Shakespeare is just another white racist and France wants the Statute

be properly welcomed. How much more evidence do you need of the demise
of Western civilization?  The only active religion in Europe is Muslim
and perhaps some Satanic cults.

If by "Franks" you mean "Normans," yes.

 
I'm almost certain that Charlemagne, who was a Frank and the ruler of
Franks and subjected peoples, preceded Shakespeare.
 
So, yes, the Franks (immigrant-invaders) invaded (and overran)
present-day France before Shakespeare's time.
 
Only they did it for real (an actual armed attack). The displaced
persons more recently arrived in France just came to escape their
homelands. Calling them "immigrant-invaders" is, at best, a political
act and, at worst, a racist one.

I was a bit confused. I thought the target country being "invaded" was
Britain.

I suppose either is possible, although Britain was taken over after
Hastings by Normans (North-men, ie, Scandinavians), not by Franks (a
German tribe). The peasants were neither.
