    What about the most famous Norman of them all?

    Would that be Strongbow or Norman Wisdom?

    or maybe William of Normandy?

    At a guess, how many Irish people are of partial Norman descent.

    All of them.

    If someone lived in Europe a thousand years ago and has living descendants, it is a near certainty that they are a direct ancestor of all living Europeans.
