Hastings

Today is the anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, the beginning of a series of atrocities against my people. There are few out there who still harbor bitterness over this, but we few who do, think this is a pretty crappy day overall.

Your people...you mean horses? Yeah, that invention of the stirrup ensured that you would be enslaved for eternity. Damn the Normans and their technologies of control!

True, it wasn't a sea change, but until 1348, there was some significant discrimination against the Saxons. Damn French vikings.
