Norman Culture refers to the customs, traditions, and societal norms of the Normans, a group descended from the Vikings who settled in what is now Normandy in northern France. This culture emerged in the 10th century and is characterized by a blend of Viking, Frankish, and local influences. The Normans are known for their advancements in architecture, particularly the development of the Romanesque style, as seen in their impressive castles and cathedrals. The Normans played a significant role in European history, especially after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. This event led to significant changes in the English language, law, and governance. The Normans introduced feudalism, which shaped social structures, and their legacy can still be seen in various aspects of modern culture, including language and architecture.
