Cover art for Invaders lyrics by Iron Maiden

The song is about the Norman conquest of England in 1066 (yes "Norman" is correct). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Conquest

hornpout you're not so smart.

The Normans came from present day Northern France and conquered England in 1066. "Invaders" is about the Vikings raiding the British Islands a couple of centuries before that.

The lyrics clearly mention their longboats, their name "vikings", and where they come from "Norsemen". Normans are not Norsemen lol

William the Conqueror was French and his invasion in 1066 was a turning point in British history. Still it's not what "Invaders" is about.
