The Normans are French today .
I'm not really sure they identified themselves as such 900 years ago... even though they were living on a territory we now call France.

Robert, I never said they were not French. However, the do have Scandinavian heritage, as any historian/scholar will tell you.

Ron was discussing his possible Scandinavian heritage, as well as some French blood. I was simply pointing out the irony that the Normans also had Viking in them, thereby recognising them as part of France.

Oups ! My English really isn't up to standard !
For I ment to say exactly what you are saying .

Perhaps I should have said : "The Normans have only been recently considered French (hence my bold "today")

Thanks for being patient with me .

No worries, Robert! I was afraid I wasn't being clear enough.

All's well that's ends well.

Tally-ho!
