He wouldnt. He made a very poor king, and was famous for how badly he treated the English, for instance in the Harrowing of the North. On his deathbed he admitted as much, saying "'I have cruelly oppressed them and ... killed innumerable multitudes by famine or the sword".
Resistance to Norman rule was widespread - another English king was crowned, and Hereward the Wake waged guerilla war against them in East Anglia, with the aid of England's ally Denmark, for a generation - while even after the harrowing, the north was never fully subjugated.
William was so despised that two centuries after, at the battle of Crecy - king Edward the third flew the White Dragon (Huitdraka) Banner as his battle standard - the banner of the king who fought William at Hastings.
