lots of castles being built, high geld taxes, land being taken away as well as people not liking some people in power such as William FitzOsbern and Odo of Bayeux as they were taking land and allowing rape 

what were some causes of the revolt in 1068

not only was his earldom reduced in size but he was also unable to marry Williams daughter which he had originally been promised her hand in marriage 

how did William put an end to the revolt 

they were pardoned and kept as guests in Williams Court where they could be kept under his control 

he decided to put Robert Cumin in charge of the North as he was a Norman 

what did William decide would be best after the revolt 

that castles were a very effective method for William to maintain control of England 

this was due to the fact people didn't like Robert Cumin and therefore he was killed and then Edgar Aethling joins in William quickly settles it down though and places FitzOsbern in charge 

why was there an uprising in early 1069 on Durham and York 

the Danes invade and attack the Norman's being supported by some Anglo-Saxons who started with guerrilla warfare therefore not only does William decide to pay off the Danes he also comes up with the solution of the harrying of the North although this has lots of consequences 

what was the cause of the harrying of the North in 1069

in 1070 the Danes invade again this time joined by Hereward to raid Peterborough Abbey then the Danes returned to Denmark whilst Morcar decided to help Hereward defend Ely from the Norman's however they were deleted and although Morcar was captured, Hereward managed to get away
