Basic survey of Normans

Norman (Norsemen or Northmen) belongs to Germanic people. They plundered and explored the countries in continental Europe from their original places of residence such as northern Europe, Jutland and Scandinavia in the 8th-11century. Among them, the Normans who settled in the British Isles, western Europe and southern Europe were quickly assimilated by the local residents, while the Normans who established the principality in northwest France accepted the political systems of France, Christianity and France, established the Normandy Dynasty in England in 1066, and established the Sicilian Kingdom in southern Italy.

Norman was also called "Viking". "Viking" refers to people who invaded countries near the fjord. Some historians also call it "Viking". The name comes from the magnificent "piracy" in the medieval history of Europe.

The Normans designated Vikings and their descendants living in northern France (or the Frankish Kingdom). The Normans established the Principality of Normandy, sent troops to southern Italy, Sicily, England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, and immigrated to these areas for colonization.
