American Reacts to The War That Changed The English Language (Mini Wars #3) Over Simplified

march to the north. He made the grueling journey in just 4 days which is incredibly fast and caught the Vikings off guard and unprepared for battle B. The two armies stood on either side of the River Derwin. Legend has it that a Viking berserker single-handedly 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 jeweled spear. It gave the Vikings enough time to form a shield wall, but as they had been taken by surprise, many were not wearing their chain mail and armor and the English finally defeated them by killing Hardrada and with him ending the Viking era in England. , I could be wrong.

Going as far as that it was Hy who actually sent that fleet, but I remember they read about it, at least they read about it being the largest fleet at that time to land at English Shores, finally the Williams Fleet of more of 700 ships and 14,000. The men set sail and landed on the English coast at P, setting up camp near Hastings and Harold was still at York. His exhausted army had to march south a few days after his battle with the Vikings. Harold arrived in London and considered I just stood there and waited for William to come to him, but William forced Harold's hand by burning a bunch of villages.

Harold's army set out and met Williams on 14 October 1066 and both sides prepared for the English Battle of Hastings. a hill, so they decided to stay there because it was a good defensive position that the Normans approached and yes, being on The High Ground, that's what you want, the battle gives you a tactical advantage, uh, not even normally if you're commander and you are not. you're not number one, uh, you know, but even then, even being outnumbered, a tactical advantage is being fit and being able to defend your position many times, if it were, it could be the difference between victory and death and the two sides probably spent some time shouting 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 on defense, then Williams sent in his infantry.

Up the hill, the English threw everything they had at them and the Normans couldn't get through the shield 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 wave of shield wall defenses. After a wave of infantry and cavalry arrived, Harold knew that all he had to do was let the Normans wear themselves 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. the Shield Wall or perhaps it was an intentional deception tactic, but suddenly the Norman forces turned and fled from the English believing they had won.

The English breached the Shield Wall and pursued the retreating Normans, who then turned, surrounded the English troops and cut them off. In the chaotic fight that followed Harold Goson was killed, the most popular theory is that he took an arrow in the eye, the English were defeated and William had won, he was no longer just a bastard, he was now a conqueror at first, the English nobles They were reluctant to make him King, but William burned some more Villages and the Nobles finally relented and offered him the crown as it was, they didn't want to crown him King, then he burned some more Villages, yes I can see how.

They would be a hiding factor. Get the crown. Put it. Make it stop. A long and costly campaign to put down rebellions and burn towns across England to force the people into submission and England underwent 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 within the English

language

, the Normans brought their French dialect to England and it merged with Old English in the way we still live today. Firstly, the Normans were obviously the ones in power, so words related to power, such as government judge's castle and Crown, come from the Normans (words that are considered elegant or more refined are usually being the Normans at first the Anglo-Saxons probably weren't that friendly to the Normans while the Normans probably weren't that 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 although that filthy peasant's new shirt may be fair, the Norman blouse is absolutely beautiful, the Normans actually considered it somewhat Anglo-Saxon words, so it's interesting to see the differences, like where from The Language Fair, a beautiful room blouse, you see things like this, that this is the part where I wanted to see the raw video that I can't even say them on YouTube, but What's more, ask an Anglo-Saxon what job they do and might 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 in which Anglo-Saxon farmers work. the fields possessed many cows, pigs and sheep, but once they were served at a Norman banquet they became beef, pork and mutton, and written English also

changed

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

language

was idealized, your annoying friend who says Cool Whip.

He could simply be speaking a dialect of Old English as the Anglo-Saxons originally wrote it, when, where and what, but the Normans

changed

the W and the H and Long English, a vote sounded more like an O to the Normans, so you can thank you, brother. okay, that's cool, no I didn't know that, so the sound is like a cool whip, you know, cool whip, like you'd hear Stewie from Family Guy say it with the H in the first whip, that's oh Dude, that's nice. interesting and H around and the long vowel in English sounded more like an O to the Normans, so you can thank them you live in a house, it's not a ham, hey, fun fact about William, the man couldn't read either, not in French, not in English is not good at all, what if I told you that there is a place where you can learn French, English?

Even okay, there we have it, the war changing the English language, like I said. I want to see a video that goes a little deeper. because I know some basic things about it. I remember reading some basics about it and a little bit of the internal stuff surrounding it and Williams conquering all of England as well. I think so. and Wales too, if I'm not mistaken, but I remember reading a lot. I remember reading about that. When I was younger, I know world history from 10th grade. I want to believe in 9th grade world history too because in 11th and 12th grade we had the United States. history and then government economics as well, but I've also watched some documentaries and read independently while I was at school and about the Norman Conquest and also the years after the Norman Conquest, like there's a lot of things I want to delve into. which I need a refresher because I used to drink and be quite fond of history, there's a lot of stuff I've read about that, um, everyone gets some Shucks.

I'm not exactly all Shucks in everything I do. I promise there are a lot of things that I react to, either I don't know anything about it, it's historical or it's just been a lot of things, it's been a refresher, but I've specifically addressed certain things like accounts. of the Battle of Britain, uh, some of the things that have been summaries, like the over

simplified

one or the brief history of England in 10 minutes and things like that, which are just review material. I have read one of my favorite moments. periods or one of my favorite things to read when I was in school was the Wars of the Roses, the time that preceded it and the time that came after.

I love reading about that time period, um and even uh Queen. Victoria, I love reading like all of you, the history of England and the UK as a whole is fascinating because, and I see this in my comments section, the tribality that existed then exists now, but it is more condensed than it was in the past. in the day in my opinion, but it's interesting to take and read about the tribal ways of things, before you had this, you know, the government that you have now, yeah, so I definitely want to take a look at it. deeper things in the future won't be every week or anything, but I definitely will, some things like this we'll take a look at, it'll just be a refresher, and some things I want to take a little more in depth, check them out. things, to refresh my memory a little because getting older sucks, you either don't remember or you misremember a lot of things, so with that being said, I hope you all enjoyed this, be good. love each other peace
