[edit] Angleterre

My username, "angleterre," means "England" in French. It's a bit of a paradox to have my username as the name of the country I love in the language of their longstanding rival, but England's history has long been intertwined with France. In fact, the current English language has arisen from a mixture of Old English and French, due to the Norman conquest of 1066. William of Normandy, the duke of a region in northern France, led the last successful conquest of the English land in this year. William the Conqueror wasn't the first English king, but he is considered to be one of the most influential figures in England's past.

And that's it for today's history lesson!

[edit] Background

I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. I'm a relatively new wiki user, so I'm not nearly close to any wiki milestones yet like my 1000th edit. I'm slowly but surely getting there, though!
