William I, also known as William the Conqueror, increased his power in England by defeating King Harold II at The Battle of Hastings in 1066, which led to his coronation as king. He implemented the feudal system, redistributing land to his loyal Norman followers while displacing Anglo-Saxon nobility, thus securing their loyalty. Additionally, he commissioned the Domesday Book in 1086, a comprehensive survey of his realm, which strengthened his control over resources and taxation.
