Norman+England

 **You are now entering a world of**  **usurpation, destruction, colonisation**  **and rebellion.**

**You will study what Simon Schama described as 'a massive fault-line in the continuity of our history' -** **we count our kings and queens from 1066, our system of currency lasted until 1971, and the shires created** **in the Anglo-Saxon period still remain in England today.** **Fortunately, ordeals by bread and mutliation by armed bands have fallen by the wayside.**
 * Not to mention rapine, kidnapping, and the other political manoeuveres of the Godwin family...**

**Why not get one step ahead and** hear it from the horse's mouth. You could even do some reading....
