Description: This book explores the Norman Conquest of England, but not as a starting point for English history. Rather, the author delves into the period leading up to the Conquest, arguing that understanding the existing English nation and its complex political and social landscape is crucial to truly grasping the impact of the Norman invasion. The book examines the formation of England, its laws and institutions, and its relationship with other kingdoms in Britain, such as Scotland and Wales, before the Norman Conquest. The author emphasizes the importance of studying this period to understand the long-term impact of the Conquest and how it shaped English identity and culture. The book also provides a detailed account of the history of Normandy, shedding light on the origins and character of the Norman people and their expansionist ambitions. The author weaves together the political, social, and cultural threads of both England and Normandy to illuminate the circumstances surrounding this pivotal event in British history. Ultimately, the book aims to provide a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the Norman Conquest, revealing it not as a complete break but as a significant turning point in English history.
