People with Norman French ancestry were at the top of society due to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, which established a feudal system that favored Norman elites. They received significant land grants and held key positions in government and the military, solidifying their power and influence. Additionally, their culture, language, and customs became dominant in England, further entrenching their social status. This created a lasting hierarchy that positioned Norman descendants as the ruling class for centuries.
