According to the article, the Norman conquest of England was in 1067.

This comes from the BBC's Welsh timeline, which was refering to the Norman invasion of Wales, AFTER the 1066 invasion of England.

The Wikinerds/Nerdshift (NOT Wikipedia) error was editing "Wales" to read "Britain". SLOPPY!

A lot more of their article was a jumbled mess, too.

If you use their 'external link' to the BBC's Timeline, there is a lot worth looking at, if Welsh history is an interest.

I don't know how soon after 1066 the first Norman incursion into Wales was, but the final conquest of Wales wasn't until much later, 1276-1284, under King Edward I, although Henry II (1154-1189) had nominally subjugated the country.
