Normandy was the most highly organized state in Europe at that time.The Norman Duke owed loyalty to the kings of France; but in fact they were completely independent.The Norman ruling class was Scandinavian Vikings who had settled down and adopted the French language and religion.There were a number of lords,but the most important class was the knights.These knights were small landowners who were also experienced professional soldiers,for they held their lands on condition that they fought for their lords whenever it was necessary.Their lords owed the same duty to the duke.
England was ruled by the Danish kings until 1042 when Hardecanute died without a son and Ethelred's son Edward became king.Edward was known as the "Confessor" because of his reputation for saintliness.
Edward ruled for twenty-four years and died in January 1066.Harold,Earl of Wessex,was chosen to be king.Though he was not from a royal family,he had proved himself to be a great warrior and he was accepted as king upon Edward's recommendation.Yet there were several other claimants to the throne including William,Duke of Normandy.William claimed that he had the sole right to be king of England because Edward had promised the crown to him and that Harold had promised to help him become king of England.
In September,Duke William landed on the Sussex coast.Learning the news of his landing,Harold rushed south.The two armies met on October 14 nine miles from Hastings.Harold's forces outnumbered those of William,but many of them were gentlemen of the country having no experience of fighting while the Normans were the finest warriors.The battle went on all day and ended only at dusk,when Harold was killed and his army completely defeated.The Battle of Hastings paved the way for the conquest of England.On Christmas Day 1066 Duke William known as William the Conqueror was crowned in Westminster Abbey.
