Not all of the English liked William as there king , because he was a bad influence on people and their minds'. When he killed Harold Godwin at The Battle of Hastings , he treated Harold's dead body as a joke. First he stripped him from his clothes, then he dragged his nude body across the rough ground with a horse. After he chopped his limbs off his body, and after that no one actually knows what they did to the remains of him.
After Harold's defeat at the battle of Hastings ,Gytha(his mother) tried to buy his body from king William, offering to pay the weight of his body in gold. However the foreign king ignored this as if a couple of peasants' begging for money.
The Bayeux tapestry was constructed from eight separate pieces of linen which were joined to make up its length. It is approximately 70 metres long and half a metre wide. It is evident that at one stage it was even longer, probably by as much as seven or eight metres are missing. This particular tapestry provides the vital evidence for the cruelty and inhumanity towards the English king, Harold Godwin.
William duke of Normandy was also the prime suspect of murdering Edward the atheling who was the father of prince Edgar (one of the claimants to the English throne after the death of Edward the confessor). So the supporters and the followers of prince Edgar ,must have hated William , and would not accept at any condition for William to become their new king.
William had faced many rebellions during his reign in 1066 - 1087, Hereward the Wake was one of them. In 1070, Hereward led a rebellion against the new king ,William. By this time ,people had already tried many times to remove William. Hereward had joined forces with Edwin (the Earl of Mercia),Morcar(the Earl of Northumberland) and an army of Danes to fight against the Normans ,but they were eventually defeated by the Normans.
Another rebellion against William was led by Gytha, Harold Godwin's mother, which took place in 1068 in Exeter, Devon, which is where the Godwin family had a home. However these rebels were also crushed by William, and William gained control over Exeter and Devon. By spring 1070 William was in control, although there were other rebellions, none of them were as serious as the rebellions of 1067 and 1069.
The hate of William arose in the form of rebels
