- 3. The Consequences of the 1088 rebellion
- Lasted nearly 6 months
- Showed William 'Rufus' was formidable military exponent and strong leader of England
- He showed military prowess and political skill defeating rebels
- Revealed aptitude for dealing with castle defences
- Which gave warning to those nobles who may have had ideas about setting up independent dukedoms with their fortresses as centre
- Rebellion also indicated to King his position was not totally secure
- He needed to be on his guard against further challenges to his authority
- Banishing 'many French men' involved in rebellion and taking away their property was clear deterrent to other potential rebels
- However, no guarantee kingdom would remain stable
- From 1088 to end of reign, William Rufus's England was relatively peaceful place to live.
- But few instances of further unrest, especially in mid-1090s
