King William I's greatest concern immediately after his decisive victory at Hastings was to ensure he could consolidate power over all of England.

The young Edgar Atheling, who was briefly crowned king after King Harold II's death, surrendered to William along with the Archbishop of Canterbury Stigand. This meant that the south of England was secure, but William was faced with the problem of asserting his authority over a foreign population.

How did William assert his authority?

William let the Anglo-Saxon Earls of Mercia and Northumbria, Edwin and Morcar, keep their lands because they had not fought against William at Hastings. The only condition was that they accepted William's authority as king and as their feudal lord.

William transferred land ownership from the nobles who hadn't supported him to Norman barons who had. These were men he could trust and rely on.

The greatest change introduced after the conquest of 1066 was the introduction of the feudal system. Norman feudalism was different from the Anglo-Saxon system in one important way - King William owned all of the land . William could now decide who to lease the land to.

The feudal system

The system of giving land in exchange for duties had existed before the Norman Conquest but William confiscated land from Anglo-Saxons, which created a whole new power structure. Norman feudalism was based on royal strength.

The king owned all the land but gave some to the barons.

The barons had to fight for the king and train knights for him. The knights then received some land from the barons.

The villeins worked on the land for the knights and barons. They paid them taxes and gave them some of their crops, as well as fines if they broke the law.

Odo and FitzOsbern

The majority of Normans were not given large territories, with the exception of Odo and William FitzOsbern.

Background

Status after the conquest

Odo

Odo was King William's half brother. He was also the Bishop of Bayeux, he fought at Hastings and commissioned the Bayeux Tapestry to celebrate the conquest.

Odo became the Earl of Kent and grew very rich by seizing as much land as he could. King William trusted him and he ruled the south of England as a regent whilst the king was away in Normandy.

William FitzOsbern

FitzOsbern was related to King William and the two were close friends for many years. FitzOsbern was the brains behind the invasion - he ensured there were enough men and boats to conquer England.

FitzOsbern was a reliable military commander and he helped to consolidate King William's power in central and western England. FitzOsbern became the Earl of Hereford, Worcester, Gloucester and Oxfordshire amongst others. FitzOsbern acted as regent alongside Odo during the king's absence.
