The British kingdom was taken over by all sorts of people.
No, it wasn't;
The Kingdom of Great Britain only existed from 1707 to 1801(when it became the UK) and Kingdom of England itself only existed since the year 927.
The House of Hanover were of German descent who succeeded the House of Stuart as kings of Great Britain in 1714, 7 years after Great Britain gained sovereignty.
The Normans are the reason why modern English has some weird French stuff in it.
No, they aren't;
The Normans who invaded England from Normandy, France in 11th century
were VIKINGS from ...Norway...who spoke ...Norwegian
English is a West Germanic language derived from Indo-European languages.
French is a Romance language derived from Vulgar Latin.
Not only did the Norwegians get pushed out of England in just 10 years
(hardly enough time to change the language of people who never met them)
they got bred-out of France by actual French people and now people in
Normandy speak French again. However being in close proximity, French people
FROM FRANCE did trade with those living where ENgland is now and certain terms
were adopted. "Normans" had nothing to do with it; they weren't French.
What Normans from Norway living in France (named Normandy for a reason)
DID do is establish The Flag of England (red cross, white background)
based on the flag of Norway (black cross, red background) which is a
Scandinavian Cross design like Denmark's and Sweden's too, the other
Scandinavian countries.
