The War that Changed the English Language - Mini-Wars #3 - @OverSimplified RENEGADES REACT

York. and defeated a regional army led by the northern earls and york surrendered when godwinson found out about this he must have been quite upset because he had just disbanded his army and now he had to gather them all again and march all the way north he did the grueling journey in just four days, which is incredibly fast and caught the Vikings off guard and unprepared for battle. The two armies were on both sides of the river. The legend of Derwent says that a Viking berserker alone held the only bridge across the river dodging arrows and fending off attackers until some English soldiers crawled under the bridge in a barrel and gave him the old spear in the jewel, this It gave the Vikings enough time to form a shield wall, but because they were caught off guard, many were not carrying their chain.

Mail and armor and the English finally defeated them killing Hardrada and with him ending the Viking era in England. Eventually, William's fleet of over 700 ships and 14,000 men set sail and landed on the English coast at Pevensey and set up camp near Hastings. and harold was still in york, his exhausted army had marched all the way south a few days after his battle with the vikings, harold arrived in london and considered simply staying there and waiting for william to come to him, but william forced harold burning a lot of villages. Howard's army set out and met. Williams on 14 October 1066 and both sides prepared for the Battle of Hastings.

The English were on a hill, so they decided to stay there because it was a good defensive position. It's over Anakin. I got the high ground as they shouted at each other. William. and the Normans had some tactical advantages over the English, the first were the archers, the Normans sent volley after volley of arrows at the English, who formed a shield wall in defense, then William sent his infantry up the hill, the English They threw everything they had from them. and the Normans could not break through the field wall, then the Normans' next tactical advantage came into play.

William sent his cavalry up the hill, but even they struggled to break through the shield wall defenses. Wave after wave of infantry and cavalry arrived and Harold knew everything. all he had to do was let the rules run out and he would win, but then something a little strange happened. It is possible that the Normans incorrectly believed that William had been killed, perhaps they lost the will to fight against the shield or perhaps it was an intentional deception tactic, but suddenly the Norman forces turned and fled from the English believing that they had won. The English broke through their shield wall and pursued the retreating Normans, who then turned and surrounded the English troops and cut them off in the chaotic fighting that followed.

Harold Gorwinson was murdered. the most popular theory is that he received an arrow in the eye the

english

were defeated and the iranians had a he was no longer just a bastard he was now a conqueror at first the

english

nobles were reluctant to make him king but william burned some More towns and The nobles finally relented and offered him the crown when he was crowned. The local villagers in Westminster let out a cry of support, but William thought it was a riot, so he burned the village down. Williams, yes he did and here's why William.

He is considered the first true monarch of England is because he not only did that, but he did it to undertake a long and costly campaign to put down rebellions and burn villages all over England to force the people to submit and England. went through a massive transformation under its new Norman rule the English nobles were replaced by Normans they built castles and great cathedrals but one of the most interesting changes occurred with the English

language

the Normans brought their French dialect to England and emerged with all the English noise Still We live today, first of all, the Normans were obviously the ones in power, so words related to power, such as government, judge, castle and crown, come from the Normans.

The words that are considered elegant are more refined, generally they are the Norman ones at the beginning, the Anglo-Saxon ones. they probably weren't as friendly to the Normans while the Normans probably weren't as friendly to the Anglo-Saxons an Anglo-Saxon might walk into a room but a Norman would walk into a chamber an Anglo-Saxon might buy a shirt while a Norman would buy a blouse and while that filthy peasant's new shirt may be fair, the Norman blouse is absolutely beautiful, the Normans actually considered some Anglo-Saxon words so crude that I can't even say them on youtube, but there's more, ask an Anglo-Saxon.

Saxon what job does he do and could respond with some low-level trade such as a baker, miller or shoemaker, but a Norman has a skilled trade such as a painter, tailor or merchant, Anglo-Saxon farmers who worked in the fields owned many cows, pigs and sheep , but once they were served at a Norman banquet they became pork and mutton and written English also

changed

, as many Anglo-Saxons did not know how to write, the written

language

was Roman, this is the biggest change that everyone knows today in day. He could just be speaking an old English dialect as the Anglo-Saxons originally wrote it, when, where and what, but the Normans swapped the w and the h and the long English vowel a sounded more like an o to the Normans, so you can thank them he lives in a house, it's not a ham, hey, a fun fact about William, the man couldn't read or write, not in French, not in English, he was illiterate, he was illiterate, wow, imagine that, well, I mean, in Actually, you don't have to imagine that. we've had a lot of world leaders who are absolute idiots, I mean no I'm not naming names but several presidents I'm sorry oh I'm just saying it out loud not in any good way what if I told you there's a place where can you learn French and English even?

