Genetic history of Cambridgeshire before and after the Black Death

[ecptr]

What's amazing about East Anglia is that in the Early Middle Ages it was overwhelmingly Anglo-Saxon, with none of the French/CWE blood that existed south of the Thames, but by the late Middle Ages (and still to this day) it had the most French/CWE blood in England. Why? Obviously the Normans have something to do with it but I've never heard of East Anglia being a stronghold of Norman settlement, besides it's further away from France than the South. The Flemish weavers in East Anglia must have also had something to do with it, but was their impact really that heavy?

Cambridgeshire in the 7th century would have looked something like that, not Cambridgeshire in the 14th century.

The 14th century Cambridgeshire average is not much different to the modern English average, but shifted towards Belgians (Flemish).
