For those that do not know the Norman Yoke was a theory that popped up several times in English thought. It basically states that the when the Normans invaded they imposed the terrible yoke of feudalism on the Anglo-Saxon people. It often idealized the Anglo-Saxons, and was a way to blame all the countries problem on the Normans and Catholicism. (link to the Wikipedia article)
