Lamond is Norman. Normandy was a disputed region between French and England. Since it's not clear what time Hamlet is set in, we can't say for sure whether it's part of England or of France in the world of Shakespeare's Hamlet. However, at the time Hamlet was written, Normandy was controlled by France, and somebody who was ethnically Norman would have been ethnically French. Thus, when Claudius says
Here was a gentleman of Normandy:--
I've seen myself, and served against, the French,
And they can well on horseback: but this gallant
Had witchcraft in't;
He's probably saying that Lamond was an excellent rider even by French standards.

In what country would you find Hamlet?
Hamlet is the Prince of Denmark (that's a country in Northern Europe, between Germany and Sweden), because his father, also called Hamlet, was the king. However, when Hamlet was away at University in Wittemberg, his father died, and before he got back, his uncle Claudius had proclaimed himself king and had married Hamlet's mother Gertrude. Hamlet gets back to find that the country is preparing for war, and some of his buddies have seen a ghost looking like his father stalking the battlements of the castle. For the rest of the story, watch the play.
What does hamlet learn from the ghosts speech?
