that it wasn't impossible. IMO, all it would take is certain
percentage of Norse heritage (i.e. one of his grandparents was Norse).
As for the "power" held by the noble born, I would think that there is
a large number of nobles who don't hold any real power except maybe
locally (their home town or region).

Here's some logic for you.
Viking -> Norse
Norman -> Viking
Norman v Ship -> William the Conqueror
I hope I got the symbols right. It's been years since I did logic. :)
Anyway, the point is that the Normans who conquered England and make up
a good percentage of the people AND A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THE NOBILITY
were originally Vikings - who are Norse people.
IOW, a British giant amongst the aristocracy makes PERFECT sense.
