UltraViolet, Vikings were pagans, not Christians and spoke Danish. England was never conquered by the Danes or the French, which is why the world's foremost language is English

That's the daftest question yet. They were Normans. They left Normandy. The clue is in the name. PS: They were NOT French. England has NEVER been invaded by the French.
