An illustrated guide to the Normans – the invaders of 1066 who changed English life forever
The 1066 Norman conquest of England, led by William, Duke of Normandy (‘the Conqueror’), was the single greatest political change England has ever seen. The Normans brought with them a new culture, which included law, architectural style and methods, and leisure pursuits. The old aristocracy was stripped of their assets and denounced, and in its place a new French aristocracy began to run the country – even bringing their language with them. The guide examines the impact the new Norman rule had on the English way of life.
