Shelf by nono umasy
The Battle of Hastings, a pivotal event in English history, occurred in 1066 when William the Conqueror's Norman forces clashed with Harold II's Anglo-Saxon army. This battle marked the end of Anglo-Saxon rule in England and the beginning of Norman dominance, leading to significant socio-political changes. William's victory at Hastings reshaped England's cultural landscape, resulting in the assimilation of Norman culture and language into English society, ultimately laying the foundation for the development of modern English as we know it today.
