No. The historical record is quite clear on this issue. Separatists who use blood and bullets usually win or die trying. Separatists who use only arguments and civility always get nice pensions.

Good gosh this is a silly assertion. I'd wager that 100% of 14th century Earls of England were Anglo-Normans (I can't think of any exceptions).
Ergo, your argument here is utterly vacuous and silly.
Indeed, Robert Le Bru was with the majority of the Scottish nobility at that time - Anglo-Normans.
Btw, you do understand that the term "Anglo-Norman" specifically applies to those of Norman ancestry who were born in England or married English? This applies to Robert Le Bru.
L'esperance!
