Ethnogenesis of Normandy

[Rudel]

How comes Normandy is different from others french areas ethnically speaking

It's not. It just isn't. There's really little for a debate about it, it's a thoroughly moronic notion.

There has been in the past a Norman political and historical identity (to a certain extent, even the tapestry of Bayeux refers to the Norman army as 'the Franks'), which in some ways is ethnogenetic, but there's never truly been a Norman ethnicity in how we think about it now. Certainly not into modern times.

And unrelated to this discussion, yes, William was a bastard indeed. Normans (and I am talking about Norse-descended noblemen, not about your imaginary pseudoethnicity) were the iron fist of Vatican through whole Europe, carrying out pope's will at the expense of local populations (as they did in England, completely replacing and forcing into exile old Anglo-Saxon nobility and priesthood solely because they were not seen as fit by Catholic church).

It's not good duke Guillaume's fault if God hates England.

On Anthrogenica they discussed Cotentin and Dieppe DNA samples and some of them score very Nordic apparently.

As in they cluster with Dutch/English and not other Normans?
