Norman Seal (One of my family seals)
The Normans (adapted from the name "Northmen" or "Norsemen") were a people who colonized Normandy, conquered England, and played a major political, military and cultural role in the northern and Mediterranean parts of medieval Europe for centuries. Their most famous achievement was the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. Originally they derived from the indigenous population of Neustria and Vikings originating in Scandinavia.
