Norman Invasion on England The invasion of England began on September 28, 1066 to 1072. The Invasion was lead by William Duke of Normandy. The Invasion was held in England. The reason that he invaded England was because he wanted to be king and rule England.

The invasion began with the death of the old king of England, Edward the Confessor. There was no one to take over for the king so they fought over the role. No one liked King Harold in the position, so they tried to unseat him. The people who attempted to invade England the first time were Tostig and Harold Hardrada.The third invasion was by William of Normandy which was a success. There were 7,000 norman troops dropped in the beginning of the invasion. The leader first built a base near Hastings. In the end William became king.

While the Normans were in charge they changed. They changed the landscaping in most of the buildings like the king's palace. The changed the land that the king owned. They changed the languages in some areas. Some cultures were changed. But now they won’t let that happen again, and all of it was changed back.
