Yes. He claimed all of the land, through The Battle of Hastings. BUT, HE HAD TO GIVE A SUM TO THE CHURCH, AND TO ALL THE BISHOPS AND BARONS, E.T.C, So overall he himself owned 25% that he could do anything he wanted to. But, the remaining 75% was rented/ given to different roles among the feudal system. Hope that helps!
