Who was the last "norman" king of england? Was it the one who lost the province of normandy, namely king john? did the angevin kings consider themselves norman? the whole thing confuses me desu

Did the Normans call themselves that, or is it more a term used by thier foes and later historians who like to put things into tidy packages.

i think they did identify themselves as distinct from the english and the french, and i do think the word used to distinguish from others was in fact "norman", but as the rulers of england started to mingle with mix the locals the term norman was still often used but it had different meaning and it probably became useless after a certain point as the real "normans" accepted mixed kids into their ranks.

Henry II was a son of the Count of Anjou, but his father raised him as a Norman.

I think that Richard I mostly considered himself Aquitanian, due to the influence of his mother.
>>
A general rule from more modern historiography, Henry I is considered the last Norman king. As his lineage broke due to the death of his son, thus Stephen of Blois became King.

Though Henry II, despite being brought up in Anjou, to an extent understood his Norman heritage. Yet despite this, Henry II is considered the first of the Angevin kings, and of the Plantagenet dynasty.
