Answer 1

we don't know that's two hard were trying to find out the same thing..

Answer

He made a lot of changes. Here are a few of the more radical ones.

William took all the land in England then divided the country between himself, the church and 198 of his Barons.

He destroyed towns and villages in the south of England leaving thousands of people homeless and planted the new forest so he would have somewhere to fulfil his favourite past time of hunting deer.

When the people of Yorkshire protested against his occupation of England, he set his army to murder thousands of civilians men, women and children in town and villages in Yorkshire in what was known as 'The Harrying of the North' as a warning to any others who apposed his rule. So thorough was his army they even killed the livestock and destroyed crops. This left a whole swath of Yorkshire uninhabited for almost 200 years.

He build over 1000 Castels to suppress the population against further revolt particularly in Wales where they had previously resisted rule from the Anglo-Saxon's for hundreds of years.

He tried but failed to change England from an English speaking nation to a Norman-French speaking nation.

He was alienated from the Scotland where he became known as 'William the bastard'. King of Scotland Malcolm the III gave sanctuary to the last two remaining members of the English Royal family Edgar Ætheling and Margaret of Wessex who later became Malcolm's second wife and Queen of Scotland. Margaret was instrumental in granting Scottish lands to Norman barons making allies of potential invaders whilst consolidating her own otherwise vulnerable position. Later Henry II of England became the first descendant of William of Normandy as well as King Malcolm III vs. Queen Margaret of Scotland making him the first Anglo-Norman monarch descended from both the Conqueror and the House of Wessex.
