I am a part of the Z36 branch of the R1b-U152 Y-Haplogroup, and I'm 99% certain that my paternal ancestry is British in nature. As U152's prevalence in the British Isles is markedly lower than that of S21's or L21's, I've grown curious at how exactly my paternal family would have gotten to Britain, and more so when. I've been thinking that the most likely scenario would have been that my paternal ancestor was a Frenchman that came over during the Norman period. My surname is most likely French in origin, though there are theories that it could also be Welsh. Are there any other historical periods that you think are more likely than this?
