AnswerIn 1066 the Normans came to power by conquering England. William the Conqueror. AnswerThe power of the Normans began in the late ninth century and was firmly established in 911 AD when the leader, Rollo, or Robert I of Normandy was invited to govern the county where they lived as a vassal by the French King Charles the Simple.

Prior to that, Rollo had been a raider, who harried the French. He and some of his warriors had settled in what became Normandy, and made themselves wealthy by raiding French towns and cities along the rivers. When Charles the Simple defeated Rollo in battle, he knew that the defeat would not end the raids, so he gave Rollo the County (later Duchy) of Normandy in exchange for protection against raiders.

Normandy was a rich province, and quickly built power of its own. It was always subject to the King of France, but when William the Conqueror saw an excuse to take England in 1066, he did.
