Anglo- Saxon England and the Norman Conquest, 1060-1066
1.1 Anglo- Saxon society Key topic 1: Anglo- Saxon England and 1.2 The last years of Edward the Confessor and the succession crisis the Norman Conquest, 1060-1066 1.3 The rival claimants for the throne 1.4 The Norman invasion The first key topic is focused on the final years of Anglo-Saxon England, covering its political, social and economic make-up, as well as the dramatic events of 1066. While the popular view is often of a barbarous Dark-Ages kingdom, students should recognise that in reality Anglo-Saxon England was prosperous and well governed. They should understand that society was characterised by a hierarchical system of government and they should appreciate the influence of the Church. They should also be aware that while Edward the Confessor was pious and respected, real power in the 1060s lay with the Godwin family and in particular Earl Harold of Wessex. Students should understand events leading up to the death of Edward the Confessor in 1066: Harold Godwinson’s succession as Earl of Wessex on his father’s death in 1053 inheriting the richest earldom in England; his embassy to Normandy and the claims of disputed Norman sources that he pledged allegiance to Duke William; his exiling of his brother Tostig, removing a rival to the throne. Harold’s powerful rival claimants – William of Normandy, Harald Hardrada and Edgar – and their motives should also be covered. Students should understand the range of causes of Harold’s eventual defeat, including the superior generalship of his opponent, Duke William of Normandy, the respective quality of the two armies and Harold’s own mistakes.

INTRODUCTION Anglo-Norman England Has Long Been a Fertile
INTRODUCTION Anglo-Norman England has long been a fertile subject for the study of medieval military history. Its preeminence is due in large measure to the events of 14 October 1066, during which William, duke of Normandy, wrested control of England away from Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings. The result was a wave of changes that permanently altered the land of the Anglo-Saxons. Many of these changes directly influenced the methods by which the English crown conducted warfare, including the advent of a baronage and the importation of a feudal system of military obligation, both introduced after William’s coronation on Christmas 1066. William brought a policy of conquest and domination to England that defied compar- ison to the former Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. The Old English kings fought primarily defensive battles to preserve the Heptarchy against Viking and Danish expansion from the ninth to the eleventh century. In these endeavors the Saxons were only partially successful; the strong West Saxon-Kentish state built by Alfred (879–899) grew to include lands in the uncertain regions of Northumbria and Mercia, but the advent of the Danelaw and the return of Viking invasions in the late tenth century eroded the stability of the country. By the eleventh century Edward the Confessor (1042–1066) and his earls were struggling to maintain England’s borders in the rebellious west and north. In the years after Hastings, William solidified his reign through military operations such as the 1070 ‘harrying of the north’ with the Scots, as well as diplomatic moves that gained him the fealty of Welsh princes in 1081.

Northallerton 1138
English Heritage Battlefield Report: Northallerton 1138 Northallerton or 'The Standard' (22 August 1138) Parishes: Brompton; Northallerton District: Hambleton County: North Yorkshire Grid Ref: SE360977 (centred on battlefield monument) Historical Context The Battle of Northallerton, or The Standard, was fought in August 1138 as a consequence of King David I of Scotland's attempt to profit by the troubles attending King Stephen's rule in England. Stephen had seized the throne on the death of King Henry I in 1135 but much of the country preferred to recognise the late King's designated successor, his daughter the Empress Matilda. Baronial revolt was widespread and Stephen was fully occupied near Bristol when, in July 1138, David of Scotland made his third and largest incursion of the year into England. As an uncle of the disinherited Matilda King David was ostensibly acting in her interest, but it was widely believed that the Scots king harboured an ambition to annex Northumberland. Resistance to Scottish depredations was organized by Archbishop Thurstan of York, the King's Lieutenant in the north who made the task of repelling the Scots a holy crusade. It was because he was so successful in raising an army that the ecclesiastical chroniclers, who provide us with most of our information about Norman England, took a particular interest in the Northallerton campaign. This ensured that the Battle of the Standard and the events that preceded it were remarkably well-documented. Thurstan's army gathered at York and then marched north to Thirsk. From there two barons rode on to try to negotiate with King David.

Hutus began slaughtering the Tutsi. Hundreds of thousands were killed—the preferred method of execution being the machete, as ammunition was too expensive and difficult to come by. Rape, mutilation, and the deliberate spread of disease were also used as tools of terror.
