In 1066, England underwent a dramatic transformation following the Norman Conquest. After defeating King Harold II at the Battle of Hastings, William of Normandy became William the Conqueror and was crowned King of England. The conquest marked the end of Anglo-Saxon rule and the beginning of Norman dominance.

Norman lords replaced much of the existing Anglo-Saxon nobility, and French became the language of the court, law, and high society. The Normans introduced new systems of governance, including feudalism, which restructured land ownership and loyalty.

Castles, such as the Tower of London, were built to assert Norman authority and defend against rebellion. The Domesday Book, a detailed survey of land and property, was compiled in 1086 to manage taxation and control.

The conquest reshaped English culture, language, and governance, leaving a lasting impact on the nation's identity and legal traditions.
