What are some facts about the Christian nobles in 1066

The role of Christianity in the events of the Norman Conquest of England and the Battle of

Hastings of 14th October 1066, 950 years ago, was mainly incidental. The driving forces were

ambition and greed. All the bishops and archbishops of the time as well as the monasteries

and nunneries were Catholic. The word of the Pope governed the outlook of the Church and

the people were in fear for their souls. Many bishops, archbishops and abbots were noble

placemen and they were powerful in the political world as well as in the church. Some were

soldier-bishops.
