How William the Conqueror Broke England (1067–1087)

Описание: The Battle of Hastings was not the end of the war. It was just the beginning of the occupation. This is the dark, untold story of how William the Conqueror turned a rebellious kingdom into a medieval police state.

Most history books stop in 1066. But the real conquest of England took twenty years of brutal pacification. From the devastating scorched-earth campaigns of the North to the chilling surveillance of the Domesday Book, William didn't just rule England—he broke it.

In this feature-length documentary, we explore the chaotic years of 1067–1120. We investigate the construction of the Norman castle network, the collapse of the Conqueror's dynasty, the suspicious "hunting accident" of William Rufus, and how the trauma of this occupation gave birth to the legend of Robin Hood.
