FOUNDING BATTLE ABBEYy

The Battle of Hastings had

involved much bloodshed. Under pressure from religious

figures such as the pope, William needed to pay penance

for the violence and deaths that he was responsible for.

In 1070, he founded an abbey on the battlefield, positioning

the high altar on the spot where Harold had been killed.

 By calling it Battle Abbey, William was

also reminding everyone of his victory.
