You mean the French :


HIC FRANCI PUGNANT ET CECIDERUNT QUI ERANT CUM HAROLDO
Here the French are fighting and have killed those who were with Harold

HIC HAROLD REX INTERFECTUS EST
Here King Harold is slain

ET FUGA VERTERUNT ANGLI
and the English have turned in flight

>Normans / Crusaders

You still mean the French right ?


As the Franks (French) formed a substantial part of the force of the First Crusade, and Old French became the dominant language in the crusader states of the 12th century (notably the Principality of Antioch), the term Frank as used in the Levant could mean any Western European Christian (whether Frankish, Saxon, Flemish, etc.). Frangistan was no clearly defined area and may have referred to any land perceived to be Christian by contemporary Muslims.

>>3220119

He said Brits, but nobody can deny France was the ultimate power at the start of the 19th century.

>>3220193
yes, and then they got their shit pushed in and remained in Britains shadow for the remaining 86 years of the century.

>>3220225
Technically op said warriors, and the Brits have never been the greatest warriors, Britain never had the best or strongest army, Britain was powerful because of its navy, so even if France got its shit pushed in Britain doesn't take the spot, Russia maybe, the Russians may have been poorly trained and preformed poorly in many cases, but their status as tough soldiers was never in question.

>>3220225

Britain ? What is this ? How you mean that irelevant regional power that lost all its colonies and that France is currently eating ?

One could say that Britain btfo'd everyone because of industrial revolution and biggest colonial empire and strongest navy.

>France
France is not even close in the 19th century. 19th century France is busy hosting a German victory parade and preparing Versailles for Reich time.

>>3220301
Britain btfo'd everyone because navy = power, like what the airforce is today, Britain is an island, they had to focus on the Navy primarily for defense, which meant they could skimp on the army, since the Navy did the defending, continental european powers like Spain, France and Germany couldn't afford to neglect their armies because of the threat of land invasions, Britain's focus on the Navy gave them the upper hand in their Colonial pursuits which made them a superpower. The British army was always a relatively small force.

>>3220344
Guy that isn't relevant after 1814?

Its still the 19th century and everyone and their grandmother had to fight together in order to defeat him.

Tell me again why you see France at #1 spot for the 19th century

>>3220391
>Tell me again why you see France at #1 spot for the 19th century

I don't, but Britain isn't #1 in any case, its about warriors not navy and politics. My choice is Russia.

To you retards, we're not talking about military powers, but individual skill of the soldiers...

>>3220407
Why is France on the list then?

Because this is /his/, not an meme board filled with underage americans who spout "le surrendermonky meme". The French were feared for centuries.

>>3220340
This thread Is about warriors though, not countries.

Norman identity was a thing in the 11th and 12th centuries. Calling them Franks isn't necessarily incorrect but still. It wasn't Franks who conquered Sicily and England and Antioch.

What about the 5th to the 10th centuries.
I'd say it would begin with the Huns.

>>3220601
and 7th Arabs.

>>3220601
>>3220608
Germanic tribes get the 6th century then and Vikings likely 9th

>>3220634
I'd say the Goths were probably a stronger force than the Angles and Saxons. The 8th-9th could be for the Franks also.

>>3219880
But which ones feared the black warrior?

>>3219880

maybe on sea, on land it was Prussia

>>3219919
Didnt know you were still shitpostig around here. Very nice material

>>3220403
Why Russia instead of Prussia for "most advanced and feared warriors".

Certainly this comparison looks to be mano-a-mano, and one for one a Prussian Soldier would beat a Russian one pretty much at any time in the 19th century.

>>3220521
>Norman identity was a thing in the 11th and 12th centuries

Nope

It is what Anglo try very hard to believe because they refuse the fact that they have been conquered and enslaved by French

The so called Normans are just French inhabiting the duchy of Normandy the Northmen weren't numerous enough to replace any French there, and they weren't alone for the conquest of Britain but people all over France came to conquer it even Bretons

>>3221302
>shitposting
Rude ! I never shitpost but frankpost !

>>3220502

Deal with it faggot, you are speaking English as língua franca for some reason

>>3222754
That's because of the last 3 centuries, not the 10th-15th centuries.

I'd make a solid case that the best warriors of the 10th/11th/12th century were the Song/Liao armies that had plentiful access to gunpowder, standardized state-provided equipment, and plentiful access to steel.

>>3223007

Why not the mongols? They got the greatest empire, conquered China and ruined the caliphate, and from Gengis khan to timur the great they were feared by many

>>3222754
>you are speaking English as língua franca for some reason
Because of British merchants and sailors, not warriors.

>>3223021
And thats why they are on top spot for 13th century.

>>3223055

Those British merchants messed up well with China in the opium wars he?

Really? Bragging about fighting non-whites during times when differences between Europe and rest of the world were largest is not enough to call British le superiour warriors.

Germans are the ones who deserve the title.

>>3219880

'no'

It's France from 1800 to 1815
Then Russia from 1815 to 1850s
Then Germans

Brits conquered spears wielding Zulus and shit, but that's not being greatest warriors

>>3220666
8th century is still Arabs.

>>3224160

isn't that the century where you lost all your north american colonies to the english? wow what a great century

>>3224150
>remind me again how long you lasted again the germans?
Hundred of years?

>>3220457
Anglo here, OP's a faggot and retards are arguing over who was the largest world power instead of what he actually said.

>>3224168

Implying I'm French. Can't you be a brainlet in another thread?

>>3224150

It is the contrary

The Germans lasted against us 2 weeks during the Napoleonic Wars

Now name your shithole


Seeing how bitter you are i guess we raped your shithole a lot

Prussian soldiers were famous for being the most drilled and organized. That is the opposite of single combat.

>>3224521
quite frankly this.
