The Normans never left. They were gradually absorbed into the English, Scots, Welsh and Irish populations, mainly as aristocratic landowning nobility. Anyone with surnames such as Mandeville, Montfort, Lacy, de Vere, Bruce, Mowbray, Percy, Fossard, Stuteville, Baliol and many more are descended directly or indirectly from Norman knights.
After the Norman Conquest of 1066, the English language saw an influx of French vocabulary, leading to the development of Middle English. Over time, English transformed into Modern English, with influences from Latin, Greek, and other languages. This evolution resulted in a language with a diverse vocabulary and complex grammar structure.
