1066: Year Of The Conquest

Book Review 1066: Year of Conquest. 1066: "The Year of Conquest" written by David Howworth tells us one of the most important days in British history. In 1066, William and Orange William's conquerors participated in the historical Hastings fight. As a result of this fight, there were many changes in the UK. The Normans were integrated into the British lifestyle. Haworth continues to tell the story of Hastings' battle through ordinary British eyes.

The book "The Year of Conquest of 1066" by David Howarth tells stories about how England was governed, organized, and how ordinary people live during the century. It is a very accurate depiction of everyday life in a medieval English town. There is also good insight about the influence of the Normans on Britain and how they forever change the culture of the country. In the battle of Hastings in 1066, the Normans defeated Britain under the control of William Conqueror. William's conquest is not one of the powerful military tactics that is easily seen as one of good fortune. King Harold of England does not appear to treat William as seriously as he should. For example, William did not punish a British spy, but caught him to monitor his army and sent it back to Harold with clear information.

After conquering Britain in 1066, Norman language developed into Anglo-Norman language. From conquest to the centennial war, when English-speaking society used English influenced by French, Anglo-Norman was the English ruling class and business language. Meanwhile, many Arabic words entered French primarily through medieval Latin, Italian and Spanish. There are luxury goods (Élixir, orange), spices (camphre, safran), trade items (Alcool, bougie, coton), science (alchimie, hasard), mathematics (algèbre, algorithm).
