True, but only part of the truth. The Normans (North Men) were in that part of France because in earlier generations Vikings (Norsemen = North men) had conquered it.
Thus, you later have a french colony in North America named Quebec, which can be traced to the Norse word for River (After the St. Lawrence River).
Yes, but keep in mind that Normandy was named for the Norsemen from Norway who settled there over 1,000 years ago. And that in 1066 the Normans also took over in England, and their descendants comprise much of the aristocracy of Great Britain. Add to that the fact that settlers from Great Britain colonized the part of North America that later became the United States, and you've got the top two nations of the coalition of the willing tied up in it.
Just an anti-western conspiracy, that's all. The US and UK are the primary infidels, but Norway started it all.
