Chapter 323: Grab a kiss

"After wearing this new crown. ..... I may have hurt my head, this thing is too heavy," William took the crown handed by Archbishop Hamelin, looked at it carefully for a while, and then casually put it on his head.

"Your Majesty, this crown can only be officially worn on your head at the coronation, and it is not convenient to use it at will now." Archbishop Hamelin hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Hahaha..."William laughed out loud and waved his hand to stop: "Don't be nervous, there are no outsiders here, I'm just trying this crown, and I don't mean to take it out."

You've probably been too nervous for the past two days, Hamelinqing, I still know that. ”

As he spoke, William took off the new crown, which was worth 60,000 pounds of silver and had been specially customized for the coronation, and handed it to Archbishop Hamelin with both hands.

Archbishop Hamelin received the crown in both hands, and felt the weight in his hands, and the boulder in his heart finally fell, this crown is worth as much as a year's financial revenue of a country, and if it is damaged in any way, no one can afford it.

"By the way, Count Hubert, Hamelin, is it too monotonous for you to say that I am the only one to receive the glory of the coronation, and I hope that my fiancée Uraka will be my betrotor and fiancée, my future queen, to attend the coronation with me." William suggested with a seemingly casual smile.

Earl Hubert, who was familiar with William's character, knew that although William spoke with a very casual attitude, Hubert already knew that William had made up his mind by looking at his eyes.

"Your Majesty, then I will be entrusted with the task of inviting Princess Uraka this time." Earl Hubert took the initiative to share William's worries, which he considered his duty as a direct vassal of William.

"No, Count Hubert, the affairs of Normandy are not without you, and I must not interfere with my official business for the sake of my private affairs, which is not the example of a wise monarch.

This time I decided to personally go to the Burgos Palace in the Kingdom of Castile to meet my fiancée, Ulaka. A smile tugged at the corners of William's mouth, and he shook his head in refusal.

"Your Majesty, you are already the king of a country, how can you act so recklessly, can this matter be left to me first, at least after informing His Majesty Ferdinand I and receiving an answer, we can make a decision on whether to go to Spain or not." Hamelin had a straight face, and scolded William loudly, almost shouting.

To tell the truth, William had never seen Archbishop Hamelin lose such a temper, and he was also shocked for a while, laughed dryly, nodded and agreed: "Then leave it to you to deal with, Hamelinqing, please be sure to invite Uraka to Normandy." ”

After the Archbishop of Hamelin turned to leave, Count Hubert approached and asked: "Your Majesty, why do you have to ask Her Royal Highness Ulaka, Princess of Castile, to attend your coronation?" In my opinion, you don't have any reason to do that. ”

"That is, of course, to strengthen the ties between the Norman kingdom and the Spanish royal family, and to reiterate to everyone how unbreakable this alliance is, so that we can deter the princes who are about to move." Without hesitation, William replied:

"Count Hubert, you should also know that the diplomatic environment around our Norman Kingdom is not very good, and it can even be described as bad, the surrounding French princes and nobles are the objects we want to sweep away, Henry I and his vassals are also very aware of this, war is inevitable after all,

At the same time, our Norman kingdom also has a deep contradiction with the Holy Roman Empire, whether it is the issue of the Holy See and the Pope, or the territorial dispute between the Duchy of Flanders and the princes of the Holy Roman Empire, or the issue of the princes of Italy, which may lead to war with the Holy Roman Empire.

To this end, it was necessary to strengthen the alliance with the Emperor of Spain and King Ferdinand I of Castile, León and Galicia. ”

"Even then, you don't have to go out yourself, you can send a nobleman to Spain on your behalf." Count Hubert was puzzled, and he could not understand why William had to go to Spain.

"I went to Burgos, the capital of Spain, to meet Ferdinand I in person, which no one can replace, and in which I can deepen my relationship with Ferdinand I.

What's more, I have already heard the news that Princess Uraka is not far away from me, and there may be some misunderstanding here, if I don't go in person, the troublesome Princess Uraka will probably never solve the misunderstanding, and she will not come to Rouen. With a slightly helpless look on his face, William turned his head to Count Hubert and explained.

"Please wait with peace of mind, I believe that Princess Uraka will be understanding and considerate of your difficulties, and His Majesty Ferdinand will be willing to help you." Count Hubert smiled heartily and comforted.

However, things did not change according to their will, and as William expected, Princess Uraka refused his invitation, and even said that she did not want to marry William, according to her, the reason for her refusal was that she was arrogant and did not want to marry an illegitimate child, even though William was about to be crowned king.

William had great hopes for the marriage, a hope that France would soon be unified, and he was in a state of great excitement about it, and he enjoyed it despite the daily policing of affairs.

However, upon hearing the result, William fell silent and became angry.

"Bastard! Bastard! The mongrel threatened my life and took away my wealth, and now the mongrel is going to organize my marriage.

Why? What exactly am I doing wrong.

Hybrids have become a nightmare, a curse that I can't get rid of. ”

William did not bask in anger, and he quickly regained his composure, which was intimidatingly calm.

William was a man of action, accustomed to getting everything he wanted with his actions, and after making up his mind, he set off with his guards, and Earl Hubert was powerless to stop the stubborn William.

Burgos is a city in northern Spain, the capital of the province of Burgos, it was founded in 884 AD, became a parish in the 10th century, and the capital of the Kingdom of Castile in the 11th century, with a magnificent Gothic cathedral and bell tower built in the Middle Ages.

Burgos was an important commercial center of the Kingdom of Stilla, a distribution center for the wool trade, and was surrounded by developed agriculture, including metallurgy, winemaking, shoemaking, wool spinning and other handicrafts. It was an important cultural center on the pilgrimage route of Santiago and the capital of the Kingdom of Castile.

Urraca walked out of the gates of the Convent of San Juan and was about to return home with his maids and guards.

Seven or eight gorgeously dressed men suddenly appeared in front of her, the first one, tall, with broad shoulders and thick back, looking at his face, handsome and handsome, with a slightly immature face but a mature temperament that was different from ordinary people, his eyes were full of heat.
