The Harrying of the North was a series of campaigns waged by William the Conqueror.
In the winter of 1069-1070, the English Nobles had revolted and William was ruthless in putting down the revolt in the North. Thousands were killed and William ordered towns, villages, crops, and livestock to be slaughtered. Of the survivors, many suffered extreme hardship in the following years and there was much starvation. Many people resorted to eating horses, cats, and dogs in order to survive.
