Then they settled and started fucking eachother and consequentially mixed cultures. Humanity!

Maybe that's more "The UK in a NUTshell." than France, idk.

Not necessarily. From a hostile source, the English chronicler John of Wallingford:

“The Danes made themselves too acceptable to English women by their elegant manners and their care of their person. They combed their hair every day, bathed every Saturday, and even changed their garments often. They set off their persons by many such frivolous devices. In this manner, they laid siege to the virtue of the married women, and persuaded the daughters, even of the nobles to be their concubines.”
