Year of the Normans

This year is the Year of the Normans, we even have the Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum.
Do you have any Norman influences in your life, I suppose language is the main one and is your name Norman?

There are Norman monuments in Southern regions of Italy, especially in the island of Sicily.
They left here a huge architectural, artistic and cultural inheritance.

Possibly, I can’t reveal my heritage on a public forum as in my surname. I’d love to think that I owned most of Sussex :pleading_face:

my uncle Norman used to take me to watch rugby matches :smiley:

And in Greece too, I think I remember some ruins in Kefalonia, Fiskardo.
