Killing Englishmen has been a sport enjoyed by many for over a thousand years. Scandinavians, Normans, French, Spanish, Irish, Scottish, Germans...
...so many Englishmen, so little time...

Originally posted by kevcvs57This is true. Indeed the Normans were originally Scandinavians, but I thought it best to list them separately to distinguish the Norman Conquest in its own right. Few people know this, but historically even the first Russians were Scandinavians. The Scandinavians founded the first settlement there, named after the "Russ".
