City of London, Tower of London.

King Edward of England was looking out the window at William and the Normans in triumphant costumes, looking unusually melancholy.

Edward had been under house arrest in the Tower of London for almost a year, and he had no power, no nobles waiting by his side, and no freedom.

In the past, when the Godwin family was in power, Edward could still rely on the northern princes who supported him and the nobles who were loyal to him to wrestle with the Godwin family, and was able to be independent on certain issues, but now he has nothing, he is a rubber stamp in William's hand, a puppet, and nothing else.

Edward was so remorseful that he should not have taken William's promise to settle the Goldwin family by introducing William and the Normans into England.

After defeating the Godwin, William directly forced him to give William the Godwin family's territory, and then ordained himself as the heir through the Council of the Magi.

In order to rebel against William, Edward used various methods, but to no avail.

The reason why the alliance of the northern princes was able to be formed so quickly this time was inseparable from Edward's support.

He made contact with Duke Leofrick and Duke Sword through secret channels, and instructed them to lead the alliance against William.

Unfortunately, the Duke of Ioveric and the Duke of Sword, who had high hopes from Edward, failed, and the two major principalities of Mercia and Northumbria in England were pacified, and the counties of the Northland fell into the hands of the Normans.

Looking around the Kingdom of England, Edward could not find any nobles who could raise an army against William's rule, not even Godwin, Earl of Cornwall, who had secretly linked up with Duke Leofrick. Cornwall didn't dare to squeak again.

"There's no hope......"

Edward thought to himself. It was not that he did not think of finding other countries to send troops to expel William from England, but the kingdom of England had always been closed, and the only countries that had close communication with England were Normandy and Flanders, as well as Norway and Denmark, which had invaded England.

Normandy was William's territory, he already occupied England, and the Duchy of Flanders was also occupied by William after most of the territory could only survive, and there was no spare energy to help him.

Eventually, Edward thought of the Vikings who had invaded England, and he had brokered an alliance between the northern princes and the Vikings, hoping to use the power of the Vikings to defeat William, or at least the Normans.

However, things always turned out unexpectedly, as far as he knew, because of the unexpected death of King Magnus of Norway and Denmark, Harald the 'Heartless' and Swain. Illivan inherited the crowns of Norway and Denmark, respectively, and both blamed themselves for assassinating King Magnus and attacked each other in an attempt to claim another crown.

With such a turn of events, it was impossible for the Vikings to attack William.

No nation or prince could help Edward, which was why he was so depressed, as if life had lost its joys, and for him life was no longer fun.

"Your Majesty, it's time to dine."

There was a knock at the door, and a servant was waiting outside.

Edward opened the door and saw this Norman servant, and his face immediately fell.

Edward's original servants and attendants were all expelled by William, and then these people were replaced by Normans, who were all the eyes that William placed on his side, keeping an eye on his every move.

"No need, I don't have an appetite, you go down." With that, Edward turned and closed the door.

In the past few days, Edward has not eaten well, and his body is losing weight day by day, which attracted William's attention, and he specially sent his proud court chef to cook a table of food for Edward.

However, when William's court cook served Edward food, Edward regarded it as poison, a poison that could kill people.

Edward's speculation was not unfounded, William had removed all obstacles to his path to the throne of England, and now the only one standing in his way was himself, the king of Wessex, who still held the throne of England.

"I guess William would love to get rid of himself, but don't do it in such a despicable way, it's disgusting!" Edward speculated maliciously.

Edward rejected the food that the Norman chef had cooked for him, refusing to eat again, and he rebelled against William with an act of hunger strike.

However, in William's opinion, Edward's behavior was so childish and ridiculous that he could not change anything at all by doing so.

However, William could not let Edward die on a hunger strike, at least not now, as the news of Edward's death from hunger strike came out, and the Kingdom of England would definitely start a riot.

William had never underestimated the influence of King Alfred and the Wickses dynasty in the Kingdom of England, so he could not let Edward's death have anything to do with him.

Because it would give William's enemies a reason and an excuse to attack him, he didn't want to fall into the endless rebellion.

Despite his reluctance, William sent a trusted Anglo-Saxon to serve as Edward's full-time cook, and in order to keep the Anglo from falling to Edward, William also had his family in his hands so that he could feel at ease.

William took care of King Edward and some of the affairs of the city of London, and led his army back to Winchester, the capital of England, in Wessexshire.

The influence of the city of London on William was oppressive and resistant, and there were always English people in the city who rebelled against William, who usually did not show it, but their first was still keenly perceived by William.

Only Winchester, a Norman city under William's complete control, could reassure him.

William feared that he would be assassinated by the English, and he remembered very well the deaths of several Norman monarchs throughout history, including the actions of hateful English.

Perhaps the most memorable figure of William II Hoover, the heir to King William I of England, while hunting in the New Forest, is perhaps the most memorable of his death. He was shot through the heart with an arrow. But the true state of affairs is still unknown.

One day in August 1100, William Hoover organized a safari in the New Forest, and Audrick Vitalis described in detail the preparations for the hunt: a sergeant major prepared six arrows for Hoover. The king quickly took up the arrows with joy, praised the work of the sergeant-major, and took four for himself. The remaining two arrows were given to Walter Thiel...... said: "It stands to reason that the sharpest arrow should be given to those who can hit it with one arrow."

Later in the hunt, the hunters went on a hunt for their prey and were assigned to Walter Tyre's ranks. Sir Poix was isolated from the rest of the people, and this was William Hoover's last appearance before the rest of his life.

The next day, William Hoover was discovered by a large group of peasants. Lying in the woods, an arrow hit the lungs. William's body was abandoned by the nobles where he fell, because they had to rush back to their fiefdoms in England and Norman, either by law or custom, to secure their own domains.

Legend has it that they were left in the local charcoal house, where a charcoal burner called Phuket pulled the king's body in his own cart to Winchester Cathedral.

For centuries, rumours of Wilhelm II's murder have been repeated, and historians believe that such a mistake could not have been made by a sharpshooter like Walter.

A piece called "Hoover Rock" was erected in the place where he is said to have fallen off his horse and died. The inscription on Hoover Stone reads as follows:

"Under this oak tree, an arrow from Sir Walter Tell to the buck struck William II (born Hoover) in the chest, and it was because of this arrow that the king died violently. On August 2, 1100, William II (Hoover) was brutally killed. As previously written, it was placed in a cart and transported from here to Winchester, where it was finally buried in the city's cathedral. ”

This history is fresh in William's memory, and his wariness of the English was not without cause.
