>Normans in Sicily
>>Barely any cultural/linguistic influence. Normans completely abandon French language and culture and adopt Sicilian and even Arabic. Intermarry with Italian nobility. Live in total fear of terroni bvlls and be sporadically subject to peasant revolts and violence. The peasants during the Sicilian Vespers finally kill off the Angevin nobility and give the crown of Sicily to the Aragonese. No real genetic changes besides Palermo and the surrounding towns having an elevated rate of Northern European Y haplogroups.
>Normans in England
>>Completely cucked and transformed Anglo-Saxon culture into something unrecognizable. Ruled over England as a segregated elite only speaking French for centuries making English into a pidgin version of French. Norman surnames and the usage of French loanwords in English are to this day associated with wealth, sophistication, and being upper class. It would be 300 years until a king of England would speak English as his native language again. French nobles and soldiers settle England, changing the genetics so thoroughly that 1/4th-1/3rd of English ancestry can be modeled as Medieval French today.
