They’ve made my reading more interesting. I love reading about people like Majorian, Aurelian, Lucius Licinius Lucullus, and Claudius II. Vespasian was a bad mother fucker too

Honestly though, I’d love to see an Anglo-Saxon counterfactual history where Edward the confessor had heirs and the half Dane Godwinson’s didn’t lead the Anglo-Saxons, with their vernacular literature and highly efficient government, being wiped off the earth by Norman shitheads (though Hastings is where the 1066 comes from in my sobriquet)

Good post, but was just making a Monty Python reference (I’m sure you probably knew that). Normans were the original orcs, I always enjoyed the 1066 ref in your name! Thanks for taking an interest in our history!

Work harder. Not smarter.

Jimjam is a norman orc?

[Patriam1066]

I think he’s an Anglo-Saxon

[Jimjam]

Definitely some kind of troll either way [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If I had to choose I’d probably ask for Anglo Saxon because orcy invaders generally suck irl, but with 1000 years of ancestors who knows.

The orcs did introduce some good record keeping with the Doomsday Book tho!

They all look exactly the same to me. I guess back then u voted by being in Armies and marching all over to die.
