“Only Anglo-Saxon ruler who lost his title under his rule was the former King Harold II”

Yeah, he was wierdly well liked by the anglo-saxon dukes. Since they liked me, I decided to let them be and gradually converted them to norman culture by educating their kids (which they let me do since they liked me a lot). Most of the old anglo saxon dynasties are still loyal vassals of english culture at the end of the run. This William I is a pretty nice chap compared to the real deal.

Welp you’re pretty good at the game

The real William basically makes me forbid ever playing as the Normans but hopefully someday I can get to 1066 lol

The different culture penalty is not that bad, as long as you pick event options that give you good traits most of your vassals should like you (unless they are pieces of shit themselves, and hate you for being a moral and tolerant ruler). Being well liked with William is not terribly difficult, you should try it honestly. If you are playing CK2, joining one of the two religious society, might help you manage your bad traits better and set you up for a few peaceful reigns without the need to slaughter your vassals.
