Norman, Breton, Angevin, clamored for possession: families of peasants crossed the sea, expecting, in right of their French tongue, to be gentry at once, and lords of the churl Saxons; while the Saxons, fully conscious of their own nobility, and possessors of the soil for five hundred years, derided them in such rhymes as these: "William de Coningsby Came out of Brittany With his wife Tiffany, And his maid Manfas, And his dog Hardigras."
