The English language is an amalgamation of the peoples who came from or fought over parts of the British Isles, beginning with ancient Celts, to the Romans, to the Germanic Angles and then the Germanic Saxons, and then the Norse, and lastly the Normans (Franco-Norse).
Parts of each remain in the modern English language.
Among the words that remain that have a distinct Norse origin, the majority are found to be of the farm and flora and fauna - not war and battle and victory and defeat.
No surprise - the “victors” always write the history and shape popular conceptions of it.
