The book explores the ongoing debate surrounding the Norman Conquest and its implications throughout history. It serves as a guide for students navigating the conflicting interpretations of this pivotal event, from its medieval legal and linguistic impacts to its role in constitutional debates. The concept of a "Norman yoke" spurred revolutionary thoughts and romanticized visions of a lost Saxon era. It also highlights the evolution of historical study, shifting focus from Saxon versus Norman institutions to broader themes like race, society, and women's studies, emphasizing a more comprehensive understanding of the period from the late 10th to early 13th century.
