Oh genetically it’s all pretty much the same people fighting each other, I know that. Go back far enough even more so.
My expertise is post 1800s though so I’m a bit useless on this kind of stuff. Basically when some fat German kings came over to the UK. Thats where I start. Anyhow with a surname Hurst “we” won that’s all I need to know
No, culturally they were not Danes. You can use your etnic card as much as you want (though a weak card it is in 1066), but as an actual fellow historian, I do not accept that you call Norwegians anno 1066 for Danes and they are even less Danes now
They also rowed across, my point is it’s all bullshit as I have all 3 blood lineage in my family line and anyone from north England probably does due to Dane Law and the recent knowledge that populations did actually mingle.
Anyhow swung back to Norway just now as I saw some English “patriots” abusing some imaginary Norwegians.
Danes were generally not involved in the battles of 1066, apart from those who fought with the Anglo-Saxon host.
The word “Dane”, does not refer to northmen or those with a viking occupation, but specifically refers to the ethnic group Danes back then and the Danish today. You cannot as a historian write Dane for Northmen. Sorry, but I really am that asinine when it comes to history if i am talking to someone who “should know better”.
Kane plays football and is one hell of a striker. That’s all that counts, surely?
The thing I don’t like about him is when he decides to be a defender or defensive midfielder. Reminds me of Rooney too much.
Not very important this, but the original intent of my rude intervention, was to nosedly, like an “but aktually” sketch, arrest you for using the incorrect term Dane in reference to Northmen
Aha, I zoomed in on the error like a hawk and spent 3 posts insinuating and mocking you for it.
I didn’t care about the rest you wrote, as it was not incorrect
But since I am outrageously petty today, google “which Scandinavian was first to be named Magnus”.
Probably your source will say “later the name became popular among both the Norwegian and Swedish nobility and eventually it became a more common name etc” (just guessing tbh).
‘Sweden has the highest number of people named Magnus in Scandinavia. With around (0.73%) of its population bearing the name, Sweden has the largest absolute and proportional count’
