Entertainment / Literature / Norman Conquest: Loosely, another term for the Norman Invasion, though technically some historians prefer to differentiate between the 'Norman Invasion' and the 'Norman Conquest' by limiting the scope of the invasion to the initial year 1066 when the Normans landed in England and using the term 'Norman Conquest' to refer to the twenty-one year period over that in which Duke William expanded and solidified his control over all England. In this class, we will use the two terms synonymously. See Norman Invasion, below.
