Surnamed the Bastard, seventh duke of Normandy, natural son of Robert the sixth duke of Normandy, by Arlotta, a tanner's daughter, claimed the crown of England, as the gift of the late king Edward, surnamed the Confessor. After the battle of Hastings, William retired to Romney (October 15), and then tor Dover, which he besieged and took, and strengthened the fortifications; after which he marched to London, and in his way was met by the deputies from Kent, who came to make their submission and demand the preservation of their ancient privileges. He arrived near London, but found the inhabitants inclined to resist him, which obliged him to post himself at Wallingford, and from thence he sent out detachments to cut off all supplies of provisions from the country to London, and his forces wasted the counties of Sussex, Kent, Surry, Hampshire, Middlesex and Hertfordshire, quite to Berkhamstead, which obliged the Londoners to submit to him. William Fitz Osborne created earl of Hereford and lord of Wight. He was the first earl created in England. Edgar Atheling heir to the crown, and the nobility submit to William. Dec. 25. William the Conqueror crowned king at Westminster. 1067. William erected Battle-abbey, to perpetuate his victory over Harold, and exempted it from ecclesiastical jurisdiction. Forts erected in London, Norwich, Winchester, Hereford, Hastings and Dover, and filled with Normans to keep possession of the kingdom. Sept. 20. The English disarmed and their militia broke. William committed the care of England to his half-brother Oda, bishop of Bayeux, and William Fitz Osborne, lately created earl of Hereford, and returned to Nor mandy; in the mean time England is oppressed by his lieutenants, which occasions several rebellions. Eustace of Bologne landed at Dover in November, at the invitation of the English, to redress their grievances; but he was defeated, and other attempts of the English to recover their liberty rendered abortive. Dec. 6. William returned to England and prevented a revolt. 1068, April 3. Re-established the tax of Danegelt, which occasioned an opposition at Exeter, where lived the mother of Harold the late king, which William besieged in person, and reduced to terms. He built a strong citadel in it, and filled it with a garrison. In this city he passed his Easter, and thither his queen went to him, and was crowned the Whitsuntide following. This year is remarkable for the many castles that were built, viz. Nottingham, York, Lincoln, Huntingdon, Cambridge and Durham. Edgar Atheling, and his sisters, Margaret and Christian, retire to Scotland. Malcolm, king of Scotland, married the princess Margaret. The English required to put out their fire and candle at eight every evening, on the ringing of the curfew bell, and were obliged to deliver up their arms. 1069, Jan. 8, King William distributed the lands of England among the Normans ; several insurrections occasioned by it in the north of England this year, when 7000 of William's forces were slain. Matilda his queen retired to Normandy, as a place of greater safety. The Scots, in behalf of Edgar Atheling, advanced as far as York, where they slew 3000 Normans, but were defeated by king William, who laid waste all the north, insomuch that between York and Durham the towns were uninhabited, and the lands uncultivated for above nine years, which oc |
