A. The Danes invaded England, but you're not interested in that. The Normans sailed up the Seine River and established themselves in what is now called Normandy. Their leader, Rollo, was recognized by a king of the West Franks of that day as duke of Normandy. The Roman Empire no longer existed in medieval times. In 1071, Normans conquered Byzantine territory in the south of Italy and Sicily, but they were coming from the French duchy.

A. The Norman invasion effected every aspect of England and its culture. The Normans from Normandy in France brought with them their language, cuisine, architecture, literature, and just about everything else. French became the official language of the ruling class. And remained so for centuries. English was spoken by the majority of the people who were Saxons. Eventually the two languages fused into English. This is probably why English is so inconsistent having more than one source. But it is also why English is such a flexible language.

A. The Norman conquest of England began in 1066 AD with the invasion of the Kingdom of England by the troops of William, Duke of Normandy (William the Conqueror), and his victory at the Battle of Hastings. This resulted in Norman control of England, which was firmly established during the next few years. The Norman Conquest was a pivotal event in English history for several reasons. It largely removed the native ruling class, replacing it with a foreign, French-speaking monarchy, aristocracy, and clerical hierarchy.

A. They originally came from Norway as raiders and their leader Rollo the Walker was given a large area of France in return for swearing loyalty to the king and converting to Christianity. Actually the area he was originally given was the Duchy of Ruen and he expanded his territory (there wasn't anyone to stop him) to include the area now known as Normandy. The term Norman was simply another way of saying Northman.

A. The first change was a new King in William I and it meant that all the lords and earls etc who had been loyal to Harold Godwinson had to decide if to show fealty (loyalty) to the new regime or not. there were a lot of northern fiefdoms who were not happy. William put the rebellions down, using scorched earth tactics and replaced a lot of the lords with his own loyal ones. The building of castles - motte and bailey were new, this was the first time the whole village could be protected. Cathedrals of wondrous sizes were another sign of Norman stone masonry and architecture. The growth of the Catholic faith and the decline of pagan religious beliefs and customs. Change in language, more French spoken less Anglo Saxon.
