Absolument dégoûtant

That’s better

France actually really screwed this up back in the day, they turned a French dynastic dispute into a national war of "liberation" against England and consigned themselves to eventual decay / decline
If the England branch won this combo French speaking nation would be a global hyper power colonising the stars right now

>Rouen
Angevin means "from Anjou" whose capital is Angers.

>Angevina
The English cuck who made this doesn't even know Angers exists.
Normans didn't kill enough.

You're implying that after Edward III grandson of Philippe IV, it was about a dynastic dispute.
Pro tip: the dynastic thing was just an excuse after Edward.

>>216458235
France ended up as the only monarchy in Europe (outside of the HRE) to not get ruled by a foreign dynasty. because the 100y war (and before that the Plantagenêt-Capétien conflict) showed us the dangers of letting foreigners with foreign interests and alliances ruling even parts of your kingdom.

>>216458280
Rouen is a better town though.

Should just be called the dual monarchy like my paradox mods

charlemagne was literally a german and Napeleon was Corsican

>>216459741
where do you think Angles and Saxon came from, eh?

>>216459847
Heaven itself

>French dynastic dispute
Retarded meme. No one saw the Plantagenet as French. They were undeniably Englishmen by the 14th century. They even started calling their dynasty Plantagenet (after the nickname of Geoffrey V of Anjou) to detach themselves from their Angevin origins. The English kings may have claimed ancestry from William and Henry II but they were clearly foreign conquerors and this was a war of conquest the same way 1066 was.

>>216459847
they were continentals once

>>216459938
they still spoke a language very close to Northern French though.

>>216458408
The Bourbons were navarreans and Napocuck was 10000% spaghet

>The Bourbons were navarreans
no they weren't you stupid. Henri IV's father became King of Navarre by marriage and Henri IV himself pretty much abandoned Navarre when he was called to the French throne by direct lineage.

Burgundians, Normans and many Britons also spoke French and yet didn't see themselves as French, because they weren't. Retrospectively attributing identity on a people based on the language they spoke is retarded.

>>216461971
I know, but what I meant is that they weren't as foreign as say Vikings.

>chroniclers throughout the 14th and 15th centuries describe war between 'the english' and 'the french'
>for half-a-millennium thereafter, frenchmen and englishmen speak of anglo-french war

>suddenly in the 21st century of 'multiculturalism' and 'diversity' this fascinating period of english history is now a 'french civil war'
