1066 was the year that The Battle of Hastings and the Battle of Stamford Bridge took place. There was also a struggle for the English throne and men were mainly fighting to become king. There were 6 earldoms and Earls were in charge of them. In 1066 the population was 1.5million and there were only 7 towns in England, London the largest. Most people worked as farmers, because only 2% of the people in England were rich. Every single person had to be a Christian otherwise they had to be sent to a different country, because the law was extremely strict. William of Normandy defeated Harold with a luck shot and became king of England.
