The normans HAD to act very brutal around York - remember that most of that area was inhabited by (pagan) danes, probably very hostile to both the way the normans ruled and the new religion. A strange situation in fact when considering that the normans were essentially distant cousins of the inhabitants of the dane-law, both having origins in Denmark and Norway.

This guy is a Norman propagandist since he's married to the duke of westminsters daughter. The Norman invasion was funded by the city of London ( Square mile ) approved by the church. It was a medieval communist takeover were almost everyone became a tenant and ownership almost completely disappeared except a few . The church wanted England to be exactly like the rest of catholic Europe as far as Christianity is concerned. So basically Britain has been under occupation since 1066 , look up the Fabian society.

William the conqueror was a beast

“Self-sufficient” and “pure-living”, because they had three servants (lay brothers) for every aristocratic monk. These hardly were self-sacrificing communities, the “choir monks”, after buying their places in the abbey with “donations”, lived a life of luxury. Their only duties were a bit of chanting and praying, all their physical needs were provided for by the lay brothers, and the donations of the common poor, whose only reward was in heaven.

True, most of these high ranked monks were second or third sons of landlords and instead of being murdered by the principal heir they were given the chance to become monks , bringing with them a 'dowry' and a yearly alowance. The common people of the region were forced to work indirectly for the monasteries. Landlords owned the quarries where these villagers worked for free from 90 till 120 days a year , as a tax to the landlord, him being able to give for free or at a rediculist price selling the stones , this was also the case for the workers building these churches, abbeys aso. And when they finally could earn some small money they partially were paid with food which they gratefully accepted as they therefor had no time to work their fields ( 90-120 days off).Abbeys made their incomes partly from taxing merchants and tradesmen which right was given by the landlord/baron/king aso. Some could claim even workers from the village . Edith Pargeter known as Ellis Peeters ( Cadfaël stories) wrote an interesting novelle ' Heaven Tree Trilogy' in which many of these attitudes come forward. An other great writer on these periods is Helene Nolthenius ( IT) . England or Italy there are few differences. There is a lot to find about the conditions in this period. And off course there were common monks, their lifes were totally different as theirs superiors. But still had a better life then common men in this feudal system. Seeing such documentaries make me think about the hard labour workers have put into it , yet, narrators allways tell how monks , lords aso build this and that , ... saddening .

Excellent point. We are so conditioned to see these preening farts as so austere and pious when they are simply living off a heavenly dole at the expense of people who could really use those worldly goods.

I don’t believe the stories of fields ruined by sowing them with salt. Until the modern use of mining machines, salt was an expensive commodity. The Romans said they destroyed the agricultural potential of Carthage this way, and every brutalized people repeat this unlikely tale. The Normans did plenty of damage in the Harrowing, including killing all livestock and burning every structure they could find, they didn’t waste thousands of tons of expensive salt. If I were from this area, I’d be unforgiving, too, many of their ancestors were murdered, directly or indirectly. William had a lot of terrible sins on his conscience, building churches couldn’t wipe it clean. He was a brute.

@lampad4549

The people from this area are no longer the people from this area, who could they possibly be unforgiving towards, they probably wont be able to forgive themselves. Their ancestors of the people in that area at the time of the norman invasion probably killed a bunch of celts, vikings, angles or saxons. Just sin was committed against their ancestors doesn't mean the ancestors themselves are without their own sin.

Yarvik was the Norse spiritual capital…of York .. with the Norse energy of the Normans.

York was always the centre of military and political power in Northern England since the days of the Romans, who founded the city in the 70s AD. The Normans only built on top of ancient Roman accomplishments.

Their great grandsons harried the English again in 1776. The Tidewater Aristocracy.

Well 🤷🏽‍♂️ if you ask the men that were just sliding by farming, suddenly killed by William the conquerer, they probably would have a lot of names to call William. None good.

Soft power. The Normans were wise enough to build up and replace what they knocked down, and they used religion and the abbey system to deepen their hold on the Northern parts of their kingdom. The violent campaign of suppression gave them physical control, but turning to a strategy of soft power gave them legitimacy. And no doubt the economic expansion benefited their coffers-they didn’t give away all their lands to the monks.
