The Norman Conquest is the conquest of England by William, Duke of Normandy, subsequently King William I. The conquest was effectively completed by William's victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, and this is regarded as an important landmark, the start of English history as we know it.One of the reasons the Normans were able to take over so easily was because of the Vikings attack England at the same time. So England was unable to gather enough of an army to fend off the new enemy.
It may be noted that the conquest of Wales by the Normans was completed piecemeal and not finalised until 1282, during the reign of King Edward I. The same king, though he subdued Scotland, cannot be said to have truly conquered it, as it remained an independent kingdom until 1603.
The Norman conquerors introduced French as the language of the ruling classes in England, displacing English, a status it held for nearly 300 years.
At first the conquerors remained ethnically distinct from the native population of England however, over the centuries, the two racial groups merged and are no longer distinguishable.
There is a series of plays by Alan Ayckbourn entitled The Norman Conquests. The subject matter has nothing to do with the Norman conquest of England.

Normandy is a region of northern France occupying the lower Seine area (upper or Haute-Normandie) and the region to the west (lower or Basse-Normandie) as far as the Cotentin Peninsula. Upper Normandy consists of the French départements of Seine-Maritime and Eure, and lower Normandy of the départements of Orne, Calvados, and Manche. Normandy was historically a province of France.
Normandy contains 3.2 million inhabitants, with an average population density of 107 per square kilometre, just under the national average, but rising to 145 for upper Normandy. The principal cities are Rouen (population 385,000, including suburbs), the capital of upper Normandy and formerly of the whole province; Le Havre (247,000); Caen (200,000), the capital of lower Normandy; and Cherbourg (89,000).
Normandy was the home of the Norman people in the early Middle Ages, the last people to successfully invade England. The Normans comprised a mixture of the earlier French and of the Vikings under the leadership of Rollo (Gånge Rolf), who besieged Paris and received the area of Normandy (Treaty of St.-Claire-sur-Epte, 911) in return for defending it against future pirate attacks.
Rollo's descendant William, Duke of Normany, invaded England in 1066 and became king William I of England. Normandy remained associated with England until 1087, in 1106-1144 and in 1154-1204, and was occupied by English forces during the Hundred Years' War in 1346-1360 and again in 1415-1450.
Normandy was also the site during World War II of the Normandy Invasion of German-occupied France by U.S., British, and Canadian troops. This campaign, also known as Operation Overlord, started on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Caen suffered severely in the fighting for the province, which continued until the liberation of Le Havre (September 12).
Since the Channel Islands are still under governance of the British, yet not part of the UK but rather the Duchy of Normandy, the British monarch (currently Queen Elizabeth II) is toasted Duke of Normandy. However, she is not technically Duke of Normandy as any claims by a British monarch to the title were given up by the Treaty of Paris (1295) and furthermore, the rights of succession of that title were governed under Salic Law.

(This is an article about the Norman people. There is also a place named Norman in the State of Oklahoma in the United States; see Norman, Oklahoma.)
The Normans (lit. "Northmen") were Scandinavian invaders who began to occupy the northern area of France now know as Normandy in the latter half of the 9th century. Under the leadership of Hrolf Ganger, who adopted the French name Rollo, they swore allegiance to the king of France and received the lower Seine area from him (911).
The Norman people adopted the French language and a new cultural identity separate from that of their Scandinavian forebears and French neighbours. Norman culture, like that of many other migrant communities, was particularly enterprising and adaptable. It led them, for a time, to occupy widely dispersed territories throughout Europe.
The Normans in England
The most famous Norman leader was William the Conqueror (Duke William II, also known as king William I of England), who successfully lead an invasion of the British isles in 1066. Following the battle of Hastings, he, his fellow Normans and their descendants formed a distinct population in England. Ousting most of the previous Saxon rulers (as the Saxons had, generations before, displaced the leaders of the Celtic tribes in the British Isles), they occupied most of the influential places in the political structure. (Historians debate whether pre-Norman England should be considered a feudal government - indeed, the entire characterization of Feudalism is under some dispute.) Many of the Saxon English lost lands and titles; the lesser thegns and others found themselves lower down the social pecking order than previously. A number of free geburs had their rights and court access much decreased, becoming unfree villeins.
The degree of subsequent Norman-Saxon conflict (as a matter of conflicting social identities) is a question disputed by historians. The nineteenth century view of intense mutual resentment, reflected in the popular legends of Robin Hood and the novel Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott, may have been considerably exaggerated. Some residual ill-feeling is suggested by contemporary historian Orderic Vitalis, who in Ecclesiastical Historii (1125) wrote in praise of native English resistance to "William the Bastard". Likewise, a law called the "Mudrum fine" established a high (46 mark) fine for homicide against a Norman; this law was thought to be necessary due to the high rate of English attacks against Normans.
Whatever the level of dispute, over time, the two populations largely intermarried and merged, combining languages and traditions. Normans began to identify themselves as Anglo-Norman; indeed, Anglo-Norman French was considerably distinct from the "French of Paris", which was the subject of some humor by Geoffrey Chaucer. Eventually, even this distinction largely disappeared with the Anglo-Normans identifying themselves as, simply, English.
Norman Conquests on the Mediterranean
Opportunistic bands of Norman successfully established a foothold far to the south of Normandy. Groups settled at Aversa and Capua, others [?] conquered Apulia and Calabria.
From these bases, more organised principalities were eventually able to capture Sicily from Saracen rulership.
