With the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, the English language began rapidly changing. What other long-term cultural changes did this event bring about within England?

I am primarily interested in what political policies were adopted by the English people, what long-term impacts diplomatically the Norman Conquest had upon England and its neighbors, the economic consequences of the invasion, and the impact of the Conquest upon the average English household.

Hi there, I essentially answered a similar question to yours here, and linked to an earlier answer on some more of the legal changes here. The legal changes in particular would have had a genuine impact on the day-to-day life of the English people, especially as the legal system turned heavily from restorative to punative justice.
