William, Duke of Normandy, invaded England in 1066, leading to significant changes in land ownership. Following his victory over King Harold II, William redistributed land among his supporters. The creation of the Domesday Book in 1086 recorded land ownership and resources in the realm. By the end of William's reign, Norman nobles held the majority of England's wealth and land. This transformed the English feudal structure and increased taxation efficiency.
