NORMAN RULE.
With the conquest of England, and as one of the strongest elements of its permanency, the feudal system was brought into England; the territory was surveyed and apportioned to be held by military tenure; to guard against popular insurrections, the curfew rigorously housed the Saxons at night; a new legislature, called a parliament, or talking-ground, took the place of the witenagemot, or assembly of the wise: it was a conquest not only in name but in truth; everything was changed by the conqueror's right, and the Saxons were entirely subjected.
ITS OPPRESSION .-- In short, the Norman conquest, from the day of the battle of Hastings, brought the Saxon people under a galling yoke.

The Norman was everywhere an oppressor.

Besides his right as a conqueror, he felt a contempt for the rudeness of the Saxon.

He was far more able to govern and to teach.
