The Norman Nobility refers to the aristocratic class that emerged in the Duchy of Normandy during the medieval period. This group played a significant role in the history of France and England, particularly after the Norman Conquest of 1066, when William the Conqueror established himself as King of England. The Normans were known for their military prowess and feudal system, which structured society around land ownership and loyalty. Members of the Norman nobility often held vast estates and were responsible for governing their lands. They were influential in shaping the political landscape of both England and France, contributing to the development of castles, towns, and legal systems. Their legacy can still be seen today in various cultural and architectural influences across Europe.
