If Normandy was a French principality then why weren't the Normans French?

The Norwegian word for a Norwegian is Norman. The Vikings, many of whom were were Norwegians, sailed around the north Atlantic, North Sea and English channel for a century or two. Mostly they landed, raped and pillaged for a day or two, then went home with their booty.
One day some of them landed in the part of north-western France that we now call Normandy. They decided to conquer the place and set up shop there. After a bit the French king decided that if you can't beat them, get them to join us. Their chief was created Duke of Normandy by the king and peace broke out.
By the time that Duke William conquered England, the Normans were French - they no longer even spoke Norwegian.
