yeah
or norman
i'd be cool with it if 1066 had turned out differently
and we continued to have an anglo saxon monarchy
but it didn't so i'm not
^
Normans are pretty gay rt.
normans have done some breddi cool shit
but they should've stayed away from england
Thistbh
they ambushed and kidnapped the pope once
some norman knights who owned a big chunk of southern italy
Gay
been ages since i read about it let me google it
yteah they had some hella great exploits
the conquest of sicily was amazing
with like 600 knights
they took out thousands of moors
obviously the 50k figure is inflated
lololol
but they were still outnumbered by a huge margin
easily ten to one in real life
yeah
the normans were such nutty geezers
i doubt it was 50 to 1
but ten to one holy shit
yeah there's a great documentary i watched on them recently
they were the most effective cavalry in the world at that time
brave as fuck
and their patron saint was a warrior
can't remember which saint it was now
saint morris is one of my favorite saints
martyreed roman legion commander who carried the spoear of longinus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VM4TiaDnnYM this is the documentary i was talking about
the 3rd episode is all about their exploits in the med
conquering sicily, southern italy
even a chunk of north africa
