Having done three invasions that failed to materialise the series finished out with The One That Did™, the Last One That Did™ – the Norman Conquest. Not the initial battle but the slow grind of consolidating power afterwards: the debacle of the coronation, the Harrying of the North, Hereward the Wake etc.

There are many books, both scholarly and popular, that discuss one of the most seminal events in English history: the Norman Conquest of 1066. Perspectives of the Anglo-Saxons, the French, the Normans, and the various populations living in Wales and Scotland are all available for perusal. Recent historical studies of this time period have provided opinions and viewpoints that were once ignored.... https://www.worldhistory.org/review/301/conquered-the-last-children-of-anglo-saxon-england/?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=Zapier&utm_campaign=whencyclopedia #history #11thCentury #NormanConquest #RoyalCourt

#Scots is a sister language to modern English, according to the article, from the Germanic invasions, but without the French influence of the #NormanConquest .

Anyway, there has been a King or Queen of #England since before the #NormanConquest , except for during the #EnglishCommonwealth , and even then the Lord Protector was king in all but name, even passing the role on to his son.
