not sure what to call this

A furore normannorum libera nos domine ("From the fury of the Northmen deliver us, O Lord!")


Northmen was famously used in the prayer A furore normannorum libera nos domine ("From the fury of the Northmen deliver us, O Lord!"), doubtfully attributed to monks of the English monasteries plundered by Viking raids in the 8th and 9th centuries.

Northmen was term used to describe norse men

I'm not sure what your question is or if you were jus poitning out something cool. Also your description reads funny and I think you meant 'undoubtedly' rather than 'doubtfully.'

Just something i found in wikipedia and thought i would share since it has to do with guild lore. As far as doubtfulley/undoubtedly that is a copy/paste from wikipedia.

That may be the first thing I've ever felt convicted to change on wiki.

lol.

maybe they ment that they are doubtful of the monks ownership of the phrase. does what i just typed make anysense?

Yes, the semantics make sense, but the context is still wrong. Why offer a surefire explanation of what is not the phrase's origin without offering a contra possibility of what the actual origin is.

It would be like saying: "Age of Conan is a game not made by bioware." with no reference to what the game is and who made it.
