William the Conqueror dealt with the people of Dover by asserting his authority and implementing strict control following his conquest of England in 1066.

By integrating Norman governance and land distribution, he aimed to secure stability and loyalty among the inhabitants. This approach helped to quell potential resistance and solidify his rule in the region.
