The Norman Conquest of 1066 reshaped England's history, bringing an end to Anglo-Saxon rule and establishing Norman dominance. Providing a comprehensive view of this transformative event, this book explores not just the invasion itself but the forces that shaped it and the lasting consequences that followed. It begins by tracing the development of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom and the creation of the Duchy of Normandy, setting the stage for the dramatic events that unfolded after the death of King Edward the Confessor. It examines the rival claims to the English throne, Duke William's preparations, and the pivotal Battle of Hastings. Beyond the conquest, the book delves into the profound changes wrought by Norman rule, including the creation of the Bayeux Tapestry, the brutal Harrying of the North, and the groundbreaking Domesday Book. Richly detailed and illustrated with scenes from the Bayeux Tapestry, this book provides a fresh and encompassing perspective on how the Norman Conquest reshaped the political, cultural, and social fabric of England.
