👉 The Norman Project is an initiative led by the University of Oxford, aiming to explore and preserve the Norman cultural and intellectual legacy in England during the 11th and 12th centuries. It focuses on uncovering and interpreting the impact of Norman rule, which began with the conquest of 1066, through a multidisciplinary approach involving historians, archaeologists, and literary scholars. The project seeks to document the Norman influence on English language, law, architecture, and society, utilizing newly discovered manuscripts, historical records, and archaeological findings. By fostering collaboration between different academic disciplines and engaging with local communities, the Norman Project aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of this pivotal period in English history, enriching our knowledge of how Norman rule shaped medieval England.
