Yes, it was 1066 when Duke William of Normandy successfully invaded. The Normans had, however, been exercising power by marrying into the English royal family at various points and there were many Normans at the English court. Given that the Normans were descended from Vikings who settled in Northern France and most of the English nobility then were also partly descended from Vikings, culturally and racially they had much in common, but there was a language difference.

The Normans came from an area known as Normany in northern France. Before this, Normans had been Viking raiders who settled on land they drew as tribute from the French crown.
