William punished people so badly because he was so angry with all the rebellions happening against him. He killed many people and destroyed their crops so no one could make a living. Many people starved and no one was happy.

What caused the 'Harrying of the North?
The Harrying of the North (Harrowing of the North) is basically the destruction of the North. This happened because around 1069 William the Conqueror introduced taxes to the Kingdom of England. The people of the North (of Saxon and Viking ancestry) could not afford to be paying the taxes and didn't want to be paying them therefore they began to rebel against William. As a leader, King William II could not afford any rebellions, especially with them being the closest descendants to the previous Vikings and Saxons that owned the Kingdom before he did. William knew that in order to keep control of England he had to have no rebels and had to set an example to those who dare disobey him, resulting in the Harrying. William sent soldiers North to destroy all in the area, people guilty and innocent of rebelling were murdered by the sword of Williams soldiers, land was burnt so no crops could grow for some time after and livestock was killed so those that survived died of famine. This was the beginning of Alan (The Red) Rufus' watch over Yorkshire as his loyalty to William throughout his reign and the Harrying meant that he received the Honour of Richmond. Hope this helped. ;)
