The expansion of this kingdom and its neighbors do not like very much, in
fact, the Scots and Irish
The kingdoms of the day care a little about this growing English problem
They temporarily join the Vikings and face FSN in the battle of Bruna Burr
in
937 which the English won thus preventing progress from fracturing for the
moment anyway in
978 the Vikings returned in the leadership of Harald Bluetooth
And the king of England, quickly known as an elf, who was no longer ready,
was in no condition to fight to maintain England's existence.
He was forced to pay tribute to them for 20 years, which greatly crippled
the English economy for the year.

Now the throne of England was in the air and Knut the son of Spain defeated Ethelred son
Edmond and claimed the throne for himself becoming king of England in 1016 Knut was not made there two years later
He claimed the son of Denmark and in 1028 the species of Norway as well.
Founding the North Sea Empire also known as the Anglo Scandinavian Empire
Though Knut
Later became the
Second and only other king in English history known as the great empire of

1035, in fact, essentially ended with his last breath of his Knut sons
Succeeded him in England the line of him continued until 1042 when in
English the confessor Saxon Edwards took the throne Edward ruled until
1066 where after he died without an heir, which was obviously going to cause
some trouble to solve this Harold Godwinson.
The richest man in England with an English accent who was probably made the

It happened, in fact, it was hastily crowned on the day of Edward's funeral,
regardless of
The kingdom of God Winston was doomed from the beginning and many people of

Heralds had earned their deaths and the failure of the Viking conquest marks
the end of the Viking age the Vikings did not have a
Negligible impact on England although in fact his influence affected English
history permanently.
Significantly for the English language, they established a series of
settlements in the British Isles.
Including the city of Dublin, which would become the capital of Ireland, its
culture and general presence gave Anglo-Saxon shape.
England the nation it would become and they even sowed the seeds for
England's next invader, the Normans.
Not even a month after Harold Godwinson's victory over the Vikings, in 1066
William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy
Invaded England, in fact just three days later, part of the justification
for this was that William actually had the right to
English throne was related to Harold's predecessor
Edward and William and indeed much of Europe believed that the throne should
have been for him.
William was very confident in his ability to conquer England.
It was later told that his mother had dreamed of a large tree.
Extending over Normandy in England the night it was conceived now here is
Normandy as part of France today
But it is important to remember
Normandy was culturally and linguistically very similar to France
But the Normans themselves, including William or in French, Guillaume, were
descendants of Vikings who had carved that territory around
150 years before and they simply integrated themselves to the front of the
society, in fact, the name Normandy is related to
Northland, that is, the Vikings, so William invades England with around
10,000 men and in a few weeks
He needs Harold Godwinson, who praised some 8,000 men at the Battle of
Hastings.
Harold and William were extremely eager to meet, in fact reports say that
William actually donned his armor
At first, backwards to rush to meet him, the battle lasted most of the
Normans.
Outnumbered by having more archers and cavalry and probably outnumbered by
the Anglo-Saxons, the Anglo-Saxons were defeated in this bell.
Godwinson was probably assassinated Towards the end and shortly after
Hope of victory was lost and the Normans William the Conqueror now ruled one
of the most powerful and stable
Kingdoms in the Europe of the day
Hastings went on to be one of the most important battles in the history of
England. Major changes called the never again spell with an Anglo-Saxon rule.
England, the Anglo-Saxon aristocracy, had been largely
Dispossessed and replaced by Norman
Aristocrats and well-Saxon English were now the language of the peasantry;
the ruling elites spoke Norman French and would continue to do so for some
years.
But Norman French and English would not remain separate, they would merge,
in fact modern English has a greater influence from Norman French than
The
Anglo-Saxon Old English gives us a plethora of words
Many Anglo-Saxon nobles simply left a country and moved to scan the Navy or
Scotland or Ireland, including some by Harold Godwinson.
Family that moved to Ireland, the Normans moved to capitulate to the
Anglo-Saxons asserting their rule, they built churches and castles.
Including the Tower of London, they documented the entire country and
revealed us great detail about the social structure of England a thousand years
ago.
They gradually eliminated slavery in England, a time that reports that
perhaps 10% of the population was formerly enslaved

But the rebellion was brewing in the north of William faced English sex and
rebellion, which was assisted by the Danes who brutally suppressed.
The Normans would face other rebellions, as well as an invasion of France.
But his control over England would remain firm William died on September 9
of the year
1087 his
His successors, when they weren't busy trying to hold onto the ring, would
continue to rule England and eventually move to Scotland and invade Wales.
In Ireland, William's successors were not as successful as he, although
Civil war broke out over successions and the monarchy would become
considerably unstable after two invasions in Scotland.
England enters a period called anarchy in which King Henry, the first nephew
Stefan and his daughter fought to control the great throne because Henry,
the first son, had sadly died unexpectedly
This 17-year period is remembered for its savage violence and bloodshed.
Henry's daughter divorced the Holy Roman Emperor and had married Geoffrey
two accountants, which becomes a very important detail in
1033 has a son with the earl whom he named Henry Henry was destined to
succeed his father
But like his mother
Matilda had high hopes that one day he would become King of England as well
after a considerable amount of conflict with both sides.
Close to victory and nobility changing sides accordingly every time
The civil war finally ended in 1152 when Stephen became king, his rule was
awkward as if that wasn't obvious.
After almost 20 years of civil war, but his succession was also unclear and,
furthermore, his reign included England losing lands like Scottish and Welsh.
Invaders despite these troubles even reigned until
11:54 two years after anarchy officially ends right now Henry
Matilda's son was now the ruler of Anjou and much of western France and had
married Eleanor of Aquitaine.
Unfortunately for Stephen, his son Eustace had died in early 1153 leaving
him without a successor.
She made an agreement with Henry de Anjou
Henry will succeed him and there will be peace in England regarding the
succession that Henry was crowned on October 25.
The second and founder of Plantagenet, a dynasty that would rule the islands

England had more French speaking rulers than France, in fact Henry only
spoke very poor English
French and Latin were all that the ruler of England at the time needed
Henry. I was known for his great temperament
He was power hungry, ambitious, energetic and impulsive for his benefit.
He used his features to secure the power of the barons back to the monarchy
and allowed him to expand his empire in Scotland, Wales.
Britain and Ireland, but for their degradation
It would turn much of his own family against him
He would have a series of shocking incidents, such as the death of Thomas
Becket.
The Archbishop of Canterbury that door in the king had been fighting for
years and after a transgression.
It is recorded that the King said in front of his men
Something similar to what the wretched drones and traitors have fed and
brought to my house to let their lord be treated with

Such shameful contempt on the part of a lowborn clergyman.
Becket killed shortly after an event that would ruin Henry's image across
Europe now obviously
Henry had no intention of killing the Archbishop of Canterbury.
But he couldn't control his anger and his his men confused him
1189 Henry will be succeeded by his third son
Richard the first is again said of Richard that he possessed a crew of
deleon or the heart of a lion
Due to his great success in battle, especially during the third crusade,
where he fought against Salahuddin the Sultan of Egypt in Syria.
