your ancestors should have stopped living since

If Hardråde had won at Stamford, you would be speaking some version of Icelandic today. The world would still be a craphole.

Anglo-Saxon England was a self-contained world, one that looked inward rather than outward. Harold never expressed an interest in Denmark even though both he and his predecessor (Edward) had a stronger claim than Magnus. When Harold lost at Hastings it spelled the end of England's isolation, and it's why you're speaking any version of English at all.
