History of Europe

How long was Britain concurred by the Normans?

The Norman conquest of England began with the invasion of England by William, Duke of Normandy, who claimed the English throne following the death of Edward the Confessor. William's invasion force landed in Pevensey, Sussex, on 28 September 1066. The decisive Battle of Hastings followed on 14 October, and William was crowned King of England on Christmas Day, 1066, in Westminster Abbey. The Norman conquest was a success, and the Normans quickly established control over England. They introduced a new system of government and law, and also brought with them a new language and culture. The Norman conquest had a profound impact on English society and culture, and its effects can still be seen today.

Britain was not conquered by the Normans, but rather England.
