October 14th, 1066: Battle of Hastings. Norman forces under William the Conqueror defeat the English army and kill King Harold II of England.

Significance of the battle:
1. Under the Saxons (pre-Norman invasion), the Earls often held equal importance to the king. However, under William's law, the king was the principal authority figure and served as the collective executive, judicial, and legislative branches of the government.
2. New language and culture that was adopted. French became the language of the king’s court and gradually blended with the Anglo-Saxon tongue to give birth to modern English.
3. The introduction of the feudal system to England.
