Canonizing a nobleman is not to give him a piece of land, and then giving him a nice title of honor is over, which needs to take into account all factors.

For example, some nobles are from Norman aristocracy and own property in Normandy and prefer to get a territory close to Normandy, while some nobles are from Germany and prefer to get a territory close to their hometown.

Welf, who had served for William, did not hesitate to give up the territory of the Duchy of Gwynness in Wales in order to return to Germany.

If William had listened to Welf's wishes and fulfilled him, perhaps he would not have been recruited by the Empress Dowager of the HRE Empire.

Therefore, William was prepared to listen to the thoughts of these heroes before deciding on the canonization.

In order to welcome the arrival of Otto and others, William specially prepared a grand triumphal ceremony for them, which was even better than the previous one held for Duke Hubert.

This triumphal ceremony not only prepared a five-day flowing water seat, but also a series of rich activities such as sea fleet performances, theatrical performances, acrobatic songs and dances, arena duels, knightly competitions, and a grand ceremony through the triumphal arch.

William had already carved Otto and Robert on the Arc de Triomphe for their attacks in this battle, and the reliefs vividly depicted the fierceness of the battlefield at that time.

Half a month later, Otto, Robert, Mephistopheles, Albert, Bourchard, Randolph and other nobles dressed in full costume, welcomed by the citizens on both sides, rode through the triumphal arch and enjoyed the grand triumphal ceremony prepared for them by William.

Such a grand triumphal ceremony has not been held for a long time since the fall of the Western Roman Empire, and it is only in the past few years that William has paid countless wealth, manpower and material resources, and referred to countless ancient classics, before holding a grand triumphal ceremony again hundreds of years after the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

Halfway through the triumphal ceremony, William summoned his ministers at the Palace of the Pier to discuss the canonization with them, and this time the protagonists were Otto and Robert, so it was natural to listen to their thoughts.

"Otto, Robert, Mephistopheles, Albert, Bouchard, Randolph, you are all meritorious servants of my Norman kingdom, and I am ready to bestow upon you and other men who have served in this battle.

Tell me which piece of ground you want, and I'll listen to you. William asked kindly.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your generosity, my brother Robert and I have lands in England and Normandy, and we hope to be able to exchange the original lands in Mecklenburg for estates in the Kingdom of England." Otto came out first, stepped forward and got down on one knee, bowed and said.

"Your request is reasonable, and I will consider your opinion." William nodded, then turned to look at the Hohenzollern brothers, Mephistopheles and Albert, and asked, "Mephistopheles and Albert of Hohenzollern, what do you two think?" ”

"Your Majesty, I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of wanting to gain more territory in Mecklenburg and Pomerania, because it is close to my native Germany, and my brother Mephistopheles is also thinking of it.

We are willing to exchange our titles and domains of the Duke of Leinster and Duke De Hebas with Lord Otto and Lord Robert in exchange for their possessions in Mecklenburg and Pomerania. Albert, the second brother of the Hohenzollern brothers, knelt down before William and pleaded respectfully.

"Mephistopheles, do you indeed wish to give your Duchy of Leinster in exchange for the territory of Mecklenburg, as your brother said?" William looked at Mephistopheles in confirmation.

"Your Majesty, as my brother said, I ask you to grant our request." Mephistopheles, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly bowed in response.

"Well, I'm agreeing to your request in principle, but it only takes Odo and Robert to agree." William nodded slightly, telling them both of them an affirmative reply.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" When the two of them heard this, they immediately smiled, bowed down and bowed.

"Otto, Robert, you have heard the pleas of both of them, will you agree to exchange Mecklenburg, which was supposed to be given to you in exchange for their Duchy of Leinster and Duchy of Degebath?" William then turned to look at his two younger brothers, Otto and Robert, and asked.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to accept it." Otto replied unhurriedly.

"I can't ask for it, Your Majesty." When Robert saw that his brother agreed, he hurriedly answered.

"Well, in that case, I will give you the title and domain of the Duke of Mecklenburg, and at the same time take back your original title and title of Duke of Leinster, are you willing?" William asked.

"Your Majesty, Mephistopheles is willing." Mephistopheles replied without hesitation.

"Very well, then I will canonize you as the Duke of Mecklenburg and the two territories of Mecklenburg and Rostock, and the rest of the Willeburg and Rügenburg will be distributed to the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in this battle, and they will become your vassals to assist you in protecting Mecklenburg." William drew his sword and announced with a light slap on Mephistopheles' shoulder three times.

Although there were only two territories, Mephistopheles was so happy that he solemnly swore allegiance to William again according to the new rules, and kissed the ring on William's finger.

The scribe on the side recorded the details of the canonization, the oath and other contents in detail, and handed over a copy of the canonization document to William for confirmation.

The canonization will only be completed when the instrument of canonization is officially given to Mephistopheles.

"Albert, I will canonize you as the Duke of Pomerania, and give you the title of Duke of Pomerania and the two counties of Shzinghe and Volgast as your fiefdoms."

After saying that, I continued the previous process and ordered Albert to swear allegiance again, and then canonized the canonization document to Albert.

There was one other province that was not allocated in this war, and that was the Svupsk Empire, which itself was not part of the de jure territory of the Duchy of Pomerania and was therefore left alone for distribution.

In this battle, very few people qualified to be canonized as an earl, but Randolph. Morality. Viscount Gale was definitely one of them, and William gave the kingdom of Svupsk to Randolph.

The rest of the matter was naturally happy, Odo was the most meritorious, obtaining the Duchy of Leinster with the largest number of territories, and Robert was in second place for merit, obtaining the title of Duke of De Gebas, and owning two domains, De Geebas and Glamorgan.

As for the noble knights who made great achievements, their territories were concentrated in Willer and Rügen in Mecklenburg, and Mephistopheles and Albert also took out some of their territories for William to use as rewards, which was still earned for the two of them, after all, the brave and warlike Norman knights could not be recruited at any time.
