What was king Williams relationship like with the barons?

King William I, also known as William the Conqueror, had a complex relationship with the barons after his conquest of England in 1066. He granted lands and titles to his loyal supporters, establishing a feudal system that tied the barons to him through loyalty and service. However, the barons often felt a tension between their newfound power and William's authoritative rule, leading to occasional unrest and rebellion. Overall, while he relied on the barons for support, he maintained a firm grip on power to prevent any challenges to his authority.

Why was William the conqueror ridiculed by the barons?

William the Conqueror faced ridicule from the barons primarily due to his abrupt transition from Duke of Normandy to King of England after his successful invasion in 1066. Many barons viewed him as an outsider and resented his imposition of Norman customs and governance over the Anglo-Saxon nobility. Additionally, his heavy taxation and the redistribution of land to his Norman followers alienated many of the existing English nobility, leading to discontent and mockery. This tension ultimately contributed to ongoing resistance against his rule.
