As Duke of Normandy, William was the overlord of the Norman barons. These men were considered the Duke's vassals and were obligated to take up arms and provide soldiers and supplies for him in any conflict or war he became involved in. The invasion of England also brought the promise of spoils of war---money, properties and titles taken by William, who would then reward those men who had assisted him.
