Shires- people that collected taxes
Alfred the Great- first anglosaxon king
Edward the Confessor- the second anglosaxon king
When ETC died there was supposed to be a war, because there was no ere for the throne. Harold Godmanson was an Englishman who was in line for thone, he was brother in law. William was the duke of Normandy, France but he lived from away. He should've got throne because he was blood-related(cousin). William won the battle, and was nicknamed William the Conqueror. Frenchman William, took the throne and was the first to collect a sinses. Instead of receiving money for sinses, they used it to tax people for their children and animals. Took all information and combined it into a book called Dombs Day Book. It's important because it was to them like our tax day. When William dies, he is replaced by Henry the 1st but Henry the 2nd eventually replaced him. Henry claims that the church should be held accountable for actions just like everyone else, but Thomas Becken disagreed. He thought the church should be seperate from the government, and when he visited William to explain his opinion to him they got into an argument. After they were both extremely mad, Thomas left and William said he wished he would just die. Two of his knights killed Thomas, and were put in prison. Later, Thomas became known as a saint. Some people were taxed as high as 87%. People of England met at the town of Runningneed. They developed one of the greatest documents in history, called the Magna Carta. King was forced to sign the document. The Maga Carta became a cornerstone in history. Its original purpose was to limit the kin's power and protect the nobles feudal rights. It allowed a group to be able to empower king if he violated conditions.
