so long. They were all prominent aristocrats and descendants of William and Rollo which I’m sure is common, but I can’t imagine many have so much English geographic ancestry without the genetic ancestry of English

    There was no shortage of women in Scandinavia. Vikings had wives *and* mistresses to whom they were loyal and fiercely defensive. It's a myth that Vikings were rapists, too, concocted by Victorians in their Sagas stories to instill xenophobia in the British. Scandinavian children are taught to hold their heads up high, whenever anyone starts accusing Vikings of being rapists. Only one in 33 British men have Viking DNA, which also debunks the myth.

Added it which, the Normans also extended their influence to Ireland, particularly the South-east of the country. Strange you didn´t include that fact when showing their outreach into the UK. Note, I come from Norman stock!
