Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of the Norman Conquest of England, Vol. 2: Its Causes and Its Results
The fourth volume I shall devote to the reign of William in England. The Conquest, formally com pleted by his coronation, has now to be practically carried out throughout the land. The authority of William, already formally acknowledged, is gradually established over England; local resistance is over come the highest offices and the greatest landed estates throughout England are gradually transferred from natives to foreigners. Before William's death the work was thoroughly done, and the great Domes day Survey may be looked on as its record. The Conquest, in its immediate results, is now fully complete.
