haven't seen anything in this video about the anglo-saxon nobility being absorbed into the normans.  the video actually talks about anglo saxon lords rebelling and being defeated and being replaced by norman lords.  in fact it says at 15:45 'the ruling elite were almost exclusively norman, speaking norman french and practising norman customs.'  listening to the next part i see where you got it from. it goes on to talk about the development of middle english and the eventual intermarriage.  the english elite continued to speak french for hundreds of years after the norman conquest, deep through the hundred years war. the point is that the class system was developed from the norman class and that, spiritually, the ruling class have their roots in that kind of culture.    ence_of_french_on_english source: reading orwell the lion and the unicorn.
