The Harrying of the North was a military campaign conducted by William the Conqueror in 1069-1070 to suppress rebellion and resistance in Northern England following his conquest of the country. After the North, particularly York, rose against Norman rule, William sought to decisively crush this opposition. The campaign involved widespread destruction of land, crops, and livestock, leading to famine and suffering among the local population. This brutal tactic aimed to instill fear, deter further rebellions, and consolidate Norman control over England.
