Notes

The Anglo's and the Saxon's came together to form England.
Shire's were people who collected taxes.
Alfred the Great was the first Anglo-Saxon King.
Edward the Confessor was the last Anglo-Saxon king.
Edward did not have an heir so there was going to be a war.
Herald Galdwerlson and the Duke of Normandy were two possible people to take it.
The battle Hastings and the Duke of Normandy won so hes was nicknamed William the Conqueror.
William wanted to take quick action so he collected a sensus, he was the first to do that.
The sensus would keep track of everything in your household, which led to your specific tax.
April 15th is tax day.
William was replaced by Henry the 1st.
He was replaced by Henry the 2nd.
Henry and his best friend Thimas Becket were arguing over Henry's idea on the church paying taxes like eveybody else. This conversation got very heated and after Thomas stormed out Henry said that he wished Thomas was dead, the three knights that were easedropping took it upon themselves to make his wishes come true. So they followed Thomas to a church where they stabbed him repeadedly on Christmas Eve.
John, Henry's son, sucseaded him.
King John was a very feisty leader who went to many wars. To go to war you need money, so he taxed the people of England 87%
England's people met at Runnyknee, where they came up with the Magna Carta.
King John had to sign it which led to our US constitutution.
The Magna Carta was and is a very important document in our law and there law system. It meant that the King had to abide by the law and the taxes could not be changed unless the proposal was changed.
