Question

How does evidence shape Lanfranc?

Answer

Narrative sequence: answer How does evidence shape Lanfranc by focusing on Part three: The Norman Church and monasticism. Use the chronology of BA Norman England, c1066-c1100, select named evidence connected to Study the Church, including the Anglo-Saxon Church before 1066, Lanfranc, reform, church and cathedral building, Church organisation and courts, Church-state relations, William, and order events accurately, show movement from one development to the next, and avoid jumping chronology. End by answering the command word directly.

Explanation

This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 2 Section B: British depth studies including the historic environment, then anchor the answer in Part three: The Norman Church and monasticism. The evidence should connect to Study the Church, including the Anglo-Saxon Church before 1066, Lanfranc, reform, church and cathedral building, Church organisation and courts, Church-state relations, William and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.

Common mistake

Avoid confusing Lanfranc

A common mistake is to write about Lanfranc as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in c1066-c1100.

Anchor the answer to Part three: The Norman Church and monasticism, use precise evidence, and state whether Lanfranc is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
