The Société normande d’études préhisto- riques was born in 1893, ten years before the Société préhistorique française. It was the first society specialising in prehistory in France. This specialisa- tion was desired by the founders, especially Amand Montier and Léon Coutil, whose action took place in the context of the building of the discipline. Montier established immediately a relationship with experi- enced members of the new scientific community. The latter thought it could be a model to the other regions, therefore, they supported the plan and some even participated in its actions. For twenty years before the First World War, the Norman society continued its activities in conjunction with its original objectives: a survey of the regional prehistoric discoveries, especially by Coutil, continuation of field research (essentially in Haute–Normandie). It took part in protection of megalithic monuments and sites and national debates, either directly or by members, especially by Louis Deglatigny. This article deals with the conditions of its formation, action, as well as evolution. It tries to assess the importance, limits and significances of the changes and to evaluate the respective parts of institutions and people.

It is not a secret that the war between Harold II and William the Bastard, who eventually became William the Conquer, belongs to the most discussed topics. This statement applies especially to the English scholars, who treat the issue as one of the key events in the history of their nation. However, while reading the works of these excellent scientists, one can have the impression that the topic in question was utilized to strengthen the traditional, post-Wig historiosophy. It is a very popular belief that papacy (in person of pope Alexander II) supported the Norman conquest of England in 1066. According to some of the Norman sources, William even received a papal banner which he took for his expedition. In opinion of many scholars, there are grounds to treat the invasion of Norman duke as a first crusade (mainly due to character of Alexander II support). However, both nations were Christian, so the assessment of the pope`s statement in modern history is explicit. In the second part of this paper, arguments will be given, that the Apostolic See didn`t support the Normans at the time of the conquest. The paper also examines the evolution of church` approach towards war in early middle ages.
