In Interpretation A, historian David Howarth argues that life in England just before the Norman
Conquest was pleasant. Identify and explain one way in which he does this.

If you were asked to do further research on one aspect of Interpretation A, what would you choose to investigate? Explain how this would help us to analyse and understand life in
England immediately before the Norman Conquest.

Interpretations B and C both focus on the impact of the Norman Conquest on English society by
1087. How far do they differ and what might explain any differences?

8* In his 1979 article Medieval Castle Architecture, historian Charles Coulson argues that the construction of a castle ‘was intended as a symbol of lordly status, rather than a response to military insecurity’. How far do you agree with this view of Norman castles in England between
1066 and 1087?

9* In his 2004 book The Penguin History of Britain: The Struggle for Mastery, 1066–1284, historian David Carpenter argues that the main reason why the Normans were successful before 1066 was because of ‘their use of cavalry and fast-moving warfare’. How far do you agree with this view of
Norman society, culture and warfare before 1066?
