For Henry I's queen, the daughter of Yaroslav the "Wise" Anna. Rurik's fame, William has long heard of it, and many people covet this young queen who is not yet 19 years old, but it does not include William.

Because William and Henry I did not have a good relationship, he had never met Queen Anna, nor had he seen her beauty, and naturally he did not have any admiration for her.

However, out of curiosity, William went to the women's convent near Reims Cathedral to meet Her Majesty the famous Queen.

Mrs. Anna's name is Anna. Yaroslavna. Rurik, she was the youngest daughter of Jaroslav I, Grand Duke of Kievan Rus', married King Henry I of France in 1049, and became the queen of France two years earlier than history, giving birth to Prince Philip, Prince Hugo and Princess Emma, the eldest son Philip I was young when he ascended the throne in history, and Anna was regent as the queen mother.

William, who knew this history, couldn't help but think of Queen Anna's father, Yaroslav, the Grand Duke of Kievan Rus', known as the "Wise Man".

Yaroslav, the "wise man", connected all of Europe through marriage, and became the father-in-law and father-in-law of Europe at that time, enhancing his influence with Kievan Rus'.

Just look at the marriages of Yaroslav the Wise, who married many European royal families, thus expanding the international influence of Rus'.

These in-laws include: Yaroslav himself and King Olaf of Sweden. Munso's daughter, Inyadel, married; Yaroslav's sister Maria married the Polish king "Rebuilder" Casimir I; Yaroslav's son, Vsevolod I Yaroslavich, married Anastasia, the daughter of the Byzantine Emperor Constantine IX.

Yaroslav's daughters were also married by their father's arrangement to several foreign princes who had taken refuge in his court: Jelizaveta married the Norwegian king Harald the Heartless; Anastasia was married to King Andrei I of Hungary; Anna was married to King Henry I of France; Agatha was married to Edward the Exile, heir to the throne of England.

Agatha was the mother of Edgar Essling, the last Anglo-Saxon king before William the Conqueror conquered England, but failed to be crowned.

In this regard, William had to admire the amazing diplomatic wisdom of Grand Duke Yaroslav, and through a series of marriages, he integrated the blood of the Rurik family into the blood of the royal families of Western Europe, strengthening the ties between Kievan Rus' and other countries, and he deserved the title of "wise man".

At the same time, Yaroslav's strong fertility is also what William yearns for, the "wise man" Grand Duke Yaroslav has six sons and three daughters, he also has nine brothers and three sisters, for the strong fertility of the Rurik family, William can only feel extremely admired and envious, because the Normandy family is thin, he is particularly yearning for this kind of prosperous family.

However, Yaroslav's many sons and grandchildren also laid the groundwork for the destruction of the Grand Duchy of Kievan Rus', which was divided into several separate Grand Duchyes as Yaroslav's territory was inherited by his children and grandchildren.

These Grand Duchyes were not united, which paved the way for the Mongols to invade the steppes of Eastern Europe and conquer the Grand Duchy of Kievan Rus.

......

William met Her Majesty Queen Anna in the women's convent, with long hair and a shawl, delicate and beautiful facial features and a reddish fair complexion, she was indeed a rare beauty, even the strong-willed William couldn't help but dazzle.

At this time, William just wanted to leave this place quickly, he didn't want to be seduced by Queen Anna and cause more trouble, but Queen Anna had already noticed his existence and walked towards William with a smile.

"His Majesty William." Queen Anna bent her knees slightly and smiled.

"Her Majesty Queen Anna. I've frightened you these days, and I'm here to make amends to you. Is there anything you can help me with? William replied with a smile on his face as a courtesy, not rudely avoiding Queen Anna.

"Thank you for His Majesty William's relationship, everything is fine here for the concubine, but it's too boring to stay in this small monastery, can I go to your mansion with you?" Queen Anna frowned slightly, revealing a hint of grievance.

"It is an honour, Her Majesty Queen Anna." Somehow, William seemed to be his best friend, and couldn't help but agree to Queen Anna's request.

At this moment, Phalle, who was following behind William. Osborne reminded aloud: "Your Majesty, you will leave Reims tomorrow, and there are still many military affairs to deal with today." ”

"Oh oh oh!" William was reminded by Faller, and immediately reacted, and he said apologetically: "Lady Anna, I am indeed inconvenient here, and I will leave Lance tomorrow, so please bear with me." ”

"Your Majesty William, this is my fault, and I shouldn't be strong." Lady Anna wept as if she had been wronged.

"Madame Anna, I will arrange for you to live in Paris, it is indeed not appropriate for you to stay in Reims. And when the war is over, I'll come to see you often. William saw the beauty crying and hurriedly comforted her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lady Anna immediately smiled and curtsied, "That's settled." ”

Bidding farewell to Queen Anna, William breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Faller beside him. Osborne said with palpitations: "Queen Anna, this woman is really a bit powerful, I have never seen such a charming woman as her. Thank you so much this time, if you hadn't reminded me in time, I would have almost fallen on this woman. ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, Lady Anna is your captive, and you have the right to dispose of her, but it's better to stay away from her for now, and it's not too late to make arrangements when King Henry I has completely defeated." Faller waved his hand in response.

"You're right, you can't be too anxious to deal with this woman, if you're not careful, you'll fall into her way." William remembered Queen Anna's shadow, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

Queen Anna did not have a good reputation in history, and immediately after the death of Henry I in 1060, Queen Anna married Raoult, Duke of Valois and Count of Amiens-Wiisan. Morality. Valois-Amiens-Wissan got married, and if the two hadn't hooked up with J beforehand, he wouldn't have believed it.

Considering that there is a twenty-four-year age gap between Henry I and Queen Anna, Henry I can almost be Queen Anna's father, and it is no wonder that Queen Anna married Duke Raoul after the remaining two sons and one daughter.

After settling Queen Anna, the next day, William led his army south to attack the last territory of the Duchy of Champagne, Troyes and the county of Sens, and at the same time he also aimed at Robert Duke, Duke of Burgundy. Cape.

At this time, the diplomatic situation around the Kingdom of France changed dramatically......
