>Did the Normans remain culturally different from other French people for long after William.Of course, France had huge cultural diversity up until the French revolutions and groups like the Occitanians, Bretons, Normans & Vendee to name a few.
What one thinks of when they think “France” is the Parisian mono-culture.
Old France was truely different.
However by the time of William the Normans did speak I dialect of Frankish rather than a Nordic language.
So was England conquered by a Frenchmen??
Does it matter?
It WAS conquered by Normans, wether Normans are French is largely irrelevant. If you do count them as French, William was still a Chad.
