>>12889779A Norman knight wrote how that the Anglo Saxon Huscarls were the greatest warriors in the world and they struggled all day often losing 3 or 4 Normans to take one Huscarl.
And they had fought all over the world.
He and his fellow Normans a few years earlier had obliterated the famed Swiss and German elite mercenaries fighting for the Pope, swept them from the field in a few hours, fought all over the mediterranean, eastern europe, byzantium.
And then there he is saying no one came close to how great a warriors the saxon huscarls were.
The Normans brought in the jews and spent the next few centuries stuck between fashioning themselves as some sort of Englishman or having squabbles over how the English were about to tear all their little Norman heads off for trying to sell the country out to jews.
