 NORMANDY
 Chris Smith and Sam Leonard
BACKGROUND
                INFORMATION

 William of Normandy conquered a kingdom that resisted Viking
invasion for years on end.
 English Army of King Herold II vs. Army of William of
Normandy
 English had a strong stance to keep the Normans away.
 Threw stones and javelins while the Normans tried to run up the
hill
CONT.

 William sent his cavalry sooner than he should have

 The left flank retreated and was followed by the remaining two
divisions.

 Rumor got around that William was dead and he took off his
helmet to prove otherwise

 This boosted Norman morale and was the turning point in battle
CONT.

 Many believe that King Herold was struck in the eye with an arrow

 Others believe that he was killed by the sword.

 Battle of Hastings was the longest and most brutal battle in
English History
INFLUENCE IN LANGUAGE

 Modern English is very different from the English that was spoken
before the conquest.



 It comes from the combination of the updated West Saxon-Old
English, and the most common form of Norman French.
OLD ENGLISH

 Old English was generated from the West Germanic language.

 After the Viking wars, and a settlement of many Old Norse speakers, or
North Germanic speakers, simplifying grammar and the intro to new words
had already started.

 With the West and North Germanic languages combining, there were four
major dialects including: Northumbrian, Mercian, West Saxon, and Kentish.

 Soon the kings of Wessex, or the West Saxon, became kings of all England
and West Saxon language gradually took over Old English.
NORMAN FRENCH

 The area west of the Roman Empire spoke Latin. But the Latin
was not the regular, higher form used by scholars and churches.
 It was more common, known as Vulgar Latin used by soldiers and
the market. The French used a large amount of the language used by
the Gauls, who originally occupied the land.
 The two major parts of French are: the Langue d’oil from the
North, and the Langue d’oc in the South.
MODERN ENGLISH

 Modern English is the combination of both of those languages, and
by about 1100, it was soon classified as the ‘new’ English.
 So when the Norse invaded they brought a language from the same
linguistic family. The languages were both so similar that some of the
words had supplemented others before the fighting even stopped.
 The Norse, as the new ruling class, with the new society developments,
England's new culture and language was much different from before they
invaded in 1066.
