Notes

Angelo saxtons were two german tribes combined together. Shires were like sheriffs, they collected their taxes. Alferd the Great was the first Angelo Saxton king, and Edward was the last. When Edward died, there was a war because there was no direct heir. Herald Godwadson was the brother in law of Edward. William the duke of Normany. They both wanted the throne. William was the cousin of Edward. The Battle of Hastings was the battle of who got the throne. William won and got the name William the Conqueror. He was the first to collect the census from ancient times. Census was used to tax you. They compiled the info into the domesday book. They called it the doomsday book because it was used to tax you. When he died William was replaced by Henry the 1st. Henry the 2nd replaced Henry the 1st. Henry the 2nd made some laws and Thomas Becket did not like them. Henry the 2nd said he wished Thomas Becket was dead. Three of this knights heard it and killed the Archibishop on Christmas Eve. This ruined Henrey's reign.
     King John, his son, succeeded him. He went to war with everyone. He had no money for the war so he taxed them. People of England met at Remmaneede. They came up with the Magna Carta. 1215 King John was forced to sign it. The Magna Carta made it so that King John could not collect any special taxes from the people without consent of the Great Council. It also made it so you could not just take someone's property without paying for it.
