The French probably felt more affection for William of Normandy than the people of England given that he conquered England. He may have also sparked resentment from the English because his rule led to a number of wars within their country.
William of Normandy, later known as William the Conqueror, might have been viewed differently by the people of France and England due to his successful conquest of England in 1066. The people of France may have seen him as a skilled and powerful leader who expanded their influence, while the people of England may have initially viewed him as a foreign invader. Over time, however, William's reign brought stability and centralized control to England, leading to his acceptance as a legitimate ruler by many English subjects.
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.
