Witness eyewitness accounts of what others have said about them throughout history:

"The people are bold, courageous, ardent and cruel in war. But very inconstant, rash, vainglorious, light and deceiving. And very suspicious, especially of foreigners, whom they despise". - anonymous Dutch merchant

"The inhabitants are extremely proud and overbearing. They care little for foreigners, but scoff and laugh at them". - Frederick, Duke of Wurttemburg, circa 1592

"The more blood they shed, the crueller and more ruthless they become. They're fiery and furious, they quickly grow angry and take a long time to calm down." - Jean Froissart, medieval chronicler and soldier

""The scum of the earth. The mere scum of the earth". - Wellington, describing his own army.

"All ultimately intermarried to produce a race of many strains, which may account for the paradox that a people famed for stolid, patient, practical common-sense; a nation as Napoleon said, of "shopkeepers", has produced more adventurers, explorers and poets than probably any other in history". - Arthur Bryant, author
