"The Normans say we can no longer hunt for meat. These new Norman forest laws say only the King and his lords are allowed to hunt deer and other animals. If you are caught with a weapon in the forest then they cut off two of your fingers to make sure you never go hunting with a bow again. The second time they put your eyes out.

William rebuilt cathedrals to make them larger. King William was very religious and gave a lot of money to the churches. Many of these Cathedrals are still standing, and are well known, today.

Salisbury Cathedral is one of twenty cathedrals that were built after the Battle of Hastings in 1066 when William the Conqueror seized control of England and Wales. It is built in the Early English Gothic style and has a simple layout in the shape of a cross.
