Abstract

"Apparently as the result of one day's fighting (14 October 1066), England received a new royal dynasty, a new aristocracy, a virtually new Church, a new art, a new architecture and a new language."(DAVIES, 1976; 103). This sentence shows clearly the crucial influence of the normans on the future of England. However, what happened in one day was just the beginning of longer and deeper changes on British culture. Actually, the conquest of England by William the Conqueror cannot be limited to the Battle of Hastings in 1066. After this battle, England became under control of Normandy for few centuries, which is clearly enough to transform an existing society into another one. This era can be seen as a pivotal phase for britain: this invasion created a stronger bond towards continental Europe.
