Following the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, the Anglo-Saxon populace mounted several resistance efforts against William the Conqueror's rule. These uprisings were driven by widespread resentment towards the oppressive methods employed by Norman authorities and the displacement of Anglo-Saxon landholders.

In 1067, Eadric 'The Wild' led one of the earliest rebellions in Herefordshire, collaborating with Welsh princes to raid Norman positions. The most significant insurrection occurred between 1069 and 1070 in Northern England, where local leaders, including Edgar Atheling, allied with Danish forces to challenge Norman control.

William responded with the 'Harrying of the North,' a brutal campaign that devastated the region and quelled resistance. Another notable figure, Hereward the Wake, spearheaded guerrilla warfare from the Isle of Ely in East Anglia around 1070-1071, symbolising the enduring Anglo-Saxon defiance.

Despite these efforts, the superior military organisation and harsh reprisals of the Normans eventually subdued the uprisings, leading to the consolidation of Norman authority over England.
