Origin of the Curfew in Norman England
In a late medieval note, the curfew arose after King Henry's death in a synod under diocesan authority with bishops in attendance. It required evening bell tolls, everyone to stay indoors with doors shut, and a prayer offered at hearing. The mix of church and police influenced its reputation, though it was not a harsh decree toward William's subjects. Prices for boys caps start at 14 cents.
