Description
The Norman Conquest: A Very Short Introduction by George Garnett A concise and insightful exploration of one of England's most pivotal moments in history, revealing how the invasion of 1066 transformed the country's language, law, government, and culture. George Garnett, a leading expert on the subject, sheds light on the differing ways historians have viewed the conquest over nearly a millennium, and how much of our understanding today was shaped by the values of the Victorian Age. He examines the events leading up to the invasion, including the Battle of Hastings, and provides a nuanced understanding of its enduring legacy. This book offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in English history, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the subject.
