How did the Norman castles affect the Saxons?
The construction of Norman castles significantly impacted the Saxons by solidifying Norman control over England after the 1066 conquest. These castles served as military strongholds, reinforcing the power of the Norman lords and instilling fear among the local Saxon population. They disrupted traditional Saxon governance and land use, leading to social and economic upheaval as Normans often displaced Saxons from their lands. Ultimately, the presence of these fortifications marked a shift in power dynamics, contributing to the gradual assimilation of Saxon culture into Norman feudal society.
