England in 1066

England he was challenged by two powerful rulers: Harald, King of Norway, and William, Duke of Normandy. The English defeated the Norwegian in the north of the country and then moved to the south to meet the Normans.

Слайд 3

Слайд 4

William I was crowned King of England but the English people

remembered him as William the Conqueror.
The result of the Norman conquest was the establishing of a strong centralized monarchy in England and the development of feudalism.

Слайд 5

Most common people in England lost all their rights and

came to be regarded as mere property belonging to a manor – a large estate owned by a Norman landlord.
Norman French became the official language of the country.

Слайд 6

The Domesday Book
In 1086, William ordered to make a

Слайд 7

According to the Domesday book, in the 11th century there

were 32 towns in England, London being the largest with population of 15,000 people. Different crafts developed in towns, but the economy of England was based primarily on agriculture.

Слайд 8

The Plantagenets
After the death of William the Conqueror the throne

passed first to his sons, and then to the Norman dynasty of the Plantagenets which ruled England till the end of the XV century.

Слайд 9

Henry II Plantagenet (1133 / 1154 – 1189)
Henry II was

the founder of the dynasty and a ruler of a huge empire. He took steps to reduce the power of barons and cope with the feudal anarchy. He turned the complex and ineffective English system of law into an efficient legal system presided over by the royal court. He encouraged the growth of new towns.
Henry II was also the first English king to be proclaimed as King of Ireland.

Слайд 10

Henry II also tried to curb the power of the

Church. But it failed because of the clash with Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Слайд 11

Richard I the Lionhearted (1157 / 1189 – 1199)
Henry II

was succeeded by his son Richard I the Lionhearted who showed little of his father's administrative capacity and preferred to demonstrate his talents in battle.

Слайд 12

John Lackland (1167 / 1199 – 1216)
King John the Lackland,

the younger brother of Richard, became the next monarch but he didn’t have the military abilities of his brother. During his reign almost all the vast Plantagenet possessions in France were lost. John tried to rule as a tyrant, and became rather unpopular with both nobility and the common people.

Слайд 13

Magna Carta
In 1215, the barons seized the capital and made

king John sign a historic document, known as Magna Carta (Great Charter). This document laid the earliest principles of English democracy.

Слайд 14

Magna Carta (1215)
The king was to guarantee and protect the freedom

of his subjects
No one was to be punished for any wrong-doing without a proper trial according to the law of the land
The permanent committee of 25 barons was set up to control the situation, and the king was to govern only with this Council’s advice and permission
The king was not to make the people pay taxes without the consent of the Council

Слайд 15

Henry III
King John had to sign the Charter, but as

soon as the barons left London he denounced it and gathered an army. The war continued during the reign of John’s son and heir Henry III.

Слайд 16

The birth of Parliament
Simon de Montfort
Led by Simon de Montfort,

the barons captured Henry III, and set up de Montfort as temporary ruler. In 1265, to help him in the task of government, de Montfort summoned the first parliament in English history. Besides knights and the clergy, two representatives of each town were invited to take their places in parliament.

Слайд 17

Parliament
Later the opposition of Montfort and the barons was ultimately

defeated, but English kings kept summoning parliament on a regular basis. It was regarded as a good means to curtail the power of feudal barons.

Слайд 18

Conquering of Wales
Edward I
(1239 / 1272 – 1307)
Carnarvon
Conway
Caerphily
At the

end of the 13th century, Edward I established English rule in Wales. In 1300, Edward made his son Prince of Wales, thus introducing the title which the heirs to the English crown continue to keep today.

Слайд 19

Cultural development
As a result of the Norman invasion, England became

part of the European culture.
Court literature, written in Norman-French, began to develop in England. The troubadours, the composers of lyric poetry and songs, enjoyed great popularity.
