@Umarkarim89 English=immigrants to eastern Britain, arrived mid5thC from Denmark/Germany; Welsh=descendants of pre-English Britons :) -
@caitlinrgreen and yeah wht are the normans called ? because in a documentry it was said that today they constitute a 5th of the total pop. -
@Umarkarim89 Hmm. Normans were an elite, nowhere near that many of them. Vikings (Northmen) might be what they meant? If so, lots in > -
@Umarkarim89 > eastern & northern Britain, much fewer in southern/western. -
@caitlinrgreen if Normans were an elite then i can presume they constituted the new royality and upper class after 1066. (They said Normans) -
@Umarkarim89 Yes, with current Queen being a direct descendant of William the Conqueror. -
