Summary: "The Normans in England (1066-1154)" compiled by A.E. Bland is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a sourcebook for understanding the impact of Norman rule in England following the conquest in 1066 and provides a compilation of primary historical documents related to this period. The text explores various events, reforms, and figures that shaped the early medieval English landscape. The beginning of this volume sets the stage for the dramatic transformation of England under Norman rule following William the Conqueror's invasion. The opening passages contrast the behaviors and lifestyles of the Saxons and Normans prior to and after the conquest, depicting the social and political upheavals the English faced as they navigated their new reality. It highlights the Normans' military prowess and structured governance juxtaposed against the chaos of Saxon society, illustrating the tensions and interactions that ensued between the two cultures in the aftermath of conquest. The text provides insights into specific events like the Harrying of the North and the establishment of new governance, setting a framework for the examination of legal and administrative reforms in subsequent sections.
