Langlois - Norman

So the Angles were a Germanic group that settle in Britain in the post-Roman period, having originated in Angeln, a modern district located in what is Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

One of these Angles finds himself living in Normandy. He is referred to as The Englishman or Langlois. One of his descendants leaves Normandy for New France and becomes ancestor to many.
