Summary:

"The Normans in England (1066-1154)" compiled by A.E. Bland is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a sourcebook for understanding the impact of Norman rule in England following the conquest in 1066 and provides a compilation of primary historical documents related to this period. The text explores various events, reforms, and figures that shaped the early medieval English landscape.

It highlights the Normans' military prowess and structured governance juxtaposed against the chaos of Saxon society, illustrating the tensions and interactions that ensued between the two cultures in the aftermath of conquest.
