LOL, you cannot even distinguish the difference between Britain and England!
And while we are talking about your fail, you do realise that the French, Norse, Celts (not that they ever existed as Celts anyway) and Germans were all branches of the same root tribe?
The Druids were an indigenous religious order - not an invading tribe!
Read up on the real Braveheart and you'll see that it was mainly a scot on scot fight, not what Hollywood tells you is history.
The French imposed their language on the English court? LOL! You have failed on every single point you tried to make!
Your post was very funny indeed. Gave me a right chuckle.

OK, let's put aside the fact that an AMERICAN knows more about BRITISH history than a Brit.....England was 'conquered' MANY times (I did not say "invaded many times"). Rome, the Celts and Vikings all 'conquered' (invaded) before 1066, and after 1066 the landscape of England changed dramatically in the ways I mentioned before.
(And do your research about how FRENCH was the official language of the BRITISH Roayl court for over 200 years).
And whether this or that ethnicity were part of an original 'root tribe' is meaningless. Vikings and Germans and French and so on, who cares if they shared similar origins? They came to England from different lands, settled there, meshed with the local population, and the entire bloody island morphed into what we have today.
All fine well and good, history is an interesting melting pot. What this thread is about TODAY is how Brits go apeshit over their Royals, who are clearly from Germanic descent and had to change their bloody name to a made-up 'Windsor' so the British population wouldn't revolt against them during WWI while they were fighting their German cousins.
It's all fucking funny to me, that's all. Blah blah.
