William, who colluded with Archbishop Anno of Cologne and tried to play the center blast in the Holy Roman Empire, still felt that it was not enough to relieve him, and he wanted to poach the nobles of the Holy Roman Empire in turn.

The old aristocracy, such as the Bierunger family of the Duke of Saxony, von Brown, who held the titles of Duke of Austria and Swabian. The Babenburg family, the Przemes family of the King of Bohemia, etc., these powerful nobles, William naturally had no interest in poaching, on the one hand, it was not of much benefit to him, on the other hand, the cost of poaching was too high, the investment was large and the return was small.

Wilhelm's targets were mainly the famous German aristocratic families of later generations, but the unknown families at this time, such as the Hohenzollerns, the Habsburgs, the Wittelsbach families, and the Zaringen families, were all undeveloped, bad, or unused.

The Hohan Sauron family, which was still unknown at this time, already had two family members, the brothers Albert and Mephistopheles, who worked for William and were canonized as dukes of Ireland and Wales respectively.

William was trying to woo the two of them at this time, the elder brother of the Hohenzollern family, Bourchad. Feng. Hohenzollern.

William appointed him commander of the new legions, and Bourchad gladly left for Paris to pay his allegiance to William.

The Hohenzollern family in Germany has not yet made its mark, and it is relatively easy to poach corners, but the remaining three families are not so easy.

Let's not talk about the world-famous Habsburgs, let's talk about the Wittelsbach family, which was born in recent years from the noble von Wittelsbach. The relationship between the Babenberg family is that of the independent branch of China. Normandy family and

Morality. The relationship between the Vasi family, if you want to succeed in poaching, you must first obtain its main vein, Feng . The permission of the Babenburg family.

Otto, the ancestor of the Wittelsbach family, was the nephew of Otto III, Duke of Swabia, and his father, Henri Brown. Feng. Babenberg was the younger brother of Otto III.

Fortunately, Otto III lost his strength in the Battle of the Rivoli Heights and did not have the energy to care for his nephew Otto. Feng. Wittelsbach, so William succeeded in putting him to his service after paying thousands of pounds of silver.

William also appointed him commander of the newly formed regiments, along with Burchad. Feng. Hohenzollern is treated equally.

The Wittelsbach family is not famous in later generations, in fact, it is the old German princely family, the Bavarian royal family, once established several dynasties in several German principalities and other European countries, and ruled Bavaria for more than 700 years.

The Wittelsbach family started in Bavaria and was later canonized as Duke of Bavaria and later as Electors, and later the eldest branch of the family ruled Bavaria and the younger branch ruled Brandenburg.

Two members of the Wittelsbach family became Holy Roman Emperors: Ludwig IV (r. 1314-1347) and Charles VII (r. 1742-1745), and one was elected King of Germany, Ruprecht of the Palatinate (r. 1400-1410).

The Wittelsbach family ruled for more than 700 years and into the 21st century, and is still one of the most prominent families in the world.

The Hohenzollerns and Wittelsbachers were poached fairly smoothly, but when it was their turn to poach the Habsburgs, they encountered a lot of difficulties.

The situation in the Habsburgs is similar to that of the Wittelsbach family, whose ancestors are descended from the Eticien, an ancient Germanic noble family whose ancestors were the Duke of Alsace and later the Counts of Nordgaard, who have always been in control of the family domains of the Counts of Nordgaard.

As a branch of the Etisien family, Radbert of the House of Habsburg founded the Eagle Castle, or Habsburg, in Switzerland, and his family took the name of Habsburg, and later the title of Count of Allgäu, where he was located.

By now, the Habsburgs have been passed down for two generations, and the current patriarch of the Habsburgs is Werner, Count of Allgäu, who, in the war with the Lombards, commanded the right flank during the attack on the Rivoli Heights, and was heavily defeated by the Norman cavalry and the Lombards.

The Habsburgs suffered a great deal of losses from this battle, and they could not recover for at least ten years.

We remember the name of the Habsburgs, partly because it was the second longest and most extensive feudal family in European history, ruling from 1282 until the end of the First World War, and from 1438 the Holy Roman Emperor was hereditary from the Habsburgs.

On the other hand, the Habsburgs' flexible political skills and amazing marriage politics were amazed by later generations, and we affectionately called the family the Clam Fort, or the Lower Body Fort.

However, in the early stages of the family, the Habsburgs were in danger of becoming extinct, and there were only two family members in the family, one of whom was the only male member of the family, Count Werner of Allgäu, and his sister Lichensha, who was married to the local Count of Bern, Uttirich. Feng. Lenzburg.

If the Count of Werner was unable to produce an heir, the Habsburgs might have died.

The Count of Werner is still unmarried, not because there is no noble lady who is unwilling to marry him, but because he is so preoccupied that Dao is still unmarried.

Knowing this, William did what he liked, and on the one hand he sent an envoy to discuss the marriage contract with the Earl of Werner. Morality. The daughter of the Count of Montgomery, Maude, who had both virtue and ability, married him.

The Montgomeries were among the oldest nobles in the Duchy of Normandy and worthy of the Habsburgs.

Immediately after the marriage was concluded, the Count of Werner was inclined towards William, but he refused to give up his family fiefdoms of the county of Allgäu and the Habsburgs, even though William offered to offer a larger territory as compensation.

The state of Aargau and the Habsburgs were of great importance to the Habsburgs, and the Count of Werner was unwilling to give up, and once he pledged his allegiance to William, the Empress Dowager Agnes would have Henry IV strip him of his earl title and domain, which he did not allow.

In other families, there may be a workaround of giving titles and lands to other family members, but the Habsburgs, who have only one male member, could not do so.

Without the allegiance of the Habsburgs, William said that he was a little regretful, but it was only a point, leaving the stage of the Holy Roman Empire, would the Habsburgs still be the later Clam Castle family?

William's final goal, the poaching of the Zaringen family, was also thwarted, although the family had no intention of leaving the Holy Roman Empire because the Empress Dowager Agnes had agreed with Henry III's promise to canonize Berhott as Duke of Swabia and bestowed the title of Duke of Swabia on Otto of Schweinfert.

In the end, William had no choice but to introduce him to Archbishop Anno, who was plotting against the Empress Dowager Agnes.

In addition to the Hohenzollerns and Wittelsbachs, there were several nobles who were loyal to Wilhelm, but they are unknown now and in later generations, but in order to promote his reputation for talent, these nobles were still clumsily appointed by William.
