That s why the history of the country closely connected with the history of Royal dynasties.

Speaking about royal dynasties in England we should take in mind the fact, that the first one appeared in the country with the Norman invasion in 1066. In the ancient time after Anglo-Saxon invasion the country consisted of small kingdoms each ruled by its own king. Their representatives Chieftains of the kingdoms the Witan chose king of England for example Edward the Confessor.

It was William the Conqueror, who began the first dynasty House of Normandy.

William I the Conqueror Duke of Normandy 1035-1087 invaded England, defeated and killed his rival Harold at the Battle of Hastings and became King of England. With the coronation of William the new period in history of England began. England turned into a centralizes, strong feudal monarchy. The period of small kingdoms ended and started the Era of Absolute Monarchy. William was Duke of Normandy and at the same time the King of England.

He controlled two large areas Normandy inherited from his father and England he won it. Both areas were his personal possession. To William the only difference was that in France he had a King above him and he had to serve him. In England he had nobody above him. Nobody could say who he was an Englishman or a Frenchman. The Norman Conquest of England was completed by 1072 aided by the establishment of feudalism under which his followers were granted land in return for pledges of service and loyalty.

As King William was noted for his efficient harsh rule. His administration relied upon Norman and other foreign personnel especially Lanfranc Archbishop of Canterbury. In 1085 started Domesday Book. In this book there was the reflection of what happened to England. The next kings were kings of Plantagenet s dynasty. I have chosen the history of this dynasty as a subject for my course paper because, on the one hand, being a student of the English language I can t but be interested in the history of this country, and, on the other hand, not so much is written about the Plantagenet s kings, among which there were such world-known persons as Richard-the-Lion Heart and John Lackland.
