  • Invasion, migration, and settlement

Description

In this unit, pupils learn about the ways in which King William asserted his control over the English, like castles, and the Marcher earldoms, and the ways in which they tried to resist. They learn about the Northern and East Anglian rebellions, and William's brutal response to these.

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 and the resistance he encountered. This unit prepares pupils for the next unit, where pupils begin to evaluate the changes that Norman rule brought to England.
