The Normans?

WHO WERE THEY? WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? WHAT WAS THERE FEUDAL SYSTEM IN ENGLAND?

The normans were descendants of Vikings, that had a Feudal system in France. However, the Dukes of Normandy payed little attention to there feudal rulers, taking on the world on their own terms.

Perhaps the greatest legacy that the Normans are seen to have left is the feudal system, with Norman knights and barons replacing the English earls and thegns. The situation is not however quite so simple- in some parts of England Feudalism was slow to take hold, and in certain cases it could in fact be argued that England had become a feudal state before the reign of William.
