Nothing in this sick world surprises me anymore....it is getting worse by the day, because we as a society has pushed God out of our lives, culture and academia. These are all after-effects and the result of rejecting the Christian faith in the West among the elite. So-called "progressive" attitudes. It's going to only get worse, and heading for the culmination event that is getting closer.

I noticed you used a double T in the word Britons, and I don't know if that's just a typo or whether you think Britons stem from Brittany. I've previously noticed a few posters from outside of Great Britain and Europe who've mistakenly stated that ancient Britons in Great Britain stemmed from Brittany in France - when it's actually the other way around. The ancient Britons didn't come from Brittany in France;- Bretons in Brittany descend from ancient Britons in Great Britain.
The Bretons are a Celtic ethnic group native to historical region Brittany. They trace much of their heritage to groups of Brittonic speakers who emigrated from southwestern Great Britain, particularly Cornwall and Devon, mostly during the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain. They migrated in waves from the 3rd to 9th century (most heavily from 450 to 600) into Armorica, which was subsequently named Brittany after them.
The main traditional language of Brittany is Breton (Brezhoneg), spoken in Lower Brittany (i.e. the western part of the peninsula). Breton is spoken by around 206,000 people as of 2013. The other principal minority language of Brittany is Gallo; Gallo is spoken only in Upper Brittany, where Breton is less dominant. As one of the Brittonic languages, Breton is related closely to Cornish and more distantly to Welsh, while the Gallo language is one of the Romance langues d'oïl. Currently, most Bretons' native language is standard French.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BretonsArmorica or Aremorica is the name given in ancient times to the part of Gaul between the Seine and the Loire that includes the Brittany Peninsula, extending inland to an indeterminate point and down the Atlantic Coast.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArmoricaToward the end of the 4th century, the Britons of what is now Wales and the South-Western peninsula of Great Britain began to emigrate to Armorica. The history behind such an establishment is unclear, but medieval Breton, Angevin and Welsh sources connect it to a figure known as Conan Meriadoc. Welsh literary sources assert that Conan came to Armorica on the orders of the Roman usurper Magnus Maximus, who sent some of his British troops to Gaul to enforce his claims and settled them in Armorica. This account was supported by the Counts of Anjou, who claimed descent from a Roman soldier expelled from Lower Brittany by Conan on Magnus's orders. Regardless of the truth of this story, Brythonic (British Celtic) settlement probably increased during the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain in the 5th and 6th centuries.
Scholars such as Léon Fleuriot have suggested a two-wave model of migration from Britain which saw the emergence of an independent Breton people and established the dominance of the Brythonic Breton language in Armorica. Their petty kingdoms are now known by the names of the French counties that succeeded them—Domnonée (Devon), Cornouaille (Cornwall), Léon (Caerleon); but these names in Breton and Latin are in most cases identical to their British homelands. (In Breton and French, however, Gwened or Vannetais continued the name of the indigenous Veneti.) Although the details remain confused, these colonies consisted of related and intermarried dynasties which repeatedly unified (as by the 7th-century Saint Judicaël) before splintering again according to Celtic inheritance practices.
The area was finally consolidated in the 840s under Nominoe in resistance to Frankish control. Among the immigrant Britons, there were some clergymen who helped the evangelisation of the region, which was still pagan, particularly in rural areas.

You're a well-known American poster on TA who pretends to be British, lol.
Btw, you keep portraying Normans as being pale skinned gothic men with dyed jet black hair and Halloween make-up on their faces.... (and I'm sure those guys in the pictures you keep posting are talented artists - and that's not the issue,)... but let's be realistic;- here's real and natural pictures of Northern French people from Normandy - who also have blue eyed blonds amongst them too: https://www.google.com/search?q=norm...-znFH_SUcdD7M:
(I'm not a Nordicist who idolises blonds or who thinks that blonds are superior to brunets - but I just get the impression that you think blond people are somehow 'inferior' to brunets - which I disagree with too. I get the notion that you think Northern French people (specifically Normans) are all brunet and 'superior'... but I know for a fact that there's also blond people amongst the Northern French. Also not all Vikings and Germanic people were blond and there's brunets amongst Norse and Germanic peoples too.)
The Normans 'North Man' themselves descend from Germanic and Norse people who settled in Normandy, Northern France, prior to the Norman conquest of England in 1066 after King Harold Godwinson lost his battle against William the Conqueror at the infamous Battle of Hastings in 1066.
(The year 1066 is forever etched onto English peoples minds.... and it's one of the first things I remember learning about during history lessons in my Lady Boswell's Church of England primary school in Sevenoaks, Kent... before my family returned to live in our native Dorset in the West Country. Infants in my schoolclass were taken on school outing trips to visit local historic castles... and I also remember being taken on a school trip as an infant to look at the scene in Hastings where the battles between the Anglo-Saxons and Normans took place.)
The Norse Viking settlers in Normandy adopted a dialect of French which later merged with English following the Norman Conquest, as I explained in more detail in the video I made below in 2012 using various sources for the information which I included in the links below the video.
The Normans took over the aristocracy and upper middle classes of England, and the Normans built the Tower of London and lots of palaces and castles all over England and Wales.
The Normans (Norman: Normaunds; French: Normands; Old Norse: Norðmaðr) are a Germanic ethnic group that arose in Normandy, a northern region of France, from contact between Viking settlers and indigenous Franks and Gallo-Romans.
The settlements in France followed a series of raids on the French coast from Denmark, Norway, and Iceland, and they gained political legitimacy when the Viking leader Rollo agreed to swear fealty to King Charles III of West Francia.
The distinct cultural and ethnic identity of the Normans emerged initially in the first half of the 10th century, and it continued to evolve over the succeeding centuries.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NormansThis interesting documentary below also covers some more information about the Norman influence on the English language. Despite the English vocabulary only being 1/3 Germanic, English is still classified as a Germanic language due to its Germanic grammar structure and base.Normandy (/ˈnɔːrməndi/; French: Normandie [nɔʁmɑ̃di] (About this soundlisten); Norman: Normaundie; from Old French Normanz, plural of Normant, originally from the word for "northman" in several Scandinavian languages) is the northwesternmost of the 18 regions of France, roughly referring to the historical Duchy of Normandy.
