Identity and Culture Post-Norman Conquest

This chapter explores the complexities of identity and heritage in England after the Norman Conquest, challenging the idea of a complete cultural erasure of the Anglo-Saxons. It discusses the influence of naming conventions, the significance of historical chronicles, and the emergence of a new Anglo-French identity over time. The conversation also highlights the contributions of figures like Bede and the cultural renaissance during King Alfred's reign in preserving Anglo-Saxon heritage.
