This article approaches the year 1066 from another point of view, that of the nuns and abbesses of the Sainte-Trinité of Caen. The oldest preserved record for this abbey, its “foundation” charter of June 18, 1066—well known to researchers—links the nuns to the projects of the ducal couple a few months before the Battle of Hastings. William’s victory had immediate economic repercussions for the abbey, which benefited from the enthusiastic patronage of Queen Matilda. With the support of her husband, she was particularly interested in extending the temporalities of her Norman foundation to England. The text examines the meaning of the date of 1066 for the nuns, and questions specific aspects of the abbey’s attachment to England from that year on.
