Campaigns of the Norman Conquest КНИГИ ;ВОЕННАЯ ИСТОРИЯ Campaigns of the Norman Conquest (Essential Histories 12)ByMatthew BennettPublisher:Os Publishing2001 96PagesISBN: 1841762288PDF28 MBAn introduction to the Norman Conquest, an event which would link the English kingdom with Europe, especially France, for 500 years. It completely changed the nation's aristocracy, church and administration, bringing in a new language and cultural influences. This was reflected in art and architecture too, especially military architecture and the castle. The Conquest has since been of enduring political significance: in the 17th century radicals spoke of the "Norman Yoke" on traditional English liberties, while 19th-century scholars debated whether it was "good" or "bad" for the nation's development. Today, the Conquest is still a hotly-debated issue, popularly regarded as the last time England was successfully invaded. About the AuthorMatthew Bennett is a Senior Lecturer at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst and a specialist in medieval military history. sharingmatrixletitbit 85
