How The 'French' Conquered Britain & Changed The Course Of History | 1066 Documentary | Timeline

The Normans that invaded England in 1066 came from Normandy in Northern France. However, they were originally Vikings from Scandinavia.

Over time they assimilated into medieval European society, abandoned paganism, and upheld conventional Christian norms.
