Answer to Question #99466 in History for Seyed Mostafa Mousavi

Question

Explain why William was able to maintain power after 1066?

Answer 1

 In 1066 William allowed the Anglo-Saxon Earls who had offered him support in the war to retain their land but transferred land from the nobles and gave it to Normans Barons who were more trustworthy. They thus supported. He also adopted feudalism, having control over all land and hence he was able to lease land to whoever he liked
