"Osov. Bamburgh, Earl of Northumbria, raise your head and say what you want and what you can give! William solemnly looked at the young earl kneeling in front of him and said in a loud voice.

Count Ossov, Count of Northumbria. Bamburgh was of great use, and he deserved William's time to summon him and listen to him present his thoughts and demands.

As the local family of the Duchy of Northumbria, the Bamburgh family has been rooted in Northumbria for generations, and has been the de facto rulers of the country since the days of the Kingdom of Northumbria, which was the generation of the Seven Kingdoms of Britain.

At the same time, the Bamburgh family was related to the Scottish Crown by marriage, and also held the title and title of Earl of Twiotdale in the Duchy of Lothian in the Kingdom of Scotland.

It can be said that the power of the Bamburgh family spanned the two kingdoms of Scotland and England, and was deeply rooted in the northern part of Britain.

Osov. Bamburgh's grandfather, Uhtreid. Bamburgh and Uncle Edred. Bamburg held the title of Duchy of Northumbria, and his father Edov. Bamburg is also the rightful heir to the Duchy of Northumbria.

It can be said that Ossov. Bamburg as Edorf. The son of Bamburgh is the successor of this great ancient family.

If it hadn't been for Sword. Northumbria, a Norwegian, took advantage of the might of the King of England, Cnut the Great, to take away the Duchy of Northumbria by means of despicable conspiracy, and the Bamburgh family will continue to be strong.

Of course, now that the Bamburgh family is in decline, it does not prevent the family from regaining its glory with the help of its deep heritage, and now Ossoff Bamburg's allegiance to William is the first step for Ossoff to lead the Bamburgh family back to glory.

"Your Majesty the King of all the Normans, the regent of England, the dukes of Wessex and Normandy, the conquerors of Brittany, Anjou and Flanders, I, Ossoff. Bamburgh swears to God to offer you loyalty and eternal allegiance to you for your drive. "Osov. Bamburgh knelt down in front of William, raised his fingers together to get his right hand, and solemnly swore an oath.

A smile tugged at the corner of William's mouth, Ossoff. Bamburg's allegiance was a timely rain, very timely, and he could use the Bamburg family's influence in Northumbria and the north of England to appease the Anglo-Saxon nobles and Thein and bring them to his feet.

Count Ossov, Count of Northumbria. Bamburgh and the Bamburgh family were indeed William's horse bones worth spending a thousand dollars on.

"Osov. Bamburgh, I ask you again, will you pledge your allegiance to me? William asked again.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I would like to dedicate my loyalty to you without reservation!" Osov. Bamburgh looked up at William and said solemnly.

"Osov. Bamburgh, I accept your allegiance, I grant you the title of Duke of Northumbria, the direct county of Northumbria, the Archdiocese of Durham, and I will support you in reclaiming Cumberland, the de jure domain of the Duchy of Northumbria. William drew his broad-bladed longsword in his hand, and in Ossov. Bamburgh patted his shoulders lightly twice and said solemnly:

"Now you are my Duke of Northumbria, guarding the border between Northumbria and Scotland for me, without the slightest slackness!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Osov. Bamburgh was so excited that he immediately threw himself on the ground, expressing his complete sincerity to William.

Reclaiming the title of Duke of Northumbria means that the Bamburgh family will regain its glory.

William looked at the agitated Ossoff. Bamburgh, with an imperceptible smile on his lips.

As William's opponent, the Duke of Northumbria, Sword. Northumbria doesn't have so much territory, except for Ossoff. The Northumbria Earldom of Bamburgh and the Durham Archdiocese of Edwan, as well as the two very fertile Domains of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, as well as Westmoreland near Lancaster and Durham, as well as the Northern Territory of Northamptonshire.

That is to say, Sword. The four Crown Territories of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Westmoreland and northern Northamptonshire, owned by Northumbria, will be owned by William.

And as the newly baked new Duke of Northumbria, Osov. Bamburgh, however, had only one direct domain, the Earldom of Northumbria, which he had previously owned, and the Archdiocese of Durham, which William had assigned to him, could not add any help to him.

The Archdiocese of Durham will not provide Ossof with any more troops or tribute, and if Bishop Edwan and Ossof agree to sit down, the Archdiocese of Durham will become a boulder holding Ossoff back.

Therefore, within the newly demarcated Duchy of Northumbria, his strength did not increase in the slightest.

As for what William said, for Ossov. Bamburgh's claim to the Earldom of Cumberland from the Duke of Lothion in the Kingdom of Scotland was a very distant promise, and even William himself did not know when he would be able to fulfill it.

Osov. Bamburgh was evidently aware of this, and he was very amuseful not to ask for any of the territories of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Westmoreland, as if to William he had been content with the title of Duke of Northumbria which William had bestowed, and was not in any way dissatisfied with the fact that he had not received any added benefit from the land.

Now that Ossoff's net worth and the future of the Bamburgh family are in William's hands, how could he go against William's intentions and say half a word without interest?

"Your Majesty, please allow me to lead the Northumbrian knights in battle for you, I know where the Viking fleet is anchored, and I will lead the army to burn all the Viking longships." Osov. Bamburgh very eagerly proposed to William.

He was very eager to show his ability in front of William, eager to be trusted and reused by William, hoping to get William's help to recover the county of Cumberland, expand the territory of the Duke of Northumbria, and connect with the territory of the Bamburgh family, Twiyotdale.

To do so, he had to gain military merit and recognition from William and the Normans, and he would not hesitate to betray his former allies.

He had made up his mind that he could even slay his own countrymen with his sword if the Northumbrians of Yorkshire were not interested.

"Duke Ossov, you and the Northumbrian knights must be very tired after a big battle, and there are many wounded who need urgent treatment, so go down and repair first.

All you have to do is tell Rodrigo, Duke of Munster, where the Viking fleet is docking. William smiled and waved his hand, vetoing Ossoff's proposal.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Osov. Although Bamburgh was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey William's order, so he had to grit his teeth and retreat.

"Osov, you and the Bamburgh family are a banner I put up to recruit the princes and nobles of the Northern Realm, don't think about it." William looked at Ossoff. Bamburgh's departing back whispered silently.
