It took time for the Saxons to even acknowledge William, Duke of Normandy, as their king. While French quickly dominated the government as the official language, it was not until after William's death in 1087 when his son became England's ruler that tensions lessened somewhat, if only because the Saxons had no choice but to accept the changes brought by being defeated by the Normans.

Who led the Normans in the Battle of Hastings?
Yes the Normans did win the Battle of Hastings because of Harold Godwinson's mistakes for example he lost most of his men because he fought in a battle against Hardrada just before he heard that the Normans had landed in Dover and he only had about a quarter of his men left. Does that answer the question??!!

Did FRANCE and ENGLAND go together to defeat the vikings in the Battle of Hastings?
The Battle of Hastings in 1066 was fought between the Normans of France and the Anglo-Saxons of Britain. The Normans defeated the Anglo-Saxons and their leader William I The Conqueror became the king of England, facilitating the French influence on the English language and culture. Further answer: The confusion can arise because the Normans were of Norse (Viking) descent, and had only been in Normandy in northern France for about 150 years before William invaded England. William actually had a good family claim to the throne of England, trouble was, so did Harold and others!
Despite the fact that the Normans completely subjugated the Anglo Saxons how did English manage to survive?
The Normans spoke Norman-French and this became the language of the court church and administration. Despite this, the Normans were relatively few in number, often intermarried with the English and the ordinary people continued to speak English. The language was greatly simplified in this period (and earlier from contact between Anglo-Saxons and Danes) from the original Anglo-Saxon until it re-emerged as a written language in the form of 'Middle-English' (eg. Chaucer). The loss of Norman lands in France also contributed to the gradual adoption of English.
