Description

In this unit, pupils learn about the measures taken by William I to subdue his new kingdom. They examine the various techniques he used in response to English rebellions, and reflect on William's consolidation of power by 1070.

This unit uses and builds on the previous unit, advancing the narrative of the Norman Conquest by focusing on William I's subjugation of his new kingdom. This unit prepares pupils for the next unit, where pupils begin to evaluate the changes that Norman rule brought to England.
