Conquest征服（1000——1087）
九个小时的战役（the Battle of Hastings）之后，一切都改变了，诺曼人取代了盎鲁——萨克逊人，英国从此走上另一条道路。
当法国人到来时，Harold解除了他哥哥Tostig的武装。他率领他的最后的部队向南冲锋了187英里。最后他在Senlac山上面对着向他冲来的威廉的骑士和弓箭手。
1066年的圣诞节那天，威廉登上了英格兰的王位，英国成为诺曼人帝国的一部分，而威廉也成为第一个王。

At the shout of acclamation, the Norman soldiers stationed outside thought a riot had started, to which their response was to burn down every house in sight. As fighting broke out, many of those inside the Abbey, smelling smoke, rushed outside. And the ceremony was completed in a half empty interior, with William, for the first time in his life, seen to be shaking like a leaf.
When he emerged from the smoke and chaos of the coronation, just what kind of King did the surviving remnant of the old governing class imagine they had? Did they fondly suppose he was going to be another Canute, who now that he'd won his remnant would disband his army and send them home? If they did, they were in for a very nasty shock, because even if William had wanted to do this, it was quite impossible. His whole campaign had been based on the promise of the lure of land, the pledge to hand over Saxon land on a golden plate of conquest.振聋发聩的欢呼声。让镇守在外的诺曼士兵以为有人暴动。他们的镇压举措是烧毁所有看得见的房屋。冲突发生后，教堂里面的人闻到了烟味，冲出了教堂，最终加冕仪式在半空的教堂中冷清地结束了。威廉有生以来第一次，吓得魂不附体。当他穿过烟雾，从混乱的加冕礼中走出，那些幸存下来的贵族阶级，认为他们辅佐了以为什么样的君主，他们会天真地以为他会成为下一个卡纽特吗？现在已得偿所愿的他，会解散他的军队，任其归乡吗？如果真这么想，他们就大错特错了，因为即便威廉想要这么做，他也做不到。他得到支持是因为他曾许诺给予土地，他曾许诺以撒克逊的土地，换取头顶的王冠。 |
