Nave of the Romanesque Abbaye aux Dames in Caen, in northern France. Built by Matilda of Flanders about 1050 AD, not long before the Norman conquest of England in 1066. As you can see, the Normans were already doing pretty well before they conquered England. #normans #matildaofflanders #abbayeauxdames #romanesque #medievalfrance #groinvault #williamtheconqueror #caen #mercenaries
