Established a central government through feudalism.
Explanation: After 1066 William imposed a Norman feudal system — he kept ultimate ownership of the land, granted estates to his followers in return for military service and oaths, and used writs and surveys (like the Domesday Book) to assert central control. He did not require people to speak English, he did not simply hand unchecked power to local (Anglo‑Saxon) nobles, and the Magna Carta was introduced much later (1215).
