*The Anglo-Saxon concept came about during this time period.
*Shires-people who would collect there taxes (sherif)
*Alfred the Great was the first Anglo-Saxon. Edward the confessor was the last.
When Edward the confessar died there i going to be a war because he does not have a son or a brother. Harold Godwinthin was the brother in law of Edward, but he was english. The othere person who wanted the thrown was Willian the Duke of nurmerty, but he was from Nurmerty, France. But he was blloood related to Edward. This led to the Battle of Hasstly. It was basically over before it began. William kicked Harolds butt. he then got the nickname Willlian the conquer.
    When William took the thrown he wanted to take quick action with english men. he was the first to collect a census in those times. The census would come to ur house and keep track of how many animals and kids and people u had, and they would use it to tax you. He took all this information and piled it together in a book called the domesday book. They nicknamed it dooms day book.
  When willian dies he was reeplaced by Henry 1.   Henry 1 grandson was replaced by his gradon henry2.  Henry2 decide he was going to be like William and kick some butt. So firs he decided to change the law about the clergy not being held accountable for something. Thomas Backet and Henry 2 were BFFs. Thomas disagreed with Henry's changing of the church, so he decided he was going to go visit him and discuss it with him. They started argueing quickly. So Thomas stormed out and Henry mumbled I wish he would die. Henrys knights were listening through his door, the knight followed thomas to a church and stab him in the back on Christmas eve until he dies.
     John replaced him. He doesnt know how to be a leader. He wants to go to war with everyone. To go to war u need money so he decided to tax people very heavily(83) the people met at runnymeady because they were tired of it so they came up with the omata carta.
