Freshly baked Duke Andrew of Belgium. Dalton was one of the youngest dukes canonized by William, and Duke of Connaught. Morality. Pontier, Mephistopheles, Duke of Leinster. Sauron, Duke of Gwynness, Albert. Sauron was also a noble lord of the younger generation.

Unlike these three, Andrew . With William's trust and past achievements, Dalton was canonized by William in the Duchy of Flanders, which he regarded as his homeland, and the wealth of this dukedom was comparable to that of the Duchy of Anjou, which had long been developed.

Flanders is a historical place name in Western Europe, which refers to the southern region of the ancient Netherlands, located in the southwestern lowlands of Western Europe and the coast of the North Sea, including the provinces of East Flanders and West Flanders in present-day Belgium, the provinces of the Pas-de-Calais and Nord in France, and the province of Zeeland in the Netherlands.

Flanders was an important feudal state in medieval Europe, usually a fiefdom of the Kingdom of France, from the northeastern corner of present-day France (the northern department) to most of Belgium, including the southern part of the Dutch province of Zealand. There are still two provinces in Belgium named Flanders, namely East Flanders/East Flemish and West Flanders/West Flemish.

The Flemish Kingdom was one of the powerful princes of the Kingdom of France in the early Middle Ages, and at its peak, its territory included almost all of Belgium and northeastern France, and then gradually became subdued by the French king, and its territory gradually shrank. After the High Middle Ages, the kingdom of Flanders was divided into the kingdom of Heynobe and the Duchy of Artois, which are now one of the administrative divisions of Belgium and France.

In the 11th century, Flanders began its golden age as the richest region in Europe. They imported wool from England, spun it into fabrics and sold them to the European continent, and the thriving textile trade made many cities in Flanders rich and powerful.

Even though the Duchy of Flanders was conquered by the Normans and then hit by the Black Death, it was the richest region in Europe, and its heritage was not comparable to that of any other territory, even the Duchy of Anjou, which was rich on the Loire.

With such a rich territory, even Hubert, Duke of Anjou, who was also divided into France, couldn't help but show an expression of envy, let alone others? The eyes of these nobles who had not eaten meat were red, and they were all naked envy and jealousy of Andrew.

Andrew. Dalton was born into the Dalton family, commanded by William's father, Duke Robert's Guard, and his father's and grandparents had been loyal to the House of Normandy for generations. Dalton's loyalty is unquestionable, and this decade Andrew Brown. Dalton and his family were loyal to William, and he saw it all.

Andrew participated in the Battle of Alençon to quell the rebellion in Evreux, the Battle of the Dunes of Vals to unify Normandy, the Battle of Donvron with the Duchy of Anjou, participated in the war against the Kingdom of France and independently presided over the final Battle of Medimer, and then played an important role in many large and small wars, as well as the recent Battle of Hastings and the Battle of London.

Like Count Hubert, it was well deserved to be made a duke.

Compared to the riches of the principalities of Belgium and Anjou, the seven principalities of Ireland and Wales were not so lucky.

The three dukedoms of Wales, De Gebas, Powys and Gwyneth, were better, at least not tribal births, and in these three duchies the Welsh had developed a well-developed feudal system, far more civilized and wealthy than the Duchy of Ireland.

In Ireland, the situation was different, and the Duchy of Munster, Leinster, Connaught, and Ulster were different in their civilization and wealth.

Among them, the richest is the Duchy of Munster in the south of Ireland, which has made great progress in the civilization exchange with the Brittany, and the civilization and feudal system are relatively perfect, and have been comparable to Wales, England and other places.

In second place is Mephistopheles. The Duchy of Leinster in Sauron, except for the Viking-populated Dublin Earl, which still retains the tribal system, the other three counties are all well civilized and have a perfect feudal system.

However, the remaining Duchy of Connaught and the Duchy of Ulster are relatively poor, and there are still widely backward tribal systems in the territory, and only a few castles, cities, and churches can feel the breath of civilization.

The Duchy of Ulster, in particular, was in a more serious situation than the other principalities because of the threat it faced from the Norsgaels and Scots in the north.

After the Imperial Council, the Norman nobles gathered in Winchester also departed, and William, who was finally somewhat idle, began to inspect his newly acquired princes of the Duchy of Wessex, escorted by the cavalry of the Guard.

William's Winchester city was once the capital and academic center of the Saxon Kingdom of Wessex, and once competed with London, with an 11th-century cathedral and many Wessex royal tombs.

It is known that now the capital of England is London. However, not everyone knows that Winchester was the capital of England before the capital was moved to London during the Kingdom of England.

Originally a military town for the Romans, Winchester later became the center of the Kingdom of Essex, the most powerful in England at the time. In the 9th century, King Alfered, the legendary hero, united the seven kingdoms that had divided England, saved the country from crisis, and finally gave birth to England in the true sense of the word.

The most famous building in Winchester is Winchester Cathedral, one of the largest churches in England, located in Winchester, Wessexshire, and has the longest nave in Europe, at about 160 metres long.

The church houses St. Trinity, St. Peter, St. Paul and St. Switzing, and is the cathedral of Winchester and the centre of the Diocese of Winchester.

The original site of the cathedral was a church founded in 642 called "Altminster". In 971 AD, it became a refuge for the monks. St. Swiesing, Bishop of Winchester in the ninth century, was buried nearby.

However, this Winchester Cathedral, which has a history of more than 400 years, is already dilapidated after years of sharpness and weather.

Looking at this ancient papacy, which was telling the glory of the past, William said to his courtiers: "This is a church dedicated to the tombs of the kings of the Holy Trinity, St. Peter, St. Paul, St. Swising and the Wessex dynasty, and we must not let it be abandoned, and in order to show my respect and respect for Alfred the Great of Wessex of England and the previous monarchs, I will allocate funds from my private treasury to build a new church on the site of the old church." ”

Historically, the Normans invaded France in 1066, and although King William the Conqueror had already been crowned in Westminster, London, it had to be held again in Winchester, showing that the city had not lost its glory as the heart of England at that time.
