∙ 13y ago
After the conquest the Anglo-Saxon and Norman culture amalgamated. This was known as Anglo-Norman society. Essentially William kept the social and ecclesiastical structure England had established. He kept the Finance and administration in tact, replacing important statuses with Norman nobles and high ranked people. You could, therefore, conclude there was lots of continuity when William invaded. What William did change however, was he introduced the feudal system and a new architectural style to new churches and cathedrals.
