What was their fucking problem? No really, Normans seem to be

Normans did nothing wrong, they were a much welcomed improvement over their unwashed, barbaric distant cousins

>>2615642
The Norman conquest of Sicily might interest you as a counterpoint. They brought a good measure of stability to the region thanks to their military prowess.

Scandis washed and combed themselves more often than other Euros at the time

Actually, now that you mention Sicily, they were actually bros with the local muslims. There's even work done showing that UK common law was originally a transfer of sharia law techniques they learned from Normandy (sharia law being precedent based)

Kinda weird considering the whole crusader narrative has been tailored to fit the opposite view

>>2615840
anglo-saxons literally thought the vikings were overly obsessed with cleanliness because of their frequent bathing and combing

>>2615853
It's not about the truth for this guy, it's about the shitposting in itself. Just move along.

Imagine you're a landless noble but you have the ability to gather enough warriors for an army. Wouldn't you conquer shit?

>>2615642
There is no problem. Nothing wrong with conquering some foreign land, if you can keep it.

A good guideline are the words

>WUZ
Keep your distance from them.

>>2615853
the whole snot in bowl thing is actually mentioned in muslim sources desu

>>2615642
>Normans seem to be a culture

They werent a particular culture
Just Frenchmen

>>2615830
Language, religion, way of life, architecture, mounted warfare

>>2615843
They had a lot in common with the Arabs at the time, who also set up a bunch of principalities around the Mediterranean.
