The Norman Conquest

Norman conquest means that the Normans invaded England in 1066. Norman conquerors came from the former Normandy region in the northwestern part of France. The invasion took place under the guidance of William Duke and William conquerors (Thomas, 2008). British people attacked the Normans several times to resist their invasion into the land. But the strong leadership of the Normans brought England 's obedience to put pressure. Norman conquest had a great influence on Britain and their culture.

Norman conquered Norman in England was a historical era of England, conquistador William defeated King Harold in October 1066 at the battle of Hastings. Hastings was the turning point of conquest, but it took six years to complete the opposition of all the saxons. Political figures have changed, Britain is no longer isolated. Along with the King of Anglo-Saxon, most aristocratic members were murdered by Hastings or a subsequent rebellion. Survivors robbed them of them. These lands became the wealth of William and his followers and pressed Norman nobles against British people. Recognizing that a relatively small number of Normans ruleed the British population, William used the Anglo-Saxon Intensive Monarchy to stabilize and strengthen his power. Other political and legal institutions he founded have borrowed a lot from the British tradition.

When Norman conquered England, the Anglo - Saxon language soon declined from 1111 and became the written literary language. New nobles are ruled by Norman, the standard language of courts, parliaments, polite society. Through the integration of invaders, their language and literature are intertwined with local people's languages ​​and literature. Oil dialect of the upper class will be Anglo-Norman, Anglo-saxon people will gradually shift to middle English. Britain - Norman or Latin is the preferred choice for high cultures, English literature will never disappear, and many important pieces explain the development of the language. At the turn of the 13th century, Raymond wrote his Brutt according to Angus Norman's epic in the 12th century by Weis. His rhythm shows the influence of a strong Anglo-Saxon, but Rayamon's language can be thought of as middle English.
