The Normans ruled England from 1066 until 1154, a period of about 88 years. The Norman rule began with William the Conqueror's invasion and victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, and ended after a civil war period known as the "anarchy" (1135-1154) which concluded with the rise of King Henry II, marking the end of Norman rule. During this time, there were four Norman kings of England: William I (1066-1087), William II (1087-1100), Henry I (1100-1135), and Stephen (1135-1154). The rule saw significant political, cultural, and religious changes, as well as the introduction of feudalism and the restructuring of English aristocracy with Norman influence.
