You think the Angles or the Saxons didn’t get here by boat? Tbf at that point Guillaume du Normandy was only nominally French. Most of the Norman’s and their culture owed more to what we think of as Vikings than it did to France.

Joking aside I think the answer is yes. Gb is a small island with a long history of being invaded successfully or otherwise. The idea that wouldn’t build a large navy and then use that to invade others isn’t that viable.

It’s unlikely the events of 1066 would have have any standing on the empire. It arguably owes more to the individual revolution which happened at the start of the empire building than it does to an invasion 700 years previous.
