Was William of normany crowned king of England or Normandy?
William was crowned king of England. He couldn't be king of Normandy because it was, and still is, part of France; and the king of France would not have allowed that.
Why did William not intergrate normany and England?
When William invaded England and became its king he was also the Duke of Normandy. Normandy is, and was, part of France and as duke he was, in theory, a servant of the King of France. Integrating England and Normandy would either mean England was part of Normandy and therefore part of France, or Normandy was part of England, which would not have gone down well with the King of France who, in theory, own it.

William "The Conqueror" led an invasion of England by the Normans, the Saxon tribes that were settled in Normandy, in what is nowadays France.

The reason given by William in invading his fellow Saxons was the previous king, Canute 1, had bequeathed the throne to him, but this was ignored by Harold.
Why didn't Robert son of William I become King?
King William I of England (William the Conqueror) had been king of England since his victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He had previously been, and still was, Duke of Normandy - the North Western part of France. He had four sons, Robert born around 1051, Richard, born about 1055,William born around 1056 and Henry, born about 1068. He also had a daughter, Adela, born about 1062, and his second son, Richard died in 1081. It would have been the custom for the oldest son, Robert, to inherit the crown of England on his father's death but King William decreed on his deathbed in 1087, that Robert would become Duke of Normandy and his second son, William would become King of England. William II became king in 1087 and was succeeded by his younger brother, Henry I in 1100. Henry reigned until his own death in 1135.
Is William the Conqueror considered English?
No, William was not English even though he became King of England. William the Conqueror was born in Normandy. Normandy was essentially its own country at the time that William was born. A great deal of Normandy had been given to the Norsemen who were marauding on the northern coasts of France. King Charles negotiated a deal for land with the Vikings to put an end to their predations and obtain their submission. William the Conqueror descended from the Vikings who settled in Normandy. He was the great grandson of Hrolf Ganger, (Rollo, who later became Christian and changed his name to Robert). Rollo was the self-titled King of Normandy. The Norse both brought their wives with them and intermarried with the local population. At any rate, William became the Duke of Normandy. He was related by blood to the Anglo-Saxon king of England on his Norse side and had been assured that England would become his upon the death of the current king because of that blood tie. That didn't come to fruition and England went to King Harald. William later invaded England to claim the throne; and, in the Battle of Hastings, King Harald fell. William then became the King of England and he displaced most of the English barons with Norman nobles who had supported and followed him to England. For a couple of generations, Normandy and England were one kingdom, divided by the British Channel. Eventually, the King Phillip of France saw his opportunity and wrested Normandy from England, making it a part of France until this day. History books describe William the Conqueror as a Norman (which comes from Normandy).
