When the guns were taken by William to Lorraine, which had been occupied by the Normans, it was like a sheep in the mouth of the pampered Archbishop of Mainz, Christian, who could have guessed what the tyrannical Normans would do.

The Norman king and King William I of England in front of him, the illegitimate son of conquering England and France, has an unfathomable temperament.

Don't look at his present appearance as courteous and polite, but if you have heard his deeds, you can know the tyrannical, suspicious, ambitious and capricious temperament of this Norman king, and to accompany such a king is to be in the company of a tiger at all.

The Archbishop of Mainz had heard that William, when he was a child, had his men order his captives to have their captives cut off and throw them into Alençon with a stone thrower, simply because the nobles of the city cursed William as an illegitimate child.

It can be seen that this monarch's cruelty and ruthlessness are innate, and if he accidentally offends him that day, it may also end up like this.

William, after becoming the Duke of Normandy, seemed to have a somewhat restrained tyrannical and cold temperament, but he was so ruthless to the Flanders of the Duchy of Flanders, just because of their offense to William, countless Flanders were forced to become Norman serfs and artisan slaves.

In England, after William succeeded or usurped the throne of England, in order to eliminate the rebels, he took the practice of burning countless English villages and castles to white ground, whether it was Mercia and Northumberland in the west and north, East Anglia in the east, or Wessex and Kent in the south, almost every territory in England was subjected to the poison and cruel suppression of the Normans.

The kingdom of England, once with a population of more than 2.5 million, was brutally suppressed and reduced to less than 2 million people, and East Anglia, which suffered the worst losses, was so scorched that William had to canonize it.

Of course, over the years, England bid farewell to rebellion and repression, ushered in a rare peace, and the population and economy have been greatly restored and prosperous, and these were also brought by the Normans, who were not only destroyers, but also builders.

However, the Archbishop of Mainz could not see, or deliberately ignored, that the Normans were a group of outright thugs, bandits who did all kinds of evil, and William, the leader of this group of villains, was the most brutal.

"Your Majesty William, I still have the mission of reaching a peace treaty for you and me, and it is really difficult to get out of it, why don't I wait for the peace treaty to be signed, how about I give you an answer?" Archbishop Christian of Mainz insisted on refusing, and he excused himself from the matter on the grounds that a peace treaty had been reached.

William thought about it, he really wanted to make peace with Henry III as soon as possible, and it did require the efforts of the Archbishop of Mainz, but he was not prepared to let him go so easily: "Your Excellency, as soon as the peace agreement is signed and the Lorraine region officially belongs to me, I will immediately hold the ceremony of crowning the king of Lorraine for me at the Trier Cathedral in the Archbishopric of Trier.

At that time, I also ask His Excellency the Archbishop to attend the coronation ceremony and to preside over the coronation and anointing me together with the Archbishop of Trier.

At the same time, I also hope that His Majesty the Emperor Henry III will also be present at my coronation, and I will have the honour to welcome His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Your request, I agree, but attending the coronation ceremony is a matter of His Majesty the Emperor, which requires respecting His Majesty's wishes." Archbishop Mainz bowed.

"I also ask Your Excellency the Archbishop to help me fulfill my wish, otherwise if my coronation ceremony is deserted, I am sure that my Norman nobles will be extremely dissatisfied with His Majesty the Emperor." William stared at the Archbishop of Mainz and said in a flat tone.

Hearing William's words, the Archbishop of Mainz only felt chills, and William's implication was that if Emperor Henry did not attend his coronation, he would most likely march into Nassau again.

"Please be calm, Your Majesty William, I will convey your intentions to His Majesty the Emperor for you." Archbishop Mainz hurriedly bowed and said.

"Then I'll trouble you, Your Excellency." William received an affirmative answer from the Archbishop of Mainz, and the ice on his face instantly melted, and he said with a gentle smile.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to take my leave here." The Archbishop of Mainz hurriedly said goodbye to William, as if he did not want to stay here for a moment.

It was not easy for the Normans and the Holy Roman Empire to reach a peace treaty, especially for the Holy Roman Empire, which was not up to Emperor Henry III alone, but at least had to be voted on by the Imperial Diet.

However, the princes of the Holy Roman Empire had already been feared by William and the Normans.

It was an army of more than 87,000 people, gathering all the essence of the Holy Roman Empire, and they were originally confident that they were ready to defeat the Normans with superior forces, but the reality was that the 80,000 army was completely wiped out except for a few thousand cavalry and 10,000 infantry who escaped from the heavens.

At this time, they no longer had the strength to oppose William, let alone William, and more importantly, more than 1,000 nobles such as the Duke of Upper Lorraine, the Duke of Lower Lorraine, the Duke of Luxembourg, and the Duke of Provence fell into William's hands.

Just asking for ransom from the nobles, this is the boss's income, William will not be polite to these nobles of the HRE Empire, from the beginning of the peace talks, a huge ransom demand, a duke 10,000 to 30,000 pounds of silver, an earl of 3,000 pounds of silver, a baron 800 pounds of silver, and knights and knights are about 100 pounds.

These ransoms alone, all added up, William could harvest more than 100,000 pounds of silver, equivalent to the sum of the financial revenue of the Kingdom of England for two years.

In addition, the captures in this battle are innumerable, and their total value is not inferior to the ransom proceeds.

The emperor fell, and William was fed, and this is the best portrayal of this war.

Although the peace treaty was not so easy, under the pressure of William, five days later, the HRE Emperor Henry III and William signed the Peace of Mainz at the Mainz Cathedral, and peace was officially restored between the Normans and the HRE Empire.

The most important core clause of the treaty was the cession to William of the de jure territories of the Kingdom of Lorraine, Upper Lorraine, Luxembourg, Nodgaard and Count Sudegaard.

At the same time, the Holy Roman Emperor Henry III and the princes of the empire had to recognize William as the legitimate king of Lorraine and could not make territorial claims to the said lands.

The second was to hand over King Henry I of France and his prince Philip to William, but King Henry I of France immediately fled to his wife's maiden home, the Grand Duke of Kievan Rus', and was never found again.

The secondary provisions included ransom and redemption of prisoners of war, military reparations, military stationing, trade, and so on.

In the end, the Peace of Mainz stipulated that William and the HRE Empire would not fight again for ten years, which was what William wanted, and the years of war forced him to recuperate for a while.
