It's not really a French name. Been in English for hundreds of years (longer than French has existed) with different spelling and pronunciation.

>Louis (UK: /ˈluːi/ or US: /ˈluːJs/; French pronunciation: [lwi]) is the French form of the Old Frankish given name Chlodowig (Modern German: Ludwig) and one of two English forms, the other being Lewis (/ˈluːJs/). The Frankish name is composed of the words for "fame" (hlōd) and "warrior" (wīg) which may be translated to famous warrior or "famous in battle".

they're Normans at heart

Because they aren't British, they're N*rman (they come from a snownigger tribe who settled in Northern France and adopted the French language).

So Brits are cuckolds?

What happened to the native royal family?

I'd still lick them.

Brits are hybrids of Anglo-Saxons, Jutes, Scandinavians, Norse, Flemish, Frisians, Britons, Picts, Gaels, Romans, etc.

Edward the Confessor died in 1066 without leaving an heir, at which point Harold Godwinson (Edward's brother-in-law) was chosen to succeed him.

The Norwegian King Harald Hardrada decided to try claiming the throne later the same year, but was defeated and killed in the Battle of Stamford Bridge on the 25 September (a battle which left some 5000 English soldiers dead). William the Bastard, Duke of Normandy, claimed that Edward the Confessor had promised him the throne and also invaded, landing in England just 3 days after the Battle of Stamford Bridge, forcing the English army to march from the North of England down to the far South to confront his invasion.

When the English army arrived, it found itself quite outnumbered, but managed to withstand Norman efforts to break its lines anyway. The Normans then pretended to flee, but turned around and renewed their attack. At some point Harold Godwinson was slain in the fighting which brought about the flight and defeat of the English army.

In the aftermath, many objected to William the Bastard's rule over England, and to cement his authority he committed a genocide against the inhabitants of Northern England.
