Answer 1

The Norman Conquest of 1066 was driven by a combination of factors including a succession crisis in England following the death of Edward the Confessor, which left a power vacuum. Additionally, Duke William of Normandy believed he had a legitimate claim to the English throne through his distant relation to Edward and a promise made to him. The political instability in England, coupled with William's military strength and ambition, ultimately led to the decisive Battle of Hastings, resulting in Norman control over England.
