Synopsis:

This study examines the Norman settlement of Anglo-Saxon England, that was begun before 1066 but which was made permanent by military conquest between 1066 and 1071. The Norman transformation of England was slow and fitful, however, politically and militarily reliant upon a divided opposition for success, and was to a large extent confined to the upper strata of government and society. The impact of this colonizing venture, though deep, varied in intensity, and the resultant state was the product of interaction between conquerors and conquered.

Review: 'A very good survey, whose clarity is much appreciated by students.' - Professor David Bates, University of Glasgow '...an ideal survey for an undergraduate audience...' - Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History Reviews of the first edition: 'Brian Golding's Conquest and Colonisation provides a valuable map of the terrain, including Wales and Scotland as well as England and Normandy ... it is (a book) which can be read with great profit both by specialists and by undergraduates, to whom it will come as a particular boon.' - Ann Williams, English Historical Review 'Mr Golding's scholarly work sheds a welcome shaft of sense and realism on these formative years.' - The Cornish Banner
