The Normans' Trip

Hi, i'm Hrolf and i'm normand! I am about to go on a trip to conquer the Britain isles. Me and my folk want to have more, so we are together and ready to go.
We arrived and we saw strange people, with strange costumes and strange hairstyles. That's weird.... but we started to introduce the French language and the new words like "judge", "jury", "evidence" and "justice". We also imposed the Latin, that was used in church. The English-speaking farmers says "cow", "sheep" and "swine", while the French-speaking toffs use word as "beef", "mutton" and "pork".
Although all this historical facts, there were some funny moments like when the captain William fell in love for a farmer girl, but it not ended well because she was married and so our captain was chased by a furious husband. To escape the captain has to dressed up as farmer. That was an hilarious moment.
After all we aren't just barbarians, we have manners. Just less polite than the britains.
However this invasion brought to France and England some disagreements and the Hundred Years War began. What a shame. Poor France.
But it's time to say goodbye, i hope you enjoyed my adventure and come back for more
Good luck and one advice: if you want something, go chase after it. :)
