Norman - Exploration Age Civilization

Est. Read Time2 minutes, 1 seconds

From stony shores, the Normans sailed with conquest on their minds. The name "Normans" reflects their origin in Scandinavia, but upon settling in France, they adopted much of its language and culture before setting out yet again, to seize control of England in 1066. Norman knights rode out from stone castles, pursuing the values of chivalry. The Normans became the ruling class of England, and eventually blended into the population.
