[edit] The beginning

I have started this page because I believe that the English Wikipedia has inadequate information on the history of this region. I could only find a few paragraphs at the Normandy article and loose factoids scattered about the various related articles. When I took a look at the French Wikipédie, I found an excellent article on this subject. My aim is to translate this article into English. So far I have finished work on translating the first paragraph, and I intend to follow up with some more information. My skills as a translator are rather questionable, because I have only been studying French for a few months. I expect to make many errors, so I will be quite grateful for any proofreading or assistance with the translation that I recieve. Galanskov 00:21, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