Japanese, if you want and not only that, pick a musical instrument, learn how to code games and apps, animation, photography and film anything you can dream of, all taught by genuine experts and you can get your first two months free. I'm talking about skill sharing for 17+, I talked about skill sharing before Brian and Marie were teaching a class on 3D artwork and I thought it would be cool to look into it. Oh, I have a free trial that you know you'll like. I know nothing. about using my video editor, for example, so instead of bothering Nick, maybe I could see if there's something quick in there, you know, yeah, honestly, it's working and I could learn something that might help Nick, even if he made another person. because you know people share advice like that really well, it's like I learned things from Wolf, I learned things from Jacob, so I've been considering it.

I'm going to take note so I don't forget it. You should definitely do that and uh the biggest supporter of

oversimplified

has been Skillshare. I mean, you know, if you want to search more on uh, more on Skillshare, uh, you know, if you want to search on uh

oversimplified

more. get some skill share stuff on there, I think it would be good maybe because I know I'm going to work more on my channel after surgery, maybe I could use some overly simplified content for

react

ions, oh yeah, if they go well, no I do. I don't know, oh so far, I mean really good, I mean I could definitely do that since I have no idea, it would be a really good way to learn some things, learning is important, oh man, I'm trying to think of something to write here I'm trying to think of a good historical joke but I can't think of anything that comes to mind, yeah, that was oversimplified, uh, the war that

changed

the English language and hasn't stopped, I I mean you.

You know when the Angles came and then you know when the Saxons came, it all came together and then hearing Old English spoken is almost like hearing it is like, what are they talking about? Okay, right, and finally, well, I mean the numbers and the numbers and the letters are Hindi Arabic, so I mean, yeah, it's just everything is borrowed from everything guys, it's the extension um that you have in your youtube, oh yeah, the uh tubebuddy that's new, yeah, this, uh, yeah, it shows you like all the cool stuff even. it's shared on social media, but I also noticed the tags that I've never seen before, yeah, yeah, and that's why I basically have it because I'm like, oh, that's interesting, that's cool, it shows all the different things that they have . tagged and it's also shown here uh it shows what your keywords are like in terms of their use uh keywords yeah, it's cool, it's very interesting, it also shows that you like to share on social media and all that I really like that's cool ,uh.

I have to say it's over simplified and I'm curious what it looks like because usually they like pins and stuff redirecting my friends yeah okay that's exactly what I expected yeah Napoleon oh yeah, they also have the pins like Well, oh, they sold out of the Napoleon pins. They have Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill. Look, I don't even know who half of these people are. I don't know, I need to learn. Henry VIII. Marie Antoinette. King. Louie. I've heard their names but george washington washington average height by the time I was going to say you should understand that you should get that uh and use those emus they are magical uss starbucks that's cool although I was definitely expecting some fun stuff so this was oh yeah, defect to the west, we have vegetable peelers, I, uh, yeah, I was like an uncool guy, the guillotine cut, I like it, but the Napoleon pen, uh, Napoleon, that's cool, I'd like to try get some of these, I know, I want to get the George Washington one, oh, the King Louie one, one that looks pretty good, uh, the most historical thing I know is that I've seen the Hamilton musical, so that's where I'm into history in terms of historical accuracy, that's not the best, but I would recommend it, I definitely remember asking you why you used to want to be a history teacher.

I told him you would show Hamilton in your class and you said you would, but you would also leave a disclaimer. I would say that here is what is different. be parts like after certain parts it would be like in the whole present day with this scene right here I don't know why lin-manuel miranda changed the historical aspect because the actual historical aspect was very interesting I have to do it I have a tick tock but We have been doing this video since forever, so I'll show it to you later. Yeah, I also need to tell you what Chad's next song is going to be about, so let's move on.
