How was the government under William the Conqueror?

Under William the Conqueror, the government of England underwent significant transformation following the Norman Conquest of 1066. He established a centralized monarchy, asserting control over land and governance through the feudal system, which distributed land to loyal nobles in exchange for military service. The Domesday Book, commissioned by William in 1085, was a comprehensive survey that facilitated taxation and resource management. His rule emphasized strong royal authority, reducing the power of the Anglo-Saxon nobility and integrating Norman customs and governance practices.
