War was known in Normandy all the way back to the roman times. We know Julius Caesar came in and famously defeated All of Gaul, as it was called then. The war lasted from 58BC-50BC (BC dates go backwards). Julius Caesar himself gives the best known details of the war in his own book Commentarii de Bello Gallico.
