/eə(r)/
In 1066 the Anglo-Saxon kingdom faced the problem of succession.

Neither Saxon nor Danish dynasty produced an obvious, powerful heir to the throne. The Norwegian king Harold Hardrada, the duke of Normandy William, and the earl of Wessex Harold saw themselves as the heirs to the kingdom.

Harold Hardraga of Norway was the first to move. He invaded

Northumbria and on 20 September won the battle against local earls. This would be the last time a Scandinavian army defeated English forces. Harold Hardraga occupied York but was killed in the battle near York on 25 September.

battle.
The exact numbers present at the battle are unknown; estimates are around 10,000 for William and about 7,000 for Harold. The composition of the forces is clearer; the English army was composed almost entirely of infantry and had few archers, whereas only about half of the invading force was infantry, the rest split equally between cavalry and archers.

/ˌpælɪˈseɪd/
William the Conqueror began the world-famous Tower of

London on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. It used to be a timber fortification enclosed by a palisade. In the next decade work began on the White Tower, the great stone keep that still dominates the castle today. The precise date of the White Tower's foundation is unknown. It is traditionally held that construction began in 1078.

The White Tower was multi-purpose. It was the castle's strongest point militarily yet provided accommodation fit for the king and his representatives. In Norman architecture the keep was a symbol of a lord's power. As the building was intended to be a comfortable residence as well as a stronghold, latrines were built into the walls, and four fireplaces provided warmth.

THE CHANGES BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE CONQUEST

/ˈfjuːd(ə)lɪz(ə)m//ˈtenjə(r)/
In political terms William's victory

destroyed England's links with Scandinavia, bringing the country instead into close contact with western Europe. Inside England the most radical change was the introduction of military feudalism. While tenure of land in return for services had existed before the Conquest, William's establishment of a system that would provide him with upward of 4,000 knights for his feudal host revolutionised the upper ranks of society.

/fiːfs//ˈklɜː(r)dʒi/
England was parceled out

among about 180 Norman tenants in chief, all holding their fiefs by knight service. The resultant almost total replacement of an English with a Norman aristocracy was paralleled by a similar change of personnel among the upper clergy and administrative officers. When in 1085-1086 William caused Doomsday Book to be made, there were only 2 surviving lords of any account.

Apart from the tragedy

of the dispossessed Old English aristocracy, probably the most regrettable effect of the Conquest was the total eclipse of the English vernacular as the language of literature, law, and administration. The Normans, being Frenchmen, brought with them to England the Norman French language and French culture, written English hardly reappeared until the 13th century.

THE CHANGES BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE CONQUEST

The proliferation of records involved

a shift from habitually memorizing things to writing them down. It meant that the whole population was now, in a sense, ‘participating in literacy’; even if they could not themselves read they became accustomed to seeing day-to-day business transacted through the medium of writing. It was then that the first universities were established in England: first in Oxford (1249>1096), then in Cambridge (c. 1284 >1209).

/ɪɡˈzɔːstɪd/ /ˈsɪəriəs/
By about 1300 England choked with people.

Until that time, the clearing of forests and marshland for cultivation and new methods of agriculture had kept most people well fed. By about 1300, however, there was no more land to clear, and the existing land, no matter how well it was cultivated, could not support the growing number of people who lived on it. The soil itself had become exhausted after years of continuous cultivation. Starvation became a serious problem in the 14th century.

Already weakened by continued food shortages,

the people were hit especially hard by the first known arrival of the Black Death in 1348. The Black Death was an epidemic of bubonic plague known to the contemporaries as ‘the great mortality’. As the plague was transmitted by fleas carried by rodents, it was worst in the cities, where many people lived close together and sanitation was poor.

As soon as they dispersed, however, he went back on his promise, and many of the peasants were executed.

Tyler became a figure of legend and is the

hero of the poem “Wat Tyler” (1794), by the British poet Robert Southey.
“The Canterbury Tales” by Geoffrey Chaucer written in 1387-1400 is a collection of stories set within a framing story of a pilgrimage to Canterbury Cathedral, the shrine of Saint Thomas а Becket. The poet joins a band of pilgrims, vividly described in the General Prologue, who assemble at the Tabard Inn outside London for the journey to Canterbury. Ranging in status from a Knight to a humble Plowman, they are a microcosm of 14th-century English society.

The Host proposes a storytelling contest to

pass the time; each of the 30 or so pilgrims (the exact number is unclear) is to tell four tales on the round trip. Chaucer completed less than a quarter of this plan. The work contains 22 verse tales (two unfinished) and two long prose tales; a few are thought to be pieces written earlier by Chaucer.

The tales represent nearly every variety of

Chaucer greatly increased the prestige of English as

Many of the plays of William Shakespeare show thorough assimilation of Chaucer's comic spirit.

However, the French kings had been constantly trying to extend their influence in the English territories, and the two sides had fought several small skirmishes over the issue.

The Hundred Years' War was fought

on French soil and marked the end of chivalry and knightly warfare. Many of the troops involved were mercenaries. When there was a lull in the fighting, they simply hired themselves out to nobles or looted the countryside on their own. Instead of armoured knights, the most important troops were the English archers, whose arrows penetrated armour and reduced the effectiveness of knightly cavalry.

For a long time it looked as though the English would win, but in the 1420s the tide began to turn. Here and there French peasants banded together to fight the English. In 1429 a peasant girl named Joan of Arc convinced Charles, the heir to the French throne, that she had been sent by God to save France.
