Yes, I truly know. It’s just so much fun to make light of it all — especially if you’re as scrambled as most of us are here in the States. I understand that England didn’t actually become “England” until the Anglos came in with that brat William. My mother’s side of the family came from all the places anyone could come from on the islands — Scotland/Ireland and Wales, including some who pushed in with William. Assume there must be a Roman or two in the wood pile as well. I’m such an amalgam of the UK, I can’t imagine WHAT I truly am. Pure German on my father’s side. Combine that with Cherokee and my, my I’m a mess. A regular patchwork quilt. The kid in this contest must be another amalgam. That’s were this whole thing started. Definitely can’t see the Welsh genes.
The English language is quite literally the result of efforts by Norman soldiers to pick up Saxon/English barmaids.
Actually, the "English" (Angles, Saxons, Jute4s) invaded in the 400s/500s. A great many Norse came into Britain in the 800s/900s and up to 1066, when William (genetically mostly Norse, culturally entirely French) conquered the country.
