Came to English notice when?[edit]

I'm afraid you are going to need a source for the claim made in the article that the bocage form of the word came to English notice during the second world war. In twelfth century France a cleric from Jersey called Master Wace wrote a narrative poem called Roman de Rou (Romance of Rollo) a history of the dukes of Normandy. This is one of the principle written sources for details of the Norman Conquest and the Battle of Hastings. In describing preparations for the Battle of Mortemer (1054) he says that King Henry drew his men from far and wide, from (a long list of named towns), and that they were men, "of the bocage and of the plain".

Words and phrases category[edit]

Category:Words and phrases is a container cat (subcats only), but I could not find a subcategory for Norman words, so am unsure what subcat is appropriate for this. Slivicon (talk) 00:14, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
