The young monarch was unable to resist the invaders and was never crowned. William was crowned King William I of England on Christmas Day 1066, in Westminster Abbey, and is today known as William the Conqueror.
Very different from today - that's for sure. There were far fewer people living in England, and large parts of the country were covered by woods.
There were no castles and not many stone buildings. Some churches and monasterial buildings were fashioned from stone, but most of the houses - even grand ones - were made from timber.
There were some large-ish towns - London, York, Winchester, Southampton, Canterbury - but mainly people lived in villages or on farms. There was trade, but many villages were still self-sufficient, only relying on the traders for luxury items.
Families stuck together, especially if they farmed land.
All free-born men could be called on to go to war when their overlord needed them. They had to bring their own weapons - shield, axe, spear, sword and any armour they could afford. Anglo-Saxon warriors usually fought on foot in a shield wall. Horses were only used as transport to get to the battle.
Most people would not have been able to read or write. Noble children, and those whose family engaged in trade, were taught reading, writing, maths and Latin. Some Anglo-Saxon nobles also learnt Norman French and travelled to the courts of Normandy.
England had a very efficient government. The country was divided into Hundreds, a little like today's counties. Leaders of each Hundred formed a council and met regularly to discuss problems and issue fines for transgressions. There was one currency across all of England, and the king's officers collected taxes and kept records.
Compared to some other parts of Europe, England was a very well established, well-run, rich and prosperous country. No wonder William the Conqueror braved the English channel and a war to get his hands on it.
Hope this helps
