Medieval (1066–1485) (jan 1, 1066 – jan 1, 1485)

Description:

Duke William of Normandy’s resounding triumph over King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 marked the dawn of a new era. The overthrow of the Saxon kingdom of England was to transform the country the Normans conquered, from how it was organised and governed to its language and customs – and perhaps most visibly today, its architecture.

This was also a period of upheaval and change, a time of revolt, civil war, devastating plague and royal unrest.
