Not if they speak a romance language. Germanic, romance, celtic, etc are just language groups.

>>1870943
The Normans (as in lords and knights) were descendants of Vikings who married the local Frankish, Gallo-Roman, and Breton women. Their Germanic blood was diluted.

And not Welsh, but Scots, English, and Dutch.

The funny thing is, only the ruling and warrior classes of the Duchy of Normandy had Viking ancestry. The everyday inhabitant of Normandy was either of Frankish, Breton, or Gallo-Roman.

If you look at either the Breton codii or the codex of Bayeux you will find many a farmer with a Norman name. Ofcourse this could mean that they adopted the names of the ruling class but it could also mean some Vikings settled as normal farmers

I don't doubt that. Anglo-Danes fled to Normandy after the Wessex counterattack of Alfred the Great, Edward, and Aethelstan. Not to mention a couple of Norse-Gaels.

But by and large, I'm fairly certain that outside the coastal areas, the interior was without Viking descendants.

Genetically, Britons below the old Danelaw are maybe five per cent Germanic (Normans, Vikings, and Saxons being genetically indistinguishable). Above the Danelaw it is damn near forty per cent. Oh, and the Picts didn't get wiped out -- they just intermarried with everybody else until they blended in.

Pic related.

Battle of Patay

French have learned
Anglos never learn

The modern Scots are a blend of 6 peoples:
- Picts
- Britons (from Strathclyde)
- Irish from Dal Riata
- Angles in the Lowlands
- Vikings from the Hebrides, Shetneys and Orkneys
- Normans invited by David I

And yeah, quite a few English are genetically descended from the pre-Roman Britons. The Saxons didn't wipe out the Britons, the Britons just became Saxons. Cerdic, the founder of the West Saxons has a Brythonic name which most likely came from his mother.
