The Middle Ages had Orcs?

Actually, yes. The middle ages did have orcs. Orc is Old English for Foreigner, monster or demon and was used to refer to the Normans invading Englaland in 1066.

EDIT- Well, technically that's actually the Dark Ages, not the Middle Ages. But most people don't know the difference anyway, and hey- the Normans were still controlling England during the middle ages anyway.
