The Norman conquest of England was the 11th century invasion and occupation of England by an army of Norman, Breton, and French soldiers led by Duke William II of Normandy, later styled as William the Conqueror.
William's claim to the English throne derived from his familial relationship with the childless Anglo-Saxon King Edward the Confessor, who may have encouraged William's hopes for the throne. Edward died in January 1066 and was succeeded by his brother-in-law Harold Godwinson. The Norwegian king Harald Hardrada invaded northern England in September 1066 and was victorious at the Battle of Fulford, but Harold defeated and killed him at the Battle of Stamford Bridge on 25 September 1066. Within days, William landed in southern England. Harold marched south to confront him, leaving a significant portion of his army in the north. Harold's army confronted William's invaders on 14 October at the Battle of Hastings; William's force defeated Harold, who was killed in the engagement.

The Norman Conquest of England This video shows how evidence of the Norman Conquest can be found all around us in our landscape, our buildings and our language. To mark the spot where King Harold fell in the Battle of Hastings, William the Conqueror built a monastery on the site where Battle Abbey now stands. The Normans worked hard to protect their conquest, building a vast number of motte and bailey castles like Berkhamsted Castle in Hertfordshire. Many other Norman castles survive today. One of the greatest is Rochester Castle in Kent, built overlooking the River Medway to defend vital supply route to Dover and France. We see Rochester Cathedral, a fine example of the distinctive Norman style of architecture, with features to look for such as beautiful decorative carvings. Eve...

Get your free copy of this audiobook: http://copydl.space/mabk/30/en/B01EUF8Y8U/audiobook Exploring the successful Norman invasion of England in 1066, this concise and listenable book focuses especially on the often dramatic and enduring changes wrought by William the Conqueror and his followers. From the perspective of a modern social historian, Hugh M. Thomas considers the conquest's wide-ranging impact by taking a fresh look at such traditional themes as the influence of battles and great men on history and by assessing how far the shift in ruling dynasty and noble elites affected broader aspects of English history. The results, Thomas convincingly shows, are both complex and surprising. In some areas where one might expect profound influence, such as government institutions, there was ...
