As the two people who led to the tragic death of the Count of Gerbo, William. Morality. Earl Crépon and Duke Andrew, although William wanted to punish them severely, but now it was a critical period of war, and William could not chill the Norman nobles who supported him for the sake of fairness and justice, so he could only raise it high and put it down gently.

In particular, Duke Andrew, as William's trusted noble vassal, he only lost one vassal - William. Morality. The Count of Crépon and a dependency of the county of Geni. At the same time, in order to compensate him, William gave him the county of Zeeland.

The county of Zeeland is naturally not as good as the commercial and commercial county of Genie, it is just an archipelago at the mouth of the Rhine, but because of its important geographical location, it is coveted by many people, and it is a disputed territory between France and the HRE Empire.

As for William, who killed Count Gerbo in a duel. Morality. The Earl of Crépon was reclaimed by William from the wealthy title of Count of Gene, but was given the title and title of Count of Gende for his outstanding exploits in the war.

Although the territory of the county of Gunder is several times larger than that of the county of Ginny, the county of Gunde is still in the hands of the combined forces of Lower Lorraine, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, so the title of Earl of Gunder granted to him by William at this time is actually a title without a territory, and only when he recaptures Gunde, the Earl of Crépon can obtain a real territory.

The county of Gunde was also a disputed territory between France and the HRE Empire, and was coveted by the princes of Lower Lorraine and the Netherlands.

William made the Earl of Crépon the title of Earl of Gende, in order to use his outstanding command skills as the first line of defense against the Norman kingdom against the invasion of the HRE.

Although William still felt that he had not done enough, the Norman nobles thought that William was enough to be called benevolent and a model of morality, and they could not help but praise William.

William not only justly disciplined the Count of Crépon and the Duke of Andrew, but also gave Artois to the orphans of the Count of Gerbo, and asked the queen to adopt the two children of the Count of Gerbo.

William's careful arrangement of the aftermath for his loyal vassals moved the Norman kingdom to treat them as their own, and if they had seen the problem from William's point of view, they would never have done so much for a dead nobleman.

This matter has been revealed for the time being, but the impact it has caused still needs to be quelled by William himself.

Due to the tragic death of Earl Gerbo, the North Sea Fleet lost their fleet admiral, and for a moment it was in a very chaotic state, except for the detachment belonging to Captain Dirk, the rest of the ships had returned to Portsmouth Harbour without permission, and refused to cooperate with Duke Andrew to fight again.

Obviously, this incident caused a huge rift in the army and naval system of the Norman kingdom, an almost irreparable rift, which was really a headache for William.

Without the full cooperation of the navy, how could William defeat the Vikings, and how could he have an advantage in the ensuing war?

So he had to do something to change this precarious situation.

"Let's go down." William shook his head slightly, stopped his thoughts, and looked at the nobles in the audience and said.

The nobles who knelt on the ground retreated one after another.

"Falle, you go, Dirk. Morality. St. Pol beckoned. William said to Phalle, who was standing beside him. Osborne commanded.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Do you have any other commands? Faller didn't forget to ask.

"Well, you put Randolph. Morality. Viscount Gale and Robert. Baron Leblon was also recruited. William thought about it, but still called the names of the two nobles.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Faller turned and walked away.

The reason why William made Dirk. Morality. St. Pol, Randolph. Morality. Viscount Gale and Robert. Baron Leblon and the three men came together to separate the North Sea Fleet and the Five Ports Alliance fleet, and these four men were the commanders of these new fleets.

Randolph. Morality. Born in 1011 and now 40 years old, Viscount Gale was a nobleman of Suffolk County, England, of Breton ancestry, who was the Steyr of King Edward the Confessor, the equivalent of a sheriff on the continent under King Edward.

Later, when William conquered England, Randolph. Morality. Gale took refuge with William, and won William's favor by virtue of his outstanding performance in the English counterinsurgency war, and was made Viscount of Lynn, whose fief was Lynn, Norfolk.

Since then, Randolph. Morality. Viscount Gale was appointed Minister of Security by William, and two years ago he stepped down from his official position and was appointed Admiral of the Five-Port Alliance Fleet by William, and he also performed very well in this war.

Robert. Baron Leblon was the late Count of Ginny, Eustace. Morality. Guinness's brother, son of Rudolf, Count of Genie, was a blonde Norman aristocrat who was only 26 years old.

In 1036, his father, Rudolf, Count of Guinie, died, and his title was given to his eldest son, Eustace. Morality. Guinness inherited, and as the second son, because he had no inheritance rights, he had to come to Normandy to find an opportunity to get ahead.

It was a period of rebellion among the Norman nobility, and William had to lie dormant in Evre. Leblon joined William as a Norman mercenary and was later knighted for his merits.

Later in the wars with France and Flanders, Robert . . . Leblon excelled and was canonized as a baron by William.

William specially summoned Robert. Lebron was going to appoint him commander of the fleet, considering that he was born in the family of the Count of Guinie, and was not only a brave Norman nobleman, but also good at land and cavalry warfare, and he was also very comfortable on the water, and he also had outstanding talents in commanding fleets.

Dirk. Morality. Sir Saint-Pol is Baron Roger of Saint-Pol, Counts of Boulogne. Morality. Saint-Pol's illegitimate son, a Frenchman, was also the commander of the North Sea Fleet detachment under William, and was in charge of one-third of the North Sea Fleet's maritime forces.

Now he is the only senior officer in the North Sea Fleet, and it is not a small credit to the North Sea Fleet that it was reorganized and assembled at the port of Le Havre to stand by at a time when the North Sea Fleet was in disarray.

It stands to reason that William should have appointed him as the Admiral of the North Sea Fleet, but this incident reminded William that he could not entrust the precious fleet to a single person.

Plus Dirk. Morality. Sir St. Pol was only 27 years old, and at such a young age, William really did not feel at ease entrusting him with the entire North Sea Fleet.

After a while, Faller led Dirk. Morality. Sir St. Pol, Randolph. Morality. Viscount Gale and Robert. Baron Le Bronn came to meet him.

"See Your Majesty." The three of them fell to their knees and bowed their heads.

"Gentlemen, get up." William nodded and said.

After the three of them got up, William continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, my North Sea Fleet and the Five Ports Alliance Fleet have been in chaos due to the last incident and have temporarily lost their combat capability.

You are willing to share my worries and take on the responsibility of commanding the fleet! ”

"It is the supreme honor of our Majesty to share their worries and solve problems!" The three of them bowed down one after another.
