Norman England - 1066-1154

Informationen zum Autor Trevor Rowley is an Emeritus Fellow of Kellogg College, Oxford. His books include Villages in the Landscape, Norman England and The English Landscape in the Twentieth Century. Klappentext 1066 is perhaps the most important date in English history. The Norman invasion, headed by William the Conqueror, meant revolutionary change throughout English life. Soon there was a new ruling class, new official language, new styles of dress, behaviour and architecture, as well as a new capital and new forms of landholding. The elite Normans brought England much closer to Continental Europe, lived in their new castles and brought in novel styles of military training, founded monasteries and set up schools. This volume explores their lifestyle and the ways in which they interacted with the Anglo-Saxon English as they changed the face of the country forever.
