Spanish term

Normandos cambiaron? la antigua sociedad guerrera por...

Non-PRO Spanish to English Social Sciences History
Hola,
me gustaría pedir ayuda a alguien que sepa sobre historia de Inglaterra, para que me ayudase a expresar bien en inglés esta frase.
"Los Normandos cambiaron/sustituyeron la antigua sociedad guerrera presidida? por un Lord por un sistema feudal con una corte, rey y caballeros."
Quiero reflejar esta idea, podéis hacer las modificaciones que creáis necesarias, porque no sé exactamente que relación tenía el Lord con los guerreros o si el sistema feudal funcionaba así.
Gracias
Un saludo

Agree with DLyons Introduced a feudal system headed by a lord. The Lord is part of the feudal system to my knowledge...

@rosevelvet Are you writing the Spanish text yourself, or are you translating an existing one?
rosevelvet (asker) Jun 6, 2016:
But could you give me a sentence with that meaning?
The Normans subtituted the former warrior society * a Lord by a feudal system with a court, a king and knights? I dont know
DLyons Jun 6, 2016:
Maybe "introduced" or "restructured". But they were quite quickly assimilated themselves!

I agree. Thanks.
agree Thomas Walker : Agree, with Stephen's proviso. Or, you could recast the sentence: "The Normans introduced a feudal system, with a court, a king, and knights, to replace the old warrior society ruled by a Lord."
