William I Normandy
William's coronation took place in Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day 1066. He completed the establishment of feudalism in England, compiling detailed records of land and property in the Domesday Book, and kept the barons firmly under control. William's early years were marked by violence and disorder. William quickly besieged the rebel Arques-la-Bataille castle and it was surrendered to him in 1053. Harold was slain and William achieved a decisive victory. -
