Key words: genocide = the deliberate and organised killing of a very large group of people especially those of one nationality or religion Harrying = to completely destroy Genocides Can you think of Can you think of any genocides in any genocides History? happening now? Al-Anfal Genocide In Iraq against Kurdish people. The campaign was led by Saddam Hussein’s cousin, Ali Hassan al- Majid, whose use of mustard gas, sarin, and VX nerve gas among other substances earned him the nickname “Chemical Ali.” It is estimated that more than 180,000 Kurds were killed. Chemical Ali was captured by the American military and executed for war crimes, including his role in the Kurdish genocide. Rwandan genocide People in Rwanda were split into 2 groups the Hutu and Tutsi. The Tutsi were generally wealthier. The Tutsi people ruled over the Hutus until the 1990s when a revolt began. 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. Native Americans Were wiped out in the years from 1492 when Europeans discovered the ‘New World’ or America. They took the natural resources that the Natives had lived off and brought & some say deliberately infected them with European diseases like smallpox that wiped them out. The Holocaust From 1933 when Hitler became chancellor of Germany the Jews were persecuted. This is called anti-Semitism. Rights were taken away gradually throughout the 1930s and at the end of the decade the Jews were herded into ghettos, and eventually shuttled in train cars to concentration and death camps, where they were murdered and tortured in the most inconceivable fashion. By 1945, when the camps were liberated, at least six million Jews had been killed. Reasons for the Harrying of the North a) William acting out of anger b) William acting strategically ( it was part of his strategy to keep power & prevent rebellion) Reasons: • Earl of Northumbria Robert Cumin was killed and thousands more Normans were killed in York, William swore revenge. • William was frustrated with the constant rebellions. • William was angry at the English leaders for not accepting him as king and for not being grateful that he had allowed them to keep their land and titles. • The northern rebels would not have an open battle with William. They scattered every time he advanced (moved forward towards them). Then would they launch surprise attacks on the Normans as soon as William went away to deal with rebellions elsewhere. William wanted to make it impossible for any rebels to remain in the area therefore he had to ‘harry’ the land. • The North of England was very different to the south. They hated Norman rule. Many wanted a Danish King. William realised he would have to put in place a harsh strategy to get them under control. They would not come onto his side unless he forced them to. • The rebellions in the North were triggering rebellions in other parts of the country. William had to crush it there and then using violent methods otherwise he would lose power. • He needed to punish the rebels so that others would not dare follow in their foot steps. • He needed to completely destroy the north otherwise the Danes would come back and get support from those in the north and start another rebellion. CHALLENGE: Order the reasons from 1-9 showing which you think was the most – least important reason for William.

For example in Garforth, Leeds the value of the area in 1066 was 60 shillings, it was worth only 30 around 1086. Headingley was worth 40 shillings in 1066 and only 4 shillings in 1086.

  • 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.
