I’m currently reading Edmond Demolins’ Anglo Saxon Superiority and the amount of autism in the introduction alone makes me look like a complete normie. Inspiring!

Here are some amazing passages on how the Norman and the Saxon became one, forming the bedrock of the now global Anglo society that we have built:

ā€œThe Normans were but improved Danes; having been perfected by the feudal regime whose military hierarchy they had adopted in Normandy. They took advantage of the departure of the Danish monarchy in England to invade England with William the Conqueror.ā€

ā€œHaving put up a short resistance, the Saxons accepted the Norman monarchy, as they had accepted the Danish monarchy, asking but to be left to work in peace. Therefore, they went on acting as practical men of business. They were ever willing to renounce the exercise of power, provided they were guaranteed what they considered the greatest boon obtainable - independence in in private life; provided, also, they had assurance of the public peaceā€

ā€œUnfortunately, the Normans did not long respect the independence of the Saxons, the bands of adventurers recruited by William from different parts of Normandy and Francia had but one end in view: to have fiefs granted to them, not in order to cultivate the land, but to exploit the population. The Domesday Book tells us with what care they surveyed and registered all landed property in England, shared it among themselves and generally left the Saxons on the soil to pay them taxes and tithes.

Thus began, between Normans and Saxons, a struggle which lasted several centuries; the former striving to obtain complete domination and a thorough command of Saxon resources, the latter endeavouring to secure independence in their private lives. ā€œ

ā€œThe Saxons claimed five fundamental rights:

1. That of bequeathing their property to their descendants without control

2. To be taxed within the limit of their ability to pay

3. To receive payment for any compulsory work they were made to do

4. To be left to transact business amongst themselves according their own old customs

5. That they should be left the exercise of justice even towards any of their fellows against whom a Norman preferred any complaint.

Far from recognizing these rights, the Norman Kings aimed to establish in England an autocratic monarchy whose powerful authority should be obeyed by all in the land - Norman nobles as well as Saxon peasants.ā€

ā€œOnce more, as when the Danes had come before, England was saved by the Saxon farmer standing immovable over his furrows and determined to preserve his common law, his ancient rights and customs. Then took place an extraordinary phenomenon, seeing their privileges threatened, the Norman nobles found it necessary to ally themselves to the condemned and exploited Saxons. From this alliance was evolved a hybrid, namely, The Magna Carta.ā€

ā€œThe Magna Carta recognized both the Saxon common law and the independence of the Norman nobles. This took place in 1215 and was signed by King John Lackland.

The Saxons were at least thus rid of one danger: autocracy.

Magna Carta established a whole system of legal guarantees against the King. The nobility brought together its Council of twenty-five Lords; Saxon tradition had its parliament, and - more to the Saxons , the rural estates were made undistrainable, individuals were declared inviolable, justice was ordained to be rendered by peers, even in capital cases, which is the idea of a Saxon jury.

Such was the perseverance and tenacity with which these indomitable peasants remained faithful to their social principles and brought in their triumph.ā€

ā€œThey triumphed so well that the Norman lords were compelled to look to the Saxons for strength to act. The power of private life alone had made them once more conquer. The Saxon people had resumed their rank, and re-established self government.

Moreover, they gradually absorbed the Norman nobility. The Norman’s, impoverished by continual civil wars, were but too happy to marry the daughters of Saxons made rich by agriculture. ā€œ

ā€œSaxon predominance became so complete that there was soon but one language - the Saxon language, and one law - the Saxon common law.

The Saxon was triumphing all along the line, demonstrating, even at that epoch, the undeniable superiority of social over political power.

Since then, the Celtic and Norman elements are gradually being absorbed by the Anglo Saxon element. Nowadays, owing to the same causes, the Anglo Saxon not only predominates in England, but throughout the whole world.ā€

So you see my friends: I will always say that my source of pride in having this Norman lineage is that my forbears took part in the project of building a functional, post conquest kingdom to an empire and taking it worldwide.

America and Canada wouldn’t be what they are without this foundational process occurring.

Red, white and blue flags are now all over the world and our tongue is spoken underneath it while our common law keeps this together. It won’t stay that way unless we remember who we are and start to fight for what we’ve built through the centuries.
