Wrong. The Normans were not French at all. They were originally a tribe of Viking raiders. The French actually had a good record militarily between the time of Cardinal Richileu and the defeat of Napolean. Broken by that huge idiot Louis XIV who was spared the English capturing Paris only by Duke Churchill's being falsely accused of corruption by political enemies.

Interesting post. I posted something about Charles the Hammer but I was unsure if the "Franks" would be considered "French". Any info would be appreciated.
