Late British History

After the Normans, British history can be divided into “Dynasties”

• Anglo-Normans (1066 – 1215)
• Middle Ages (1216 – 1347)
• Late Medieval (1348 – 1484)
• Tudors (1485 – 1602)
• Stuarts (1603 – 1713)
• Georgians (1714 – 1836)
• Victorians (1837 – 1900)

Who were the Normans?

• The Normans were originally Vikings (“North Men”) from Scandinavia
• They settled in a part of France called Normandy
• The Normans were the last people to successfully invade England

Normandy

The Norman Conquest (1066)

• In 1066 the Anglo-Saxon King of England died without an heir
• Two people claimed the Kingdom:
• Harold, The Earl of Wessex
• William, The Duke of Normandy
• Harold had himself crowned King but his position was not secure.
• By August 1066 William had assembled a force of about 5,000 knights for invasion
• William defeated Harold at the Battle of Hastings (Oct 14 1066).
• This resulted in profound political, administrative, and social changes in the British Isles.
