William's offer was unlikely to be agreed to by Edward, meaning that he drove out the powerful Godwin family on the front foot, and attracted the more powerful hungry wolf William and his Normans on the back foot.

"I'm sorry William, I'm going to keep Wessex, it's the birthplace of my ancestors Alfred the Great and the Wessex dynasty, I'm going to take back the Duchy of Wessex, and Oxford is the barrier between London and Middlesex, and I can't give it to you.

You can choose from the Principality of East Anglia or from Kent and its environs......"

Before King Edward could finish speaking, William stretched out his hand to interrupt him, saying, "Cousin Edward, you don't seem to understand your situation clearly, you don't have anything in your hands except the crown on your head and the inheritance of Alfred the Great, and you don't have any capital to bargain with me.

My dear cousin Edward, all you have to do now and can do is to submit to me and agree to all the conditions I have put forward. ”

"You are trying to usurp the throne of England! England is the England of the Wessex dynasty, England of the descendants of Alfred the Great, and you are not in a position to take the crown of England from me, William.

I am the only descendant of the House of Wessex, and no one is more qualified to bear the throne of England than I am.

Even if you are lucky enough to usurp, I Anglo-Saxons will not submit to you and obey your rule, and when the time comes, you will only take an empty title that no one recognizes, and you will face a merciless and endless war with my Anglo-Saxons. "Edward has his pride, as a descendant of Alfred the Great and the White Dragon, he has always looked down on the Normans, and he also looked down on William as an illegitimate child, perhaps his closeness to William was deliberate.

"Who said you're the only one left in the Wessex family? My sister Adelaide's husband 'Exile' Edward. Edmondson. Wessex is your brother, the son of the former King Edmund 'Iron Bone', and a descendant of the rightful Alfred the Great.

I have a lot of options, and it's not through you that I can achieve my goals, so you don't have any room for bargaining with me right now. ”

William walked up, forced his gaze at the other party, and said these words with an expressionless face, causing the other party to stagger back a few steps.

“......”

At this time, King Edward of England was speechless by William's words, and he never thought that Edward, the "exile" whom he had not faced before, would become a trump card in William's hands, a trump card that was enough to replace himself.

"Well, I agree to your request, and I will transfer all those Godwin family lands to you, and grant you the corresponding land deeds.

I will agree to your request to enter the Council of the Mages, but that will not be decided until the northern princes arrive in London, and the Council of the Wise is not up to me. ”

Edward still did not give up hope, and he temporarily agreed to William's request in the hope of delaying time, at least until the Duke of Mercia, the 'elder' of the Hewess family, Leofric. Hewess and Duke of Northumbria, Sword. Northumbria arrives in London.

The 'elder' of the Hewess family, Leo Frick. Hewess is one of the most powerful aristocratic princes in the north, and the strength of the Hesseway family is not inferior to the Godwin family in its heyday, when King Edward really relied on the support of the Duke of Mercia to survive the persecution of the Godwin family, which is enough to demonstrate the strength of the Heseway family.

In the north, all the earls and magistrates were named after Leofric, Duke of Mercia. Hervey was the first to be knighted, Duke of Northumbria, Sword. Northumbria was more like a horse boy in front of the Duke of Mercia.

Leo Frick. He was born on 1 January 968 and died on 30 October 1057. The son of Hewesey, he was the magistrate of Hewesai.

In 1013, King Etheled the Unprepared, conferred on Leofric. Land in Northamptonshire, Heveysay.

Subsequently, in the invasion of the Norwegian Sweyn, Leofrick. Hewessa's elder brother Norsman was killed by Knut, who inherited his elder brother's title and domain as Duke of Mercia.

Becoming Duke of Mercia made him one of the most powerful princes, second only to Godwin, the ambitious Duke of Wessex.

He had some kinship with Canute's first wife, which may help explain why he was the first to support her son, Harald I. Cnutlin succeeded to the throne of England.

Cnut's son, Emma of Normandy, Cnut died in 1035.

However, Harald I died in 1040 and was succeeded to the throne of England by his brother Hardknut, a king who was not popular with the English because of the heavy taxes he imposed during his short reign.

In 1041, two of his tax officials were killed at the hands of the angry locals of Worcester, and King Hardknute was so enraged that he ordered his Vikings to plunder and burn the Duke of Mercia and the other earls under his command. This order was made to Leo Frick. The trials of Hervey were no less true for the church, the city, and his people at Worcester.

In the following year, Leo Frick. Hewess continued to resist the atrocities of Hardknout, and did not allow him to succeed until his sudden death in 1042, when he was succeeded by his half-brother Edward the Confessor.

Since then, Leo Frick. Hewess was a loyal supporter of King Edward. In 1051, when King Edward was threatened by Earl Godwin, Leofrick. Hewess and Sword. Northumbria gathered a large army and sailed to London.

Leofrick advised Edward that the battle would be stupid, because there would be important members on both sides of the nobility, and the losses of these people should be many dead on the battlefield.

So Edward followed Leofrick's advice and expelled the other enemies from England and let them go, and finally solved the problem by a less bloody means: both the Earl of Godwin and his family were banned for a while.

Thereafter, Leo Frick. The power of Hewesai reached its heyday. But until 1055, Avga, the son of Mercia Leofric, was illegal, as recounted in the Anglo-Saxon chronicles.

Leo Frick. Hewesai died on 30 October 1057 and was buried in Coventry with his son Afgar. Leo Frickson. Hewesai succeeded in inheriting his title as Duke of Mercia and his domain.

From history, we can see that as a powerful prince who was able to stand up to the Godwin family, Leofric, Duke of Mercia. The strength of Hewesai should not be underestimated, coupled with the Duke of Northumbria, Sword. The support of Northumbria and other princes even faintly surpassed William and his Normans.
