not that much they were only there a few generations before england

also english have much more direct scandinavian ancestry than norman ancestry

and anglo saxons are genetically identical to norse because they all originated in germany

so the average white english is almost 100% nordic/germanic

No.

Most English don’t have Norman ancestry. I’m fully BBC and I do have Norman ancestry but it’s a long story I don’t wanna go into . But nope more Brits don’t have Norman ancestry but I’d say it’s highest in lowland Scott’s

No.
