Normans: The Normans were a group of Northmen, or Viking-like people, who settled in France in the 9th and 10th centuries. They were descendants of the Vikings who invaded England in 1066 and established the Duchy of Normandy. The Normans played a significant role in European history, known for their military conquests, cultural achievements, and feudal system. They are also famous for the Norman Conquest of England, where they conquered the English kingdom and replaced the Anglo-Saxon ruling class with Norman aristocrats.
