FOUNDING BATTLE ABBEY
  • The Battle of Hastings had involved much bloodshed. 
  •  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.
