In the early 12th century, he began to pen his account of the Conquest and its aftermath, and, in complete contrast to the others, Orderic never minces his words about what he thought of as a colonisation. Foreigners grew wealthy with the spoils of England, while her own sons were either shamefully slain, or driven as exiles to wander hopelessly through foreign kingdoms. His account conveys the traumatic magnitude of what happened in England in the years following 1066. PreConquest England was an old country, as Orderic describes it. Afterwards, it was a completely new one. Of course, not everything changed, and to look at a list of governing institutions you might suppose that nothing had changed that one class of governors had kicked out another class of governors. Big deal. |
