What happened when rollo the viking settled in Normandy?
Rollo of Normandy was a Viking. The better question is this: When did Rollo the Viking become Rollo of Normandy? Normandy was the title of the land granted to Rollo and his raiders after they threatened to sack Paris. The king of France, out of fear, gave the Viking raiders a piece of land on the northern coasts (called Nova Britannia at the time) that would later be called Normandy.
Normandy means "Land of the North (or Norse) Man," i.e., the Vikings. Hope this helps!

Well in my opinion, MetaKnight should not be banned. Each character in brawl has their own unique abilities. All characters have a chance of defeating one another. This game is based more on the skill of the player rather than the priority of a characters attacks. Many people think that MetaKnight is really unfair and cheap, but if you look at the disadvantages of him, its really not that cheap. MetaKnight may have many high priority attacks, but he is one of the lightest characters in the game, he has a very slow front smash, and fairly weak A-Attacks. Characters such as Ike, Donkey Kong, and Bowser can easily kill MetaKnight in just a few hits. Metaknight should not be banned, since all characters has its down sides and advantages. Just remember, there's always a chance for any character to beat another character. I'm also a MetaKnight player, and on wi-fi there's always that same Mario player who is really good, and usually beats me. Its all about skill, not as much about the priority, though it still is a factor.

Was the people courageous in D-DAY?
Yes the men of the D Day invasion of Normandy were brave, scared out of their minds, but brave enough to get off the boat, off the planes and behind enemy lines. There were dozens of D days in the Pacific. The more islands they invaded the worst they got. So they were really brave to invade places they had never seen, hear of or knew the geology of. They were brave to fight against the mighty Japanese Warriors. They were extremely well trained warriors because they were trained from the time they were eight and nine years old. The German's were good MODERN warriors who had a lot of experience under their belt. So when our Allied Warriors went against their foe they had to be courageous enough to go against their own fear to fight against well trained foes. The allies won because Adolf Hitler had been in charge and he was a military fool (German's stated that, not me) and because we made it impossible for the Japanese and German's to be able to win.
