Question

Who established the beginnings of the modern English legal system?

• A. The Normans
• B. The French
• C. The Scandinavians
• D. The Germans

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The Normans

The Normans, who invaded England in 1066, established the beginnings of the modern English legal system. They introduced Norman French law practices, which heavily influenced English law and administration.

• The French contributed through Norman rule but the Normans are specifically credited.

• The Scandinavians (Vikings) influenced English culture and language earlier but not the legal system foundation.

• The Germans are not directly linked to the English legal system.
