IIRC, didn't William the Conqueror sail east across the English Channel in
1066? And didn't he set out from what is now Normandy?
I'm having cognitive dissonance now. How can the British ruin someplace
that a very significant number of them originated from to begin
with? Perhaps I'm over-simplifying this. ;-)
Yeah, it's amazing how a thousand years of intervening history can
"complexify" something so simple...
