William as King

•  William  had  a  profound  effect  on  England.    •  To  reward  his  Norman                                                                              supporters  and  punish  the                                                                              Anglo-­‐Saxons  who  had                                                                                    supported  Harold,  William                                                                                      took  most  English  /tles  from                                                                                  the  Anglo-­‐Saxons  and  gave                                                                                    them  to  his  Normans.

William’s Legacy •  Normans  became  the  ruling  class  and  the  Old  English  were  now  a  part  of  the  lower  classes.  

•  William  spoke  French  and  though  he  tried  to  learn  English,  he  was  not  successful.    As  a  result,  none  of  his  Norman  occupiers  learned  to  speak  English  either.      Further,  many  French  and  La/n  words  made  their  way  into  the  English  language  and  changed  it  forever.    

English words derived from French

•  A)orney  from  the  Old  French  atourné  •  jail  from  Old  French  jaiole  (meaning  cage)  •  parliament  from  Anglo-­‐La=n  parliamentum,  from  Old  French  parlement,  from  parler  to  speak  

•  soldier  from  Old  French  soudier  •  treaty  from  Old  French  traité  •  juice  from  Old  French  jus  •  sausage  from  Old  Norman  French  saussiche

William’s Legacy •  To  be9er  understand  (and  tax)  his  new  subjects,  William  created  a  detailed  census  book  which  listed  every  man,  woman,  and  animal  in  England.    

•  This  book,  known  as  the  Domesday  Book,  was  commissioned  in  1085  and  was  the  first  census  taken  since  the  collapse  of  the  Roman  Empire.    

•  This  established  claim  for  the  Normans  who  were  given  land  by  William.    It  was  used  for  centuries  to  determine  land  rights  

•  There  would  not  be                                                                                                                  as  comprehensive  a                                                                                                  census  taken  again                                                                                                  un=l  the  1900s.      

William’s Legacy •  Every  ruler  of  England  since  William  the  Conqueror  can  trace  their  ancestry  back  to  him.  

•  His  introducCon  of  Norman  administrators  has  been  credited  with  making  England  a  world  power.

Copy  this  chart  onto  a  blank  sheet  of  paper.  

The  Normans:  The  Ba)le  of  HasCngs:  The  Norman  conquest  of  England  began  on  28  September  1066  with  the  invasion  of  England  by  William  the  Conqueror,  Duke  of  Normandy  and  his  victory  at  the  Ba9le  of  Has=ngs  on  14  October  1066  over  King  Harold  II  of  England.  Harold's  army  was  badly  depleted  in  the  English  victory  at  the  Ba9le  of  Stamford  Bridge  in  Northern  England  on  25  September  1066  over  the  army  of  King  Harald  III  of  Norway.  By  early  1071,  William  had  secured  control  of  most  of  England,  although  rebellions  and  resistance  con=nued  to  approximately  1088.      The  Norman  conquest  was  a  pivotal  event  in  English  history.  It  largely  removed  the  na=ve  ruling  class,  replacing  it  with  a  foreign,  French-­‐speaking  monarchy,  aristocracy,  and  clerical  hierarchy.  This,  in  turn,  brought  about  a  transforma=on  of  the  English  language  and  the  culture  of  England  in  a  new  era  ojen  referred  to  as  Norman  England.      By  bringing  England  under  the  control  of  rulers  origina=ng  in  France,  the  Norman  conquest  linked  the  country  more  closely  with  con=nental  Europe,  lessened  Scandinavian  influence,  and  also  set  the  stage  for  a  rivalry  with  France  that  would  con=nue  intermi9ently  for  many  centuries.  It  also  had  important  consequences  for  the  rest  of  the  Bri=sh  Isles,  paving  the  way  for  further  Norman  conquests  in  Wales  and  Ireland,  and  the  extensive  penetra=on  of  the  aristocracy  of  Scotland  by  Norman  and  other  French-­‐speaking  families,  with  the  accompanying  spread  of  con=nental  ins=tu=ons  and  cultural  influences.
