William I was proclaimed King of England in Westminster Abbey in 1066. Despite a great victory at the Battle of Hastings, the Normans had great difficulty keeping control with only 10,000 Normans among one to two million hostile Anglo-Saxons. As a result the Normans had to build many castles from which to dominate the local people.

As Henry I lay dying, Stephen, his nephew, rushed from France to London and secured the throne instead of Henrys chosen heirs. After about 2 years Robert of Gloucester defected and Stephen lost his grip on Normandy. A long civil was resulted. Stephens son died before taking the throne and the crown passed on to Henry Plantagenet.
