Ummmm, could the Normans be considered French ????
History was never my strong point Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy
Had a look anyway at Google, see what you mean mate though it did the mention the Normans, possibly their only victory, unfortunately it was over us Sad Sad Sad

re: The French

Normans wern't THE French though. Bit like the Lancastrians V The House of Yorkshire. (I think)

re: The French

Also it says:

After having their way with the French for 70 years, the Norse are bribed by a French King named Charles the Simple (really!) who gave them Normandy in return for peace. Normans proceed to become just about the only positive military bonus in France's [favour] for next 500 years.
