On behalf of the settlement, the Vikings converted into Christians and pledged that they will protect the north coast from other Viking raiders. These Norsemen developed their language from Norse and French to Norman language. In 1002 AD the King of England decided to settle with the sister of Duke of Normandy.

Bayeux Tapestry experience letter: The death of Harold My heart is heavy, King Harold is dead. No doubt the news has already reached you.
