| Abstract | Conquests are frequently presented as great turning points in history, but conquests are often defined as much by their continuities as by their changes. Across four sessions, we aim to examine the continuity of social practices and memorialisation across the conquests of England and Normandy in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries. In this panel we shall discuss the role of social practices in the memory of conquest and the 'Loss of Normandy' in the late 12th and early 13th century, specifically the ways in which political, religious, and cultural practices were both altered and sustained in the wake of conquest. |
