@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. -
@caitlinrgreen ahaan more commonly know as William of Orange :) this is the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1066_The_Battle_for_Middle_Earth … and yes it was a 3 part movie :) -
@Umarkarim89 Ah, ok! Not seen, I'm afraid :) William was also known as William the Bastard, but William of Orange later (L17thC) -
@caitlinrgreen on an interesting note we have a whole community in coastal areas who claim to be indigenous but hv African origin also :) - 8 more replies

@caitlinrgreen well it means theres a geographic allocation as well to these groups? -
@Umarkarim89 Well, modern Wales=the British(Welsh)-controlled areas that remained independent of English rule through early medieval period> -
@Umarkarim89 >, whereas the Britons/Welsh in what became England were taken over by Anglo-Saxons(English) & adopted new rulers' language etc -
@caitlinrgreen right right. obviously welsh is a bit different. Well now most of us know Wales for that footballer Gareth Bale :)
