The exact [[origin]] of the [[word]] is [[unknown]], but it may have come from the German bei and gott, or the [[English]] by God. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Camden William Camden] wrote that the Normans were first called bigots, when their Duke Rollo, who when receiving Gisla, daughter of King Charles, in [[marriage]], and with her the investiture of the dukedom, refused to kiss the king's foot in token of subjection - unless the king would hold it out for that specific [[purpose]]. When being urged to do it by those present, Rollo answered hastily "No, by God", whereupon the King, turning about, called him bigot, which then passed from him to his people. This is quite probably [[fiction]]al, as Gisla is unknown in Frankish sources. It is true, however, that the French used the term bigot to [[abuse]] the Normans.

The [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/12th_Century 12th century] Charlotte B J Anglo-Norman author Wace claimed that '''bigot''' was an insult which the French used against the Normans, but it is unclear whether or not this is how it entered the [[English]] [[language]].

According to Egon Friedell, "bigot" is of the same [[root]] as "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visigoth visigoth]". In Vulgar [[Latin]], the initial v [[transformed]] into b (a [[phenomenon]] today encountered in Iberian languages, such as [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish Spanish] and [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese Portuguese]; visi had truncated into bi in Vulgar Latin (a phenomenon common in French and Portuguese).
