Was England considered a “colony” of France when it was conquered

In England William was a king and a subject to none, while in Normandy he was a duke and a vassal of a French king. He conquered England for himself while still legaly paying his obligations as a duke of Normandy to a king of France.

It's a bit weird to understand but that's feudalism for ya.

England gained its independance in 2 events

Henry IV speaking english as his first language

And losing its territories on the continent in 1453.

From then on, it was distinctly separate from France.

The Conqueror claimed the crown of England, which makes them the sovereign ruler, not a vassal.

>>2663306
As king of England, yes, as duke of Normandy, he was still officially the vassal of the king of France

>I've never heard of an event that caused its succession from Normandy.

so what

>>2663677
You were conquered by French and not Norman as claimed

Your second question is null and void since the answer to the first one was "no".

>he was still officially the vassal of the king of France

The dukedom was. The Kingship wasn't. The two titles were separate and held different authorities and responsibilities.

But if the King of England is a vassal to the King of France, doesn't that make England a colony of sorts?

>>2663853
Not at all, but it still means that their king is, ultimately, French, a fact which every bong in existence will try to fiercely deny.
