| The Harrying of the North | The Harrowing of the North was a scorched earth policy in the winter of 1069-1070 carried out by the subordinates of William of Normandy against the Danes of Jorvik. The death toll is believed to be 150,000, with substantial social, cultural and economic damage. It began when William refused to acknowledge the right of the local population to self-determination.
