After the war, Earl. Godwin and his only son, Alfga. Godwinson fled in a hasty boat with the small remnants of his force, and as for the poor Norsemen who survived under the spear, they set sail in their nailed ships to the Tin Sea, cross the deep sea, and march towards Dublin, disheartened to return to Ireland and the coastal islands of Scotland.

William did not have time to count the prisoners and the spoils of war and hand them over to the civilian officers accompanying him, and immediately rushed into the city of London with the Earl of Richard and his army.

He was really worried about King Edward's comfort, and if anything happened to the other party, the consequences would be needless to say, and a war of succession affecting the Kingdom of England would be indispensable.

William's Norman soldiers were excited, and they rejoiced at the war, leaving behind the swarthy thing and the black crow with the hook in their mouths to share the corpses, and the eagle with dark brown feathers and white tails, and the voracious falcon to feast on the carrion of the dead, and the gray beast, and the wolf of the forest.

According to the books and what our ancient sages have told us, never before has the island ever killed more warriors with the edge of their swords than once before the Anglos and Saxons crossed the wide sea, came here from the east, and invaded Britain, and the proud attackers, the warriors who were eager for honor, conquered the Britons and won a nation.

Now the Normans will also enjoy this glory, and the glory and wealth of the conquest of England will be shared with them, which William himself promised them, and they will naturally be willing to believe William's words, and look forward to obtaining titles and titles and lands in England.

In the palace, William and his guards found King Edward of England, who seemed to be still trembling in front of William, and was still worried about the Godwin family and Vikings attacking the city of London.

"Edward, aren't you ashamed? It is a great insult to me and the Normans that I am fighting so hard for you and the Kingdom of England that you are trying to reconcile privately with the Godwins, to sign a peace treaty with them, and to try to take back the lands given to me and the Normans and return them to the Godwins. ”

William has long since graduated from Phalle. Osborne learned what was going on, and during the two-day siege, King Edward, who was trapped in William's palace, tried to privately betray William and the Normans and reconcile with the Godwin.

Naturally, King Edward's intentions had already been seen through by William. Osborne immediately put King Edward under house arrest, completely cutting off all contact with the outside world, and naturally he could not know what happened next.

"Cousin William, you misunderstood me, I'm also thinking about you Normans, isn't it worth it to exchange a few concessions for peace and a strong ally?" Although King Edward was ashamed, he still spoke nonsense with his eyes open.

"You're trying to use the Godwin's hand to weaken my Normans, what a despicable tactic." William bluntly removed Edward's mask of hypocrisy and questioned.

"I never wanted to do anything unfavorable to Cousin William, and the reconciliation with the Godwin family was entirely out of public interest, after all, no one wants to see the city of London breached." Edward shook his head in denial.

"Have you forgotten your hatred of the Godwins, and that your queen Judith was not sent to the convent by your own hands? Now you want to reconcile? William laughed angrily, Edward told him about justice, and he didn't believe it at all.

Seeing Edward's poor appearance, William smiled, ignored him, and turned to Faller. Osborne commanded, "Faller, don't let him do anything impulsive when you move His Majesty Edward to the newly renovated Tower of London Castle. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Faller. Osborne stroked his chest and bowed to receive the order.

King Edward clearly sensed William's intention to imprison him from his conversation, but no matter how much he begged for mercy, William had already turned and left the palace.

......

At Winchester Castle in Wessex, William convened a council, but this time it will be very different from the previous ones, and it can be said that almost all the important nobles of the Norman kingdom will participate in this council.

This is the second time William has convened a meeting this month.

However, the last meeting did not have any important results, more just a summary related to military affairs, and after the meeting, William only canonized a few small nobles such as barons, viscounts, barons and Norman knights, but the big nobles such as earls and dukes were not born, and this time William planned to give a satisfactory result to the Norman nobles under his command.

After all, they fought bloodily for William's birth and death, for the title of nobility and the domain, William did not canonize the big nobles such as earls and dukes in the southern territory of England, which has caused a lot of opinions among the Norman nobles, and it is just this opportunity for him to calm the anger of the Norman nobles, and he can also settle the affairs of Ireland and Wales by the way.

"Count Hubert, Count Adolphus, Rodrigo. Morality. Count Vival, Maurice. Earl of Welf, Mephistopheles. Hasn't Count Sauron arrived yet? William looked at Faller. Osborne asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, your order was sent to Normandy, Ireland and Wales half a month ago, and according to the appointed time, they should arrive in the city of London by this time today." Faller. Osborne replied truthfully.

"Send someone to pick them up, they're the protagonists of the day, and I don't want them to be absent." William turned to Faller. Osborne admonished.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Faller. Osborne bowed in response, then immediately got up and left.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Hubert, Adolf, Rodrigo, Maurice, and Mephistopheles finally hurried into the tent and took their seats after William nodded his head.

"Count Richard, Count Rodrigo, Count Andrew, Count Maurice, Count Mephistopheles, Lord of Alc, Celoline, Baron William of Lilleborn. Morality. Lillebonne, Baron Hugo of Saint-Pol. Morality. St. Pol, Guérand. Morality. Baron Ponthieu, William. Baron Martelley...... and all of you, adults.

I am convening this Imperial Council today to announce something to you. Here, William paused, looked around the crowd, and saw that everyone present was listening attentively to what he had to say, before he continued:

"I have decided to make the Duchy of Normandy and the Duchy of Wessex, as well as the counties of Amiens, Vissan, and Boulogne on the east side of Normandy, and Rennes and Nantes on the west side of Normandy my core fidelions, all of which will belong to me.

The rest of the regions will be canonized by me, including Ireland, Wales, the Duchy of Brittany, the Duchy of Anjou, and the Duchy of Flanders, which will be canonized by me to all meritorious ministers, and the fiefs of all of you here will also be changed. ”

Everyone was taken aback by William's speech, they did not expect William to gather everyone to Winchester Castle to announce such an important matter.
