1. Since the 8th century, the British Isles have been devastated by sailors from Scandinavia, first by the Danes and later by the Norwegians. Until the end of the 9th century. The Danes have succeeded in building a permanent foothold in England. More than half of England was entrusted to the invaders and recognized as the Danish territory "Danelaw". The new settlers and the British got married and mixed. They lived nearby and had no different social status, culture or customs. As evidenced by the place names, Scandinavian populations exceeded the Anglo-Saxon population in the largest settlements. In total, more than 1400 British villages and towns have names of Scandinavian origin (soap that is an element of the "village", such as wood soap). Eventually, the Scandinavians were ethnically and linguistically incorporated into the locals. Although they merged with the surrounding community, their impact on linguistic status and English development was enormous. Regional differences in English are widening in the 11th and 12th centuries Partly due to the influence of Scandinavia. Through contact and mixing with O Scand, the Scandinavian dialect has acquired a permanent and sometimes indelible Scandinavian character. In later times, Scandinavian elements were passed on to other regions. The inclusion of Scandinavian elements in London dialects and Standard English was brought about by changes in the English language situation: a mixture of dialects and an increase in language standardization. The new King Edward the Confessor (10421066) has brought many Norman advisers and favorites. To considerable dissatisfaction with the Anglo-Saxon aristocrats, he distributed British land and wealth among them and appointed them to important positions in the government and church hierarchy. Not only did he speak French himself, he claimed that it was spoken by aristocrats in his court. It was rumored that William, Duke of Normandy, visited his court and Edward named him his successor. However, the government of the country, led by the powerful Earl of Wessex Godwin, was still in the hands of the feudal lord of Anglo-Saxon. In 1066, after Edward's death, the elders of England proclaimed Harold Godwinson the King of England. As soon as the news reached William in Normandy, he gathered a large army through a land oath and landed in England with the support of the Pope. Harold was killed and the British were defeated at the Battle of Hastings in October 1066. This date is commonly known as the date of the Norman Conquest. After his victory in Hastings, William bypassed London, separated from the north, and conferred the throne on London's Witenagemo (the elder of England) and the bishops of Westminster Abbey. William and his Baron devastated much of England's land and burned down villages and estates. Most of the land of the Anglo-Saxon lords fell into the hands of Baron Norman, and Wilhelm's possessions occupied about one-third of the land. The Normans occupied all important positions in the church, government, and army. After the conquest, hundreds of people from France settled in England across the canal. French monks, merchants and artisans flooded the southwestern cities, leaving not only noble but also much if the bourgeoisie was French.
