History of Modern Politics: William the Conqueror, Norman Rule of England and The Anarchy

Enjoy this special preview episode of my History of Modern Politics podcast with Matt Wittlief. Listen to all of the episodes now at HistoryOfModernPolitics.com.  William the Conqueror has taken the throne of England, and the consequences for the English are severe. Once he passes away, things deteriorate until Henry I takes the throne and unites Anglo-Norman and Anglo-Saxon England. Without an heir, the country descends into "the anarchy" upon his death, and we look forward to the House of Plantagenet.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
