I'm sorry, but this map of Normandy is not very indicative of where Normandy is in relation to the rest of France. I think it should be swapped with a more appropriate map detailing the location of Normandy, and I would change it myself if I was more wiki- proficient, but I am not. And so I beseech those savvy enough to correct articles to implement this change. Unfortunately, I'm not even sure if this is the right place to voice my querry, so I apologize in advance if this is the incorrect method of requesting map of Normandy changes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.240.174.232 ( talk) 20:09, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

03JAN06 Dear colleagues: my article topic "Threats" is a real part of Normandy as experienced by honest, hard-working, people. You might communicate if you dont want it instead of just deleting. Normandy pretty pictures and culture alone are pointless because there is no culture under fear. Thank you. David Lawn, letters@my-normandy.info.
03JAN06 Thank you very much for taking the trouble to reply and explain. I do not understand "moved, as stated". I shall try to comply such that the relevance is completely clear. Sincerely, David Lawn
04JAN06 Dear anonymous colleague 132.162.208.117: my external link is a real part of Normandy as experienced by honest, hard-working, people.

David Lawn, letters@my-normandy.info.
I have made sure that my external link contains no opinions only facts. If this is unbelievable then I can meet you at the geographical site and show you the facts. Deleting facts about Normandy seems incorrect and I protest formally against that. Normandy is not just a pretty picture place it has very ugly elements - there is culture and its opposite, menace. It is not clear to me why that should remain hidden.
Do normans have scandinavian traits (blond hair) or do they have the more latin-european traits (dark hair)?
The text includes this rather dubious statement - "Normandy was the home of the Normans in the early Middle Ages, the last people to successfully invade England." In 1485, England was so successfully invaded by the Franco-Welsh forces of Henry Tudor that nobody was allowed to say it had happened! ( RJP 23:42, 23 January 2006 (UTC))
What is the story behind the Norman Nordic Cross? Where is it used? When was it invented? Why is it preferred over the two leopard flag? Why is it not preferred? This could probably warrant its own article, but I'm very curious about it. The Jade Knight 20:03, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
The Nordic Cross was originally used by far-right nationalist movements, such as Le Mouvement Normand, wanting to reference Normandy's history and heritage, and somewhat claim the Viking heritage as their own. Although using it is not particularly right-wing nowadays, it will be used by people referring to Normandy as a separate nation with links to the other Scandinavian countries (reinforcing the Viking heritage over the later duchy-period heritage).

There are two theories in who Rollo of Normandy is. And it´s well explained on Rollo of Normandy. So claiming that Gange Hrolf -(from the icelandic saga) WAS the Rollo, is not acceptable. --Comanche cph 14:39, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I believe that the history of Normandy should be a seperate article. The paragraphs on this subject found in this article are good enough for a summary, but they appear to be all the information that can be found on the English Wikipedia. I went to the French Wikipédie and found an excellent article on La Histoire de la Normandie. I have set up a History of Normandy page and am working on translating the French article. I would like to request that anyone here who knows something about the topic help out, and that anyone who can read French help me with the translation (I've only been studying the language for a couple of months).

Image:HNlogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:30, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

why does it say that the animal on the flags of Normady is a leopard when its clearly a lion? to hell with it im changing it anyway!-- Almightysock ( talk) 00:23, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
They were under the Norman dukes domain but not part of, the legally speaking, duchy of Normandy (if they were, then the kingdom of England 1066-1204 was part of the duchy as well). Thus I removed all references of the Islands as part of Normandy. I kept the section which explains why some people still regards the Islands as part of Normandy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Barokunda ( talk • contribs) 11:37, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
This article doesn't mention in what present countries is Normandy. Eugenika ( talk) 17:06, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
It obviously wasn't called Normandy prior to the Northman settlement, so what was it called? Axeman ( talk) 19:42, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
This ecclesiastical province remains to the modern day (with diocese of Hiesmes since united to Sées).
In political terms, in 476, Normandy (Lugdunensis Seconda) was part of the Gallo-Roman successor state of Neustria of Syagrius, before it fell to the Franks a decade or so later. Not sure if they gave it any different name. With the exception of marchlands, the Carolingians did not tolerate large entities, and broke everything up into smallish counties reporting directly to the Frankish monarch, so I don't think Normandy as a whole would have had a distinct name or title in the Frankish hierarchy (although it did remain Lugdunensis Seconda in the Church hierarchy). At the time of the Scandinavian invasion, a "March of Neustria" was created in the 860s, which may have encompassed all or part of the Norman counties. It was only definitely reconstructed as a single entity in 911 for Rollo as the "Duchy of the Normans". Walrasiad ( talk) 21:22, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
The info box states under 'Country' France and United Kingdom (Jersey and Guernsey) yet those islands are crown dependencies. The Wikipedia article on Crown Dependencies states that "they are not part of the United Kingdom" (2nd paragraph). Is there a way to deal with that contradiction? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.220.31.217 ( talk) 07:21, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
Now that Normandy will became a region, there's no sense to keep two different articles about the same thing. Vinukin ( talk) 23:08, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on

I'm still confused as to why British crown dependencies are listed under the "Country" section of the infobox - they are not independent countries. As to their degree of some independence, they are already listed elsewhere in the infobox where appropriate, under "French Departments and British Crown Dependencies."
I feel like it's not correct to list dependencies as countries even if they are independent to some degree. Seungri400 ( talk) 20:01, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
