If you have european ancestry, if either of the other 2 guys had done what william did, none of us would be here. Someone else would be asking these what ifs.
Three of my ancestral grandfathers assisted William at the battle of Hastings in 1066. Two were Norman knights, "Walter Fitz Osbern" and "Raoul de Préaux", and the 3rd was a Breton knight from Brittany, "Flaad FitzAlan". And yes, we were originally vikings. I traced my ancestry from the Nobile House of Long, knights, sheriffs, and members of parliament from Wiltshire, back to Normandy, and then back to vikings in Norway, with my 29th great grandfather Malahulc Eysteinsson being the uncle of Rollo. Malahulc is the great great great grandfather of Raoul de Préaux. Here's my list of grandfathers from my Long side, starting with my grandfather going back to vikings in the year 698AD.

My viking ancestors came from Oppland Norway, to help establish the Duchy of Normandy. As a family, we celebrate the Norman conquest and the battle of Hastings every year on the 14th of October.
@liam1561 they, becoming a part of France, did carry the influence of France to England and thus French became the language of the Royal Court until about the 1800's. They even have their own version of French, still spoken in areas of Normandy and the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey.
Quick Google search = "The word "coronated" comes from the Latin word corōnātus, the past participle of corōnare, which means "to deck with flowers, wreathe, crown". The first known use of "coronated" was around 1623."
Love all of Dan Snow’s projects! They’re always well researched, explained, and thought-provoking. Thanks, Dan!
"When the student is ready, the teacher appears." Thank you; this was a lot more interesting than I recall my European history class being!
One of my favourite story. Why is this not a film?
Too much going on for a film but they could make a great series
It's probably too late to make anything halfway decent. Half the cast would be blacks and trannies.
@@Focusyn Keepin' it classy. /smh
Because everyone knows the end?
I second this, it needs a film
Great Documentary and also time for Dan to stop skipping leg day.
Yes! Chris Rock!
My favorite Rocksta-
I mean my favorite Historian 😅
The bloody struggle for England during the Middle Ages is a truly captivating video; keep it going!
Researched well
CRUSADER KINGS TIME BABY HELLL YEAHH

Norman, so basically French. So the French England grew to hate the French French...got it.
The Normans were originally Vikings, not French.
@@sonicjimmerand just to confuse things the English claim Norman heritage as well 😂
The Normans were Norse, not French.
I trace my Norman ancestors back to vikings in Norway to the year 698.
The Normans aren't French. They were French speaking VIkings.
The terrible club music ruins it

@liam1561 totally, but more viking than anything
@liam1561 Most of the Normans maintained alot of their viking ancestry and identity. Hence why we became the force of knights that we did.
@liam1561 they, becoming a part of France, did carry the influence of France to England and thus French became the language of the Royal Court until about the 1800's. They even have their own version of French, still spoken in areas of Normandy and the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey.
We gained much vocabulary from the French
Please guys hire a different presenter.
Why?
You lost me at "coronated". There's no such word. Try to speak English when you're talking about crowns and kings.
