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.
The Norman Conquest of 1066 was pivotal because it dramatically transformed England's social, political, and cultural landscape. William the Conqueror's victory at the Battle of Hastings established Norman rule, leading to the introduction of feudalism and significant land redistribution. The conquest also resulted in the integration of Norman culture and language, which profoundly influenced the English language and governance. Overall, it set the foundation for the development of a centralized monarchy and shaped the future of England for centuries.
