Ⅷ.The Norman Conquest （William胜，进入封建统治时期11 century）
Edward the Confessor died without a child to succeed him. On his death-bed Edward chose Harold, Earl of Wessex, to be king in his place. Harold was Godwin's son, brother of Edward's wife. Like Canute, he did not belong to the royal family of England; but he was a Saxon lord. The nobles approved of Edward's choice, and Harold was crowned.
But a French nobleman, William, Duke of Normandy, claimed that Edward had promised him the throne. Duke of Normandy was the highest ruler of the Normans. The Normans were Vikings who had settled down and adopted the French language and religion. A duke is the highest rank of noble below the king, and the Norman dukes were supposed to be loyal to the kings of France; but in fact they were completely independent.

Probably in 1064, Harold's ship was destroyed in an accident off the coast of Normandy and he was taken prisoner by William. He was released after he had sworn to be loyal to William and support William's claim to the English throne. Now William was very angry to hear the news that Harold had broken his promise and became king of England.
Soon after Harold（败） became king, William invaded England. He and his men landed on the English coast near Hastings in September 1066. Among the 6,000 Normans, some were soldiers fighting on foot, armed with bows and arrows, the others were heavily armed cavalry, troops who fought on horseback. The English army under Harold were about 7,000 soldiers on foot, armed with spears, swords, and huge battle-axes.

The Normans——Ⅰ.WilliamⅠ
The year 1066 was a turning point in English history. In the year, William(1027?-1087), the Duke of Normandy, invaded and occupied England and made great changes in society of the country. For this, he is regarded as one of the outstanding figures in western European history.
Born in France, William was the illegitimate son of RobertⅠ, duke of Normandy, and Arletta, a tanner's daughter, and is therefore sometimes called William the Bastard. When his father died, the Norman nobles kept their promise to Robert, accepted William as the new duke. Rebellion against the young duke broke out almost immediately, but with the help of HenryⅠ, king of France, he defeated the robels.
William was deeply religious, firm in purpose, and unchanging in gaining his ends. Within a few years, he crushed stubborn resistance of the English and completed the conquest of England. He made the king the real ruler of the country and brought peace and order to England.
During William's rule, many cathedrals and castles were built. The construction of the Tower of London began. Shortly before his death in 1087, William sent out men to make a detailed record of all the wealth of England. The record, known as the Domesday Book, is a rich source of information about England in the Middle Ages. It records how much land and other property there was in England, who held it, and what taxes and services the landholders owed the king for their property.
Although most Anglo-Saxons became serfs under the Normans, they kept their language and many of their customs. While for more than 200 years after the Norman Conquest, members of the royal court and the upper class spoke French. Through the years, however, the differences between the Anglo-Saxons and the Normans gradually decreased, and their languages blended together. By about 1300, English had again become the chief national language. But the English had borrowed thousands of French words and made them part of their own language. The English in an altered form is now called Middle English. In time, the Normans and Anglo-Saxons became a united people.
