The Norman Conquest ended Saxon rule. The Normans imposed French as the official court language. The English language itself began to incorporate French words and phrases as a result. In order to make sure that he was receiving all of the taxes he thought he deserved, William the Conqueror inaugurated a census of all of England. By doing so, he got a count of the population, and learned what kinds of crops and small industry existed in which parts of the country. He brought Norman manners and mores to England, and made England the crown jewel in his holdings, which still included lands in what is now France.
