What were William the Conqueror's great administrative feats?
William was the first monarch to have complete control of England. He installed feudalism which wasn't easy. For he had invaded England and was not seen as the rightful heir to everyone. He installed feudalism using Normans as the immediate upper class and Anglo-Saxons as the lower class. However, there was around 25,000 Normans and 2,000,000 Anglo-Saxons. The ratio definitely goes to the lower class, which was frightening to William. So this is when he constructed castles, to protect the upper class from the lower class. William also created the Doomsday book, which is basically a record of all things in England. This book would work into his taxation methods and turned out to be a very important historical reference.
