September 1066: A Turning Point in English History - The Norman Conquests Begin This evocative image captures the pivotal moment in English history when William, Duke of Normandy, sets sail from France to challenge Harold, the newly crowned King of England. The Normandy duke, who claimed to have been promised the English crown by King Edward the Confessor before his death, was determined to make good on his claim. Harold, on the other hand, had seized the opportunity to seize the crown for himself after Edward's demise, despite the potential consequences. The stage was set for a battle that would change the course of English history. The image, titled 'William, Duke of Normandy, embarking for England, September 1066,' is a powerful reminder of the political intrigue and military might that marked the end of Anglo-Saxon England and the beginning of the Norman Conquest. William's fleet can be seen in the background, ready to carry the duke and his army across the English Channel to face Harold and his forces. The Norman Conquests, as this period came to be known, would have far-reaching consequences for England. The Normans brought with them new customs, languages, and architectural styles that would shape English culture for centuries to come. The Norman Conquest also marked the end of the Anglo-Saxon period and the beginning of the Middle Ages in England. This print, from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in English history, one that continues to fascinate historians and the general public alike. The Norman Conquest of 1066 was a turning point in English history, and this image serves as a poignant reminder of the events that led to this significant shift.
