The Harrying of the North was a brutal campaign conducted by William the Conqueror in 1069-1070 aimed at subduing northern England after a series of rebellions against Norman rule. This military campaign involved widespread destruction, including the burning of homes, crops, and livestock, leading to severe famine and suffering among the local population. The campaign was intended to assert Norman authority and discourage further resistance, and it significantly impacted the social and economic landscape of the region. The harrying left a lasting legacy of resentment toward Norman rule in northern England.
