The Normandy army of tens of thousands of people was divided into two routes, one large and one small, led by Duke Robert and William the Earl of Eburg, respectively, and divided into two arrows to attack Paris.

Empress Constance and Henry I's brother Rabe, who had occupied Paris, were powerless to resist the two Normandy armies that were rushing in, and the thousands of troops they had arranged to garrison in various castles only bought them a few days, which did little to help the tide of the war.

In a hurry, the Empress Dowager Constance and Her Royal Highness Rabes were able to summon less than 5,000 troops from all over the territory to garrison Paris, and in the face of the Normans besieging Paris, the two appeared panicked and mishandled.

Constance and Rabe's poor performance caused the nobles who leaned towards them to begin to waver, and the timely appearance of His Majesty Henry I made them move closer to Henry I who had been inclined to His Royal Highness the Queen and His Royal Highness Rabe.

Aware of this situation, Constance and Rabe felt powerless to resist, so they shouted to Henry outside the city: "Henry, your brother Raber and I are willing to give up Paris, but you must give up enough compensation to your brother Raber!" ”

Henry I pondered for a moment, knowing in his heart that it was impossible for Robert, Duke of Normandy, to storm Paris for him, and the Normandy soldiers divided his troops to sweep the surrounding towns and villages made Henry I's heart ache even more, he knew that if he did not agree to their conditions and continue to besiege the city of Paris, it was likely that the entire island of Paris would be plundered by the Normans.

The island of Paris was the ancestral land of the Capetian dynasty and the symbol of French royal power, and Henry I could not have watched Paris be destroyed by war.

"Queen Constance, my brother Rabe, I grant you your request, as long as you give up the city of Paris and no longer compete for the throne of France, I will forgive Rabeth and make him Duke of Burgundy!" Henry I made up his mind, looked up at the two of them, and said in a loud voice.

Henry I was also uneasy, and the Duchy of Burgundy and the Duchy of Upper Burgundy were originally made by Germany. Duke Orton of the House of Ivrea ruled, and William's enemy, Count of Mortan, was also from this family.

But in 1026, with the Oton. Morality. The passing of Ivrea, de De. The heirs of the House of Ivrea were no longer in control of the Duchy of Burgundy in France, and the vacant dukedom led to a scuffle and contention among the nobles in the territory.

Originally, Henry I also had the intention of competing for the title of Duke of Burgundy, but the rebellion of the Queen Mother Constance and his brother Rab made it impossible to compete for the Duchy of Burgundy.

Now the mud pit of the Duchy of Burgundy can be thrown off to his younger brother Rabe, not only to reclaim Paris, but also to spread his reputation for benevolence and filial piety.

As for whether Rabeth can pacify the Duchy of Burgundy, Henry I will not care, Rabe, who is trapped in his heart by the chaotic Duchy of Burgundy, can no longer compete with him for the crown of the Capetian dynasty.

Although both the Queen Mother Constance and Rabe knew that the Duchy of Burgundy was a muddy puddle, the two men in the midst of the Normans had no better choice but to reluctantly agree.

......

The expedition went well, and the Empress Dowager Constance agreed to Henry I's return to Paris as king, in exchange for Henry I canonizing his brother Rabey as Duke of Burgundy.

It can be said that the tens of thousands of troops led by Robert did not encounter any fierce resistance along the way, but grabbed a large amount of loot in Paris, and the harvest was extremely rich.

A few days later, when the Duke of Robert returned to Rouen with his troops, it was late at night.

Duke Robert, who entered Fort Rouen, thought that William had not returned to Rouen, but found that the gate of the Duke's Palace of Fort Rouenburg was open, and Steward Osborne was standing in the courtyard holding William's little hand.

Duke Robert hurriedly jumped off his horse and hurried over.

When William saw his father Robert coming, he also stretched out his hands and ran over.

Father and son hugged each other affectionately.

"The young master said that you would definitely come back tonight, so he hurried back to Rouen from Evre, just to come and meet you." Osborne said.

"Is that so? William. I'm so happy! Duke Robert picked William up, stood up, and said happily.

"Yes, father, I want to see you!" William shook his head and said with a smile on his face.

"Not bad! William, you've matured a lot lately. I heard a lot of rumors about you when I was in Paris, and that's great! Duke Robert stretched out his right hand and touched William's brain affectionately, complimenting.

"This is all due to Sir Hubert, without whom I would not have been able to command the army in battle.

Uncle Robert also did a lot for me, and he helped me gather the army we commanded.

I couldn't have done this without their help! William said modestly.

"Don't be proud, don't be complacent, you're already a good commander, William." Duke Robert stroked William's head and complimented, "By the way, why didn't Sir Hubert come back?" ”

"Father! Sir Hubert has been made a vice-baron by me to look after my domain in Evreux. William replied.

"You have done a good job, you have done a fair job of canonizing Sir Hubert, and by virtue of his merits you are enough to become a baron!" Robert nodded and praised, "Since Sir Hubert can't return to Rouen anytime soon, I'll find you a new guardian!" ”

"Why? Father, I don't want Sir Hubert to leave me! William shook his head and said with some stubbornness.

"Silly boy, when did I say I was going to let Sir Hubert leave you? He's one of your guardians, and the new guardian I've found for you is a duke who will give you greater protection! Robert couldn't laugh a little, shook his head slightly, and said.

"Duke? Who is he? William asked, with a look of curiosity on his face.

"Haha! It was the Duke of Brittany, de De. Duke Arlen II of the House of Rennes. I have asked him to be your guardian in order to strengthen you so that you can inherit my title smoothly. ”

The Duchy of Brittany and the Duchy of Normandy were two equal principalities, and Duke Robert made Arrun II, Duke of Brittany, William's guardian, in order to make him loyal to William.

So why is Aaron willing to accede to Robert's request to be William's guardian and pledge allegiance to him?

A few years ago, the Duke of Arlen saw the rebellion in the Duchy of Normandy and led a large army to attack the Duchy of Normandy, but was defeated by Duke Robert.

Duke Robert graciously released Duke Arlen on the condition that he promise Duke Robert to do something for him.

In what name did Duke Arlen pledge allegiance to William?

The Duke of Arrun had a number of territories in the Duchy of Normandy, and in the name of these domains he pledged allegiance to William.

"Really?" William said excitedly.

With the help of Duke Aaron, William can balance the forces of Kay, Duke of Mortan, and no longer need to be afraid.

After receiving an affirmative reply from Duke Robert, William almost jumped with excitement.
