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.
