In 1066, the number of knights in England was relatively small compared to the total population, estimated to be around 5,000 to 10,000 knights. The feudal system was in its early stages, and knights were primarily vassals to the nobility, serving in exchange for land. Following the Norman Conquest, the number of knights increased as William the Conqueror distributed land to his followers, leading to a more structured knightly class in England.

The knights of the Norman Conquest were cavalry soldiers who played a crucial role in the 1066 invasion of England led by William the Conqueror. They were primarily composed of feudal lords and their retainers from Normandy and other parts of France, equipped with armor and mounted on horseback. These knights were instrumental in key battles, such as the Battle of Hastings, where their tactics and training helped secure Norman victory. Following the conquest, many knights were granted lands in England, solidifying Norman influence in the region.
