Join Dr. Jennifer Paxton, Professor, Catholic University, as she explores what really changed when William, Duke of Normandy, defeated the English at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. In England, the English church, government, and culture were transformed by their encounter with the Normans, and Normandy was also changed as the result of being ruled from across the English Channel. 

The lecture is sponsored by the Alexandria-Caen Sister City Committee, a committee of the Office of Historic Alexandria.
