I myself learned too that they helped the first portuguese king to conquer Lisbon from the moors in Iberia during the reconquista, I was never taught this! I loved learning about them! Perhaps in the future there will be more videos about the Normans!
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.
After reading a fair amount about them I got very interested in their history! I might do a couple more videos about the Normans all across the Mediterranean!
Its good research and reading: The Normans provided much support, chaos, and opposition to the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium). Everything in that 'Normanorum' text rang true.
This channels is gold bro. Use CK3 and explain the history there amazing stuff. I hope you cover a bit more of the islamic world and the indian subcontinent
Thanks! :D Due to my ignorance I don't know much about those places in the middle ages, that makes it a bit hard to get ideas, but if you have any sugestions, I am more than welcome to take them in! The only ideia i have at the moment is something on the lines of "Who were the Mamluks?"
the Normans don't speak French in their palates, a language d'oïl (Latin) the Normans... And not to mention that the Nordic language, Normannic, endured 400 years after the colonization of France... He didn't have a French culture, but a Norman one.... good video I'm happy to know your channel
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.
@@KnowHistoryold English survived for 200 years after the conquest. English was already changing due to the Danes. Old English in Scotland didn’t experience the Norman conquest but it still evolved into Scots. I would blame the Angevins for all the French in English.
Quite a disappointing video considering that nearly half of it is given over to advertising your video war games... 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!
Dismissed as Viking savages these dudes were politically astute LAMF, Managed to rule from Ireland to Outremer, still have descendants on thrones today... pretty impressive (except for the rape thing, that was uncool)

The Normans were French tho. Yes their ethnicity was viking, but they also spoke French so they were French.
Normans. The guys no one expected would change the face of Europe in multiple ways.

Exceptionally made and fantastic narration as always!
Thank you so much! :D
Great video with beautiful visuals.
Thank you!
Long live Rollo and the Normans. Bless them always the wolf among us.
The Normans were like medieval real estate agents-they showed up in England, said 'Nice place, we’ll take it,' and just… never left!
I love how you use the ck3 map , good work mate 👍🏻
Love your content, keep up the good work. If I may ask, how is it that you make those amazing maps?
Thank you! I have a tutorial on how to do them on reddit, I'll link it!

Crusader kings is the only reference I have when I think about historical figures as to how they looked😂
Many came from Skåne: Hougby-Hyby, Fullto-Fulltofta, Iveto-Ivetofta, Bourgeby-Borgeby etc...
Somehow "The Allied Invasion of Nuestria lacks a certain 'gravitas'."
Nice video
Thank you!
@@KnowHistory you're welcome
Danny dyer from football factory is a descedent of Rollo🤣

Norman language is a langue d'Oil, like Francien, Picard, Gallo or Angevin...
@@seigneurcanardo7030 That's what I'm saying 💀
British or Portuguese?
Me: Portuguese

I am still amused that my ancestor, William Duc du Normandy, ended up marrying a descendant of Charlemagne : Matilda of Flanders.
I ❤ Roberto il Guiscardo
I hold a grudge against the Normans for 1066, for the destruction of the Old English language.
On another hand, it's thanks to that that English is so intelligible for many other European languages! Have you heard of Anglish?

Get over it you dork. You sound like Tolkien waxing poetic about that shit.
