Wulfstan sounds pretty rad, not going to lie.
Edit: but it seems far too awesome for mundane life. "Make sure you send those TPS reports to Wulfstan, the Destroyer of Gauls, down in accounting."
TPS reports mentioned!?
The English language would be a lot less annoying if it wasn't for the N*rmans.
Wdym so many britains accept with ease their invasion by the Fr*nch
Have you seen the food they had?
I like the lore that French food sucked until Catherine de Medici married the crown Prince of France and brought an entourage of cooks from Florence. It's greatly overstated by Italians, but it's still funny.
History of food is interesting, it doesn't go in a straight line from 'hey we can make fire' to a renowned cuisine in a straight line obviously. Also the English food we all joke about obviously differs from the food the royals have now and then.
Of course more of the softie south thinks the Norman Invasion was a good thing: it further centralised power in London and practically cemented it's place as the centre of English and therefore, by imperial extension, British politics.
