England had many rulers that made England stronger, but one of the most influential leaders was King William I, The Conqueror. He single handedly united England, instituted a new series of taxes, centralized power, and created the basis for the Common Law Courts.
Assuming you mean William I of England, he came to power in 1066. He is known as William the Conqueror because he defeated Harold (a nobleman who had strong claims to the throne) at the Battle of Hastings. William was from Normandy (in France ) when Edward (The king of England pre-1066) died without an heir. William had lineage claims going back for a few generations (I think that they shared a grandmother, or great grandmother) so he invaded England and took over the crown. All monarchs have since descended from him.
The Domesday Book was useful to William the Conqueror because it provided a comprehensive survey of his newly conquered kingdom's lands, resources, and wealth. This allowed him to effectively administer and tax the territories under his control, ensuring his power and authority over England.
William the Conqueror destroyed houses and crops in England following his victory in the Norman Conquest of 1066 to establish control and suppress resistance. This strategy, particularly evident during the Harrying of the North in 1069-70, aimed to instill fear and deter rebellion among the English population. By devastating the land, he sought to consolidate his power and ensure the loyalty of his new subjects through a demonstration of strength. Ultimately, this brutal tactic was intended to secure Norman rule over England.
