The Harrying of the North
• The Harrying of the north was a series
of campaigns conquered by William the
Conqueror in 1069 to subjugate
northern England. He destroyed every
village that presented opposition to him.
16/12/15
• After the Norman
conquest William the
Conqueror ordered the
construction or rebuilding
of many important famous
buildings in London, like
the Tower of London or
Westminster Abbey,
where it’s still kept the
throne where William was
crowned King.
• French became the
language of prestige in the
court, so the English
language was influenced by
French for a long time.
