Had anyone invade and replace the royal family of England since the Normans?
Would King Henry VIII have been of Norman ancestry, and a direct descendant to William the Conqueror?
>>1658631
The current royal house of Britain are the Windsors. Formerly the Saxe-Coburg-Gothas.
Krauts.

>>1658631
Why don'tcha just fucking google it?
Literally Wikipedia: Kings of England
>>1658631
Was Henry a good king? I often hear people go on about how he was a bad person, but I don't hear much about how efficiently he ran his country.
>>1658631
A lot of nationalities have passed on the English throne
>>1658721
He had a long reign lasting almost 40 years, so he must have done some good.
Removed the pope so he could bang as many women as he wanted, all around chad desu.
>>1658721
He was pretty good on the whole, getting somewhat shitter towards the end of his life as syphilis and obesity fucked him. He founded the Royal Navy.
>>1658814
Is getting fat later in life the norm for kings?
I heard that William the conqueror was really obese in his later years.
>>1658727
>saxon kings
>English
You mean anglo-saxon kings
the english people don't even exist
>>1658821
The kingdom of England has existed as a centralised state since the early 10th century Anon. A distinct English people has existed since the time of Bede.
>>1658668
Is that president Trump?

Wrong.

>>1658861
>can't even refute me
hahaha you ""english"" are fucking pathetic
>>1658856
You are wrong Anon. I'm sorry.
You seriously think William of Normandy had jack shit to do with the piss weak French monarchy? Half of France was English for 400 years. Don't let hindsight blind you lad.
>>1658906
>was English
You're an idiot.
The Plantagenets were Frenchmen using England as a source of money and troops to fight their war for France.
>>1658736
>He had a long reign lasting almost 40 years, so he must have done some good.

1. King Æthelstand united the seven kingdoms in 927 AD into the nation of England.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Æthelstan
2. Bede wrote his Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum in 731, using the word 'Anglorum' ('of the English'), and would not have done so if such a people did not exist.

>Was Henry a good king?
He is generally agreed to be a shitty manchild ruler whose underlings managed to achieve some things despite him, not because of him (and were executed as a reward when they fell out of favor for retarded reasons).
>>1658914
Is that incorrect? Usually shit rulers get assassinated or usurped.
>>1658933
Yes, that is incorrect.
>>1658933
I mean you start with assumption that only bad kings got assassinated or that upper nobility didn't like having a useful idiot on the throne when it benefited them. Plus some people were on throne exactly because they were ruthless, paranoid and merciless so scheming couldn't get around them.

royal blood lines been germanic dating to caesar
>>1661042
What?
>>1658727
>German queen
>Pakistanese mayor
>Black bull
English aren't in control of their country anymore
>>1661042
>We wuz king and shit
Royal blood line are some of the most inbreed blood in the world, giving them a race is stupid, they're their own mutant abomination now.
>>1658631
HOLD THE FUCK UP I KNOW THIS GUY.
>>1661122
>>1658721
He started getting worse after his tournament accident fucked his head. He also started swelling to the huge proportions most people know him afterwards.
>>1661146
Is this some germanic "We wuz"?
>>1661143
Spanish Habsburgs aside, royals on average were more outbred than peasants.
>A French guy marries a Hungarian princess, their son marries a Swedish noblewoman, their son marries a German duchess etc
compared to
>peasants inbreeding with sisters and cousins in the same little fucking village for 500 years straight
Yes...
The first time was in 1154 when Henry of Anjou conquered England and became king as Henry II. His dynasty ruled for over three centuries.
>>1658721
he was a bad king like all lanklet kings are
>>1661173
aye
>>1661177
Really? Why the fuck do European peasants do that?
In Imperial Chinese peasant villages there's an unspoken cultural rule that you marry someone outside of a village. Because usually Chink villages are clan villages of people belonging to the same family.
Did Medieval European peasants not do that?
>>1661221
Because European peasants were utterly xenophobic, for one.
>>1661279
>Church had banned inbreeding to the seventh degree
This is a ginormous meme pushed by Hajnal faggotry peddlers like HBD Chick.
>>1661177
If European royals marry only (or nearly only) each other, they were the genetic equivalent of the "same little fucking village," or even worse. They're all related. It doesn't matter if they're geographically separated.
>>1661296
>royals marry only each other
No, royals didn't only marry each other, where the fuck are you getting that from?
>>1661279
because kings controlled the church kinda like rich people today are immune to laws
>>1658660
He looks alpha as fuck. Would probably look like a bydlo brawler similar to picrelated if it wasn't for the homosexual clothes.
>>1658927
Anglorum =/=English strictly speaking
The Lowland Scots called themselves angles but they didn't call themselves English
>>1661279
>and the Church handled marriage?
You actually only needed a witness to get married in medieval times. They could undo it if you were already married or related though.
>>1658727
Fixed

>Canute, Harald and Canute II still English
