It's not that the Norse didn't have their impact on the names and words, but to put it in terms relating to my own culture, it would be like highlighting the French, but ignoring the Belgic tribes, Romans, Franks, Spanish, Rhinelanders, Austrians, Hollanders and so on. Going back to the roots of a term is simply the most consistent approach to my mind.I think you have your principles and I respect that - you like looking at the first incarnations of something. Maybe it’s my Britishness or maybe I am just looking at the fact that it would simply not be called York today if it were not for a bunch of tenacious seafaring northerners.
