The Norman Conquest
dmoorhousedmoorhouse

The Norman Conquest

(1)
A booklet that covers some aspects of the Norman Conquest. It addresses the claims to the throne, the invasion, Battle of Hastings and some of the consequences of the invasion and conquest. This booklet does not aim to go into a great deal of depth on the Norman Conquest. It provides the core information and that can be supplemented with resources such as my worksheets on specific aspects of the invasion and conquest. The booklet is great for small group work, as a homework pack or for homeschooling. For my free reference materials see The Normans DXP9ZZ15HP
