​

The Anglo-Normans were primarily a mix of Normans, Bretons, Flemings, Frenchmen, and Anglo-Saxons who established a ruling class in England after the Norman Conquest. This event, led by William the Conqueror, significantly altered the social and political landscape of England. The Anglo-Norman period is generally considered to have lasted from 1066 to around 1154, marking a time of profound change in governance, land ownership, and cultural exchange between England and Normandy. 

​

Anglo-Norman also refers to the dialect of Old French that was brought to England by the Normans. Initially, it shared many characteristics with continental French but gradually developed its own distinct features. This language became the vernacular of the court, law, and administration, and it was used extensively in literature and scholarly works until the 15th century. 

​

The Walter Surname  is a baptismal last name meaning “the son of Walter”, deriving from the medieval personal (first) German/Teutonic masculine given name Walter (or Wolter), deriving from the Old High German Walthari, consisting Old German words wald (rule) and heri (warrior).
