家园 您好像把诺曼人和撒克逊人弄混了。

准确地说诺曼人的上层来自于维京人,下层与撒克逊人同源,三者同属古日耳曼人。

看司各特的小说ivanhoe时记得他提到过这个问题。那本书就是以诺曼人征服撒克逊人后发生的事情作背景的。

以下来自wiki:

诺曼人:

The Normans were a people from medieval northern France, deriving to a large extent their aristocratic origins from Scandinavia (the name is adapted from the name "Northmen" or "Norsemen").

诺曼人是一个来自于中世纪法国北部的民族。在很大程度上,诺曼人把他们的贵族血统追溯到斯堪的纳维亚(名字“诺曼”源自于“北方人”或“挪威人”)。

……

In fact, by the time of the invasion of England, most "Normans" were derived from the indigenous populations of eastern Brittany and western Flanders, but their lords retained a memory of their own Viking origins. 事实上,当他们入侵英格兰的时候,大多数诺曼人是来自于东布列塔尼和西佛兰德斯的当地人,但他们的领主依然保留着对本身维京起源的记忆。

您说的那个祖先叫Rollo。

Rollo (c. 860 - c. 932) was the founder and first ruler of the Viking principality in what soon became known as Normandy. He is also in some sources known as Robert of Normandy.

Rollo (c. 860 - c. 932) 是维京公国的建立者和第一任统治者,很快公国改名为诺曼底。他在某些来源中被称为诺曼底的罗伯特。

维京人:

Viking, also called Norseman or Northman, refers to a member of the Scandinavian seafaring traders, warriors and pirates ……

维京人,又名“北方人”或“挪威人”,指身为海上贸易商、武士和海盗的斯堪的纳维亚人。

撒克逊人

The Saxons or Saxon people were a confederation of Old Germanic tribes whose modern-day descendants in northern Germany are considered ethnic Germans while those in the eastern Netherlands are considered ethnic Dutch, those in modern Normandy ethnic French, and those in southern England ethnic English.

撒克逊人是一个古代德意志各部落的联盟。如今它的后裔分布在德国北部、荷兰东部、诺曼底和英格兰南部,从民族成分上分别属于德国人、荷兰人、法国人和英国人。
