  1. Well as the Normans were from Danish Viking stock and so are not going to be much different from the Danish Vikings that settled in England. This DNA will also be similar to that of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes that crossed over the sea around 300 years earlier. Thus probably means that any specific genetic markers that identify some as being from these groups of people are few and far between. Whereas in the Scottish Island, Wales and Ireland the native DNA, going back to settlement of these islands, has been fairly settled that new DNA coming in with the Vikings from Norway would be more noticeable compared to similar groups in England or Normandy, where Saxons also settled.

  2.  jonnyneace8928  except Bede got it wrong. Not all of the Anglii left southern Jutland. Many remained behind in what is now Schleswig-Holstein, on the Jutland Peninsula, where there is a small peninsular area is still called Anglia (the land of the Anglii) today and is formed as a triangle drawn roughly from modern Flensburg on the Flensburger Fjord to the city of Schleswig and then to Maasholm, on the Schlei inlet. Their version of English evolved along different lines to that spoken on the other side of the North Sea.
