The Normans not only conquered Anglo-Saxon England, but had an impact on the whole of Europe, although their story beyond the Battle of Hastings is less well-known. Beginning as Viking raiders (`Northmen') who settled in NorthernFrance in the late ninth century, this energetic and enterprising race established themselves as far afield as Syria, Italy, Sicily and Ireland in the course of the next three centuries. As a people they not only produced outstanding leaders, but were inspired exponents of all the social, political and cultural movements of their time, from monasticism to feudalism and chivalry, from theology and secular government to architecture. They showed an astonishing capacity for organisation, simultaneously absorbing and transforming the cultures of the peoples they conquered, scattering superb churches and castles in the lands they settled. Professor Allen-Brown tells the fascinating story of the Norman expansion. R. ALLEN BROWNis professor of historyat King's College, London, and founder of the annual Battle conference on Anglo-Norman studies.
