what happened after hastings?
after the battle of hastings, william still had to conquer england. he marched from hastings, crossing the thames at wallingford, and then on towards london. at berkhamsted he received the surrender of the city. william took hostages to ensure that the surrender was kept. william wanted to be crowned king as soon as possible. his coronation took place on christmas day, 1066. it was held at westminster abbey, which had been built by edward the confessor. during the coronation, as the people inside the abbey shouted out their acceptance of william, the troops outside thought a fight had broken out. fearing that william had been attacked, they began to set fire to saxon houses. as the norman soldiers could not understand the language of the saxons, and the saxons could not understand the language of the normans, it was difficult for them to communicate.
