You might have forgotten though that William I was a Norman invader with the Harrying taking place only three years after his initial conquest...

Or that the Northern aristocracy were Danish having fought a war against the English a few years prior. And that they invited the Danish King's armies to assist them who promptly raided and looted the coast.

Hardly Southern bastards vs the North of today, is it?

Besides, records show approximately 75% of the Northern population was killed or fled. It's far more likely you're one of those bastards than a Northern Anglo-Dane of a thousand years ago.
