The year 1066 was the year that Harold II of England defeated the forces of Hardrada and Tostig of Norway, preventing England from becoming one of the Scandanavian countries. It was also the year when William, Duke of Normandy successfully invaded England and became King William I after his victory at The Battle of Hastings when Harold II was killed.

Many British historians count the period between 1066 and the end of The Wars of the Roses in 1485 as "The Middle Ages" or "The Medieval Period."
