Category talk:Normans

This category is unable to distinguish between Normans and absolutely everybody born in Normandy. --Wetman 08:16, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Does this matter? I notice, for example, that Category:Welsh people doesn't distinguish between Mediaeval Welsh people and Welsh people from other historical periods. Would Natives of Normandy be better, perhaps? Man vyi 07:15, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

The inhabitants of Normandy have no connection with the Norse-people and the Category:Viking Age people. Normans (from Normandy) of scandinavian descent are a minority and this minority was only partially of scandinavian descent, mostly by the father's side, like the Dukes of Normandy. Normans (from Normandy), are mostly of Gallo-Roman descent. Folklore, fantasy, not reality. 88.178.38.7 (talk) 18:33, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
