Normans Saxons
Despite the fact that the Normans completely subjugated the Anglo-Saxons, how did English manage to survive?
Though the Normans conquered England, the grand total of Norman settlers was probably no more than 8,000. They may have had the arms to subdue the land, but they didn't have the numbers to subdue the culture. Eventually, the outnumbered Normans were absorbed into the greater English culture and language.

Norman Cavalry Vs Saxon Infantry
what really is the difference between the "Saxons" and the "Normans"? and were not both of these from Norway?
also, how similar are the people today in Holland and Norway? how about Denmark?
when, why these two different peoples supposedly the "Saxons" and the "Normans" came to Britiain originally? and which percentage mixed with the "Britons" and were these "Celtic or Gaelic " people? where they originated from and why they too went to the isle of Britain? how they are genetically similar too?
please explain
AS WELL,,WHAT WERE THE DIFFERENT REASONS THESE TWO "TRIBES" CAME TO BRITAIN, AND AGAIN, WHICH DIFFERENT TIMES?
WHICH PERCENTAGE OF THE "NORMANS" WERE MIXED WITH ROMANTIC PEOPLE OF FRANCE?
The Saxons or Saxon people were a confederation of Old Germanic tribes. Their modern-day descendants in northern Germany are considered ethnic Germans; those in the eastern Netherlands are considered to be ethnic Dutch; and those in southern England ethnic English. Their earliest known area of settlement is Northern Albingia, an area approximately that of modern Holstein.
Saxons participated in the Germanic settlement of Britain during and after the 5th century. It is unknown how many migrated from the continent to Britain though estimates for the total number of Germanic settlers vary between 10,000-200,000.[1] Over the past two centuries or so, many continental Saxons settled other parts of the world, especially in North America, Australia, South Africa, and in areas of the former Soviet Union, where some communities still maintain parts of their cultural and linguistic heritage, often under the umbrella categories “German” and “Dutch”.
The Normans were the people who gave their names to Normandy, a region in northern France. They were the descendants of the original Viking conquerors of the territory and the native population of mostly Frankish and Gallo-Roman stock. Their identity first emerged in the first half of the tenth century and gradually evolved over the succeeding centuries until they disappeared as an ethnic group in the early thirteenth century. The name "Normans" is derived from "Northmen" or "Norsemen", after the Vikings from Scandinavia who founded Normandy (Northmannia in its original Latin).
They played a major political, military, and cultural role in medieval Europe and even the Near East. They were famed for the martial spirit and for their Christian piety. They quickly adopted the Romance language of the land they settled in, their dialect becoming known as Norman, an important literary language. The Duchy of Normandy which they formed by treaty with the French crown was one of the great large fiefs of medieval France. The Normans are famed both for their culture, such as their unique Romanesque architecture and their musical traditions, as well as for the military accomplishments and innovations. Norman adventurers established a kingdom in Sicily and southern Italy by conquest and a Norman expedition on behalf of their duke led to the Norman Conquest of England. Norman influence spread from these new centres to the Crusader States in the Near East and to Ireland, Scotland, and Wales in the British Isles.
In Russian historiography, the term "Norman" is often used for the Varangians, as for example in the term "Normanist theory". In French historiography, too, the term is often applied to the various Viking groups which raided France in the ninth century before settling down to found Normandy.

Walt the Markland and UK reenactments of Hastings are as far apart as you may think in some ways. The UK has the clear lead in numbers and the location, reenacting on the battlefield rather than some University of Maryland lawn, but the level of kit was pretty close in accuracy.Most of the both sides in the UK are vikings of various levels of gear, but few are trying to do the actual kit of Normans or Saxons of the day. The mounted guys are great, but the Norman foot is appalling… I have some photos from the couple of UK ones I attended here . I went to many a Markland Hastings, ran a few of them, and I would say the US did a pretty good job given what they had to work with.
