The Normans

To William, the Duke of Normandy, England was “Angleterre” or the Old French equivalent—and in 1066 the country became as French as William could make it. This program describes the Norman invasion that ended Anglo-Saxon rule, summarizes William the Conqueror’s transformative reign, and profiles the six rulers who followed him. How Henry I wrested the crown from his brothers and solidified royal authority, how Stephen of Blois succeeded instead of Henry’s own son, how Richard Coeur de Lion fulfilled chivalric ideals but as a king fared no better than his hapless brother John—these and other accounts compose a lively proto-history of England’s “foreign” royalty. (47 minutes)
