1: Monarchies in England and France (1066–1223)

It is concerned with the impact of the Norman invasion of England, which introduced many changes in government and administration. During the second half of the 11th and 12th centuries, monarchies in England and France became more sophisticated and powerful by substantiating their claims to increased authority, although noble power remained a key feature in both.
