The article discusses the England history of England. In 1066 Anglo-Saxon England fell to the Normans and over the next several years William the Conqueror set his sights on the Celtic realms of Scotland, Ireland and Wales, yet by 1136 he captured only a foothold in the Celtic territory of Wales. Topics discussed include transformation in the Welsh frontier, effectiveness of the longbow learnt by Normans, information associated with the Battle of Crug Mawr and reasons for failure of Normans.
