Yeah, but what about Asterix then!??

[Alneyan]

I have never heard of someone believing Asterix is true, the explanation is easy enough: do you believe a French would have helped another English? No, that's impossible, France would have attacked England along with Caesar then! Still, Asterix helps England to repel a roman offensive. Why would a French do that is an open question.

Wrong and wrong.

Because Asterix knew that we had captured Maurice Chevalier and Sacha Distel and were threatening to give them back to you if you did not help us!!

Silly question.
Of course only an english cannot understand that if Asterix had not stopped the roman invasion, then there would have had no glory left for Guillaume Le Batard in his conquest of UK.

*Cough* You do know I am French UE, don't you? *Cough* But your explanation would require the use of Temporal devices in order to know William the Conqueror would conquer England eleven centuries later.

Therefore, France must master the field of Temporal Studies, at least to a certain extent. Either that, or France would hate to see another country conquering England, as this is their privilege. (Or rather, *attempting* to do so that is. )

Your own hypothetis Growltigger also implies the use of some Temporal device, comforting one of the possibilities. Then you may want to ask why France did not use its Temporal knowledge during other battles, for such an asset would have meant victory. It was, obviously, to keep this secret... erh secret. *Grumbles, that explanation is really lame. But it will have to do*

It is absolutely obvious that the temporal device was lost by Panoramix on his death. For ignoring such evidence, you deserve to be English.
