Norman Conquest of England
A succession struggle and Norman conquest under William.
The line is a schematic boundary of territory under one side's control at the dated moments, simplified from overview maps. Enclaves, shifting allies and contested districts are omitted; in-between frames are interpolated and closing edges are graphic and may include sea or uninvolved land. The line bounds the area where Norman rule had been established with castles and garrisons; Wales and Scotland lie outside it.
