1066 is a year that is remembered in English history as the year of the Norman Conquest. It was the year that William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, invaded England and defeated the Anglo-Saxon forces of King Harold II at the Battle of Hastings.
The Norman Conquest changed the course of English history. William the Conqueror brought with him a new set of laws, customs, and language, which would eventually become the basis of modern English. He also brought a new form of government, the feudal system, which replaced the Anglo-Saxon system of government.
The Norman Conquest also had a profound effect on the English language. William the Conqueror brought with him a new language, Norman French, which eventually became the language of the court and the upper classes. This new language, combined with the existing Anglo-Saxon language, eventually became the language we know today as English.
The Norman Conquest also had a lasting impact on the culture of England. William the Conqueror brought with him a new set of customs and traditions, which were adopted by the English people. These customs and traditions, such as the use of heraldry, the knightly code of chivalry, and the feudal system, would become part of the English way of life for centuries to come.
1066 is remembered in English history as the year of the Norman Conquest, and it is a year that changed the course of English history forever. The Norman Conquest brought with it a new language, a new form of government, and a new set of customs and traditions, all of which would shape the course of English history for centuries to come.
