In that fateful year of 1066 three kings ruled England in succession. Tradition tells us the conquest of England by the powerful Normans was inescapable, and suggests England benefited at once by closer links with Europe. New discoveries, however, have thrown doubt on these long accepted truths. Nine and a half centuries later we look again at the course and outcomes of the Norman Conquest of England, the genocide committed in northern England, the wholesale transfer of lands to Norman lords and the Domesday Book designed to enable every last drop of taxation to be extracted from a subdued kingdom.
