The module explores the Norman Conquest of 1066, the Battle of Hastings, and the imposition of Norman power on Saxon England, focusing on castle building and the 'Harrying of the North'. It shows how the Norman kings consolidated their powerbase through control of the land, and how the Domesday Book was an instrument of this oppression.

An Outlaw was someone who had escaped capture and was wanted for a crime. If caught they could be executed. The most famous outlaw was Robin Hood. If he did exist, he was a man who fought with the Sheriff of Nottingham. He did not rob the rich to feed the poor.

4. Who was Hereward?
He was an Anglo Saxon who was unhappy that William (a Frenchman) had become king of England.
What options did he have? Make a list

5. What church reforms took place? Would they help or hinder- explain?
The church taught that killing in war was sinful or pay penance for the amount of people you killed.
In Williams case, having killed an unknown number, he would have to do penance for a day a week until he died.
There was an alternative thought- he could pay for a new church to be built.
Around 1070 William ordered the building of an abbey around the battle of Hastings site. Other knights did similar deeds by paying sums of money to existing monasteries or building fine stone churches on their lands.
Church resistance and reform: William worked with church cardinals to make important changes to the church from 1070 to improve its quality but also to use cardinals to tighten his political control and end resistance-
Main changes:
Stigand was finally replaced as archbishop of Canterbury
Other senior church leaders were replaced by Norman priests and monks.
William ordered all monasteries to provide men (or money instead) to serve the King as knights.

6. How do interpretations portray him. Why do they differ
How do interpretations portray him? Why do they differ? Analyse and evaluate
One of history's "greatest Englishmen" wasn't really English at all. Hereward the Wake, the guerrilla leader who fought William the Conqueror for five years from 1066, was, according to new research, a high-ranking Dane.
From a base in the Fens, Hereward led a war of resistance against the Normans until he was finally defeated in As an ethnic Dane, Hereward was intensely anti-Norman, probably even more so than many Anglo-Saxons.
He certainly met a bloody end in the popular Sixties dramatisation of his life by the BBC, in which he lost his head. In fact his fate is unknown for certain: he probably escaped into exile
