Changes

The High Middle Ages period saw the rise of the [[Normans]] as a European power - their culture, and more importantly their military, influenced future events in [[England]], [[Scotland]], [[Wales]], [[Ireland]], [[France]], [[Byzantium]] and [[Sicily]]. Having destroyed the Anglo-Saxon model of societal organisation, the Normans continued to implement [[Feudalism]] to the English countryside, replacing the old English thegns and Lords with a new Norman Elite. Over the following years, due to interchanging marriages, the Normans advanced their influence into the sovereign nation of Scotland. However, the Scots remained independent of domination from the English. Some of the mighties families in Scotland could trace their lineage to Norman Lords around the time of the Great Scottish Revolt under [[William Wallace]] and [[King Robert I]] in 1297.
