I was told the family history of the Churchill’s originated about that time. I really should verify this but a cousin went to somerset house 20 some odd years ago to do some research on the family tree. I was told the genesis was a French knight who was granted land in England after a victory in about this era. Shortly after that the family tree diverged to my fathers side and Winston’s side! Normally I would wish for English victories all the time but this once has a personal connection. Had the Saxons won there might never have been a Winston Churchill….or me!
Long live William!
I know more good things came of the invasion, than bad ones.
I was being naughty.
