The Normans almost won the Hundred Years War.  We did well in the early years.  We raised the first standing armies since the fall of Rome.  We researched new ways to fight, new weapons and new strategies.  We advanced.  But so did the French.  They united as a people and drove us out of the Normandy coast that had been our home for centuries.  And so England became our home in every way that mattered.
