Chapter 467: The female junior holds the gold brick
Immediately after the departure of Duke Hubert and the others, William summoned many of his trusted noble vassals and demanded that they be as loyal to his heir, Richard, as if they were his own.
Among these nobles, William trusted his two half-brothers, Odo, the most. Morality. Conteville and Robert De. Both of Cantville, both of whom had been canonized as an earl by William, were among the upper echelons of the Norman nobility, and were therefore very grateful to William.
William summoned the two men and appointed them as military governor and keeper of the seals of Richard, Prince of York, respectively, and assisted Richard the Younger with the regent Duke Rodrigo. He appointed his two younger brothers to key positions in the Duchy of York, in order to divide the power of Duke Rodrigo, who was regent.
Despite his loyalty, the Duke of Rodrigo was loyal to his duties, but William entrusted his two younger brothers with the most important military, domestic and foreign affairs of the Duchy of York, in order to prevent him from developing ambitions after the Duchy of York became a dominant family.
After arranging everything, William can finally breathe a sigh of relief, to be honest, before the child was born, William had not been a father in two lifetimes, and naturally he didn't know how to be a qualified father, so he was very nervous, and William, who was a first-time father, always wanted to leave his best things to his son.
Whether it is the arrangement of the guardian, or the canonization of the territory and the future future, William has made detailed plans for little Richard, in order to let his son grow up healthily.
"It's time to give little Richard a family affair!" William thought.
As soon as he thought of it, William regarded it as the most important thing about Little Richard, so he again called Osborne's butler and consulted him about marrying Little Richard.
Some people may think that William is making a big fuss at this time, little Richard is still so young, and it is not too late to discuss marriage when he grows up, but William, who is a first-time father, always wants to do more for his son and think more for him.
"See Your Majesty." Osborne knelt down in front of William and spoke up.
"Osborne, I'm going to decide a family affair for little Richard, what do you have to recommend?" William asked Osborne for his excuses, and then asked.
William's marriage to Urakar was concluded under the guidance of Steward Osborne, so he approached Steward Osborne to discuss with him a future marriage partner for little Richard.
"Back to Your Majesty, His Majesty the Holy Roman Emperor Henry III had five daughters, four of whom were Adel Head. Salian and the young woman Yuta. Salian is only four years old, not much different in age from little Richard, and his status is extremely noble, so he is the best candidate. Osborne recommended.
"Adel Head and Princess Juta?" William touched his chin in thought.
As a player of the Crusader King, William naturally knows the deeds of these two princesses, Princess Adelhead is the heir to the throne of Henry IV in William's script in 1066, and she should have been a white rich beauty, but unexpectedly, this princess with excellent conditions is indeed celibate, and it is impossible to have any offspring, so William did not think long to pass Princess Adel Head.
It's the little princess of the HRE Empire, Yuta, Salian is good, in history Princess Yuta is the queen of Hungary, King Solomon of Hungary. Arapad's Queen.
Princess Juta, once the future daughter-in-law of King Henry I of France, was betrothed to Prince Philip of France, only after Emperor Henry III waged two unsuccessful campaigns against Hungary in 1051 and 1052, a peace agreement was signed under the arrangement of Pope Leo IX, and as part of a new alliance, Princess Jutta was engaged to Prince Solomon, son and heir of the King of Hungary at the Bavarian court in Regensburg.
However, Princess Yuta's marriage to King Solomon was not successful, and the two had only one daughter, Princess Sophia, and the queen's affairs never stopped.
Later, after King Solomon and his cousins failed to compete for the throne, Princess Jutta fled back to Germany and eventually married a leader of the Pecheneg tribe.
Thinking of this, William shook his head, and likewise vetoed Princess Juta as his future daughter-in-law, which he couldn't accept just because of Princess Juta's amorous nature.
"Your Majesty, marrying the Holy Roman Empire is the best choice, our enemy is always the Kingdom of France, and the conclusion of a marriage covenant with the HRE Empire will help us conquer France." Osborne's butler saw that William was hesitant and couldn't make up his mind, so he stepped forward to persuade him.
"Osborne, your suggestion is indeed good, it is indeed our best choice to marry and conclude an alliance with the HRE Empire, but I don't need to sacrifice Little Richard's marriage in order to conquer France." William had his considerations and insistence, so he shook his head and refused.
Hearing William's answer, Osborne shook his head secretly, this master of his is indeed too stubborn sometimes, and sometimes some of William's insistence seems a little inexplicable to him, but since William has made up his mind, he is not willing to disobey his master's wishes.
"Your Majesty, I have a few good candidates to recommend to you, and presumably one of these people must be suitable to be Little Richard's fiancée." Osborne spoke again:
"The second princess of the kingdom of Aragon, Uraka, and the third princess, Ente, are of the same age, and their noble status is suitable for the candidates; Adelaide, eldest daughter of the Duke of Provence. Sonide, eldest daughter of the Duke of Tuscany, Matilda. Advance. Canossa, as well as the princesses of Norway and Denmark, are very suitable. ”
"Osborne, why are all the candidates you recommend three or four years older than my son Richard Jr.?" William had to complain about something here, so he blurted out.
"Your Majesty, this is also a helpless thing, there are only a few princesses of the same age, there is no princess of the same age as little Richard." Osborne smiled sheepishly, a little embarrassed by William's complaints.
"Osborne, I don't mean to blame you, it's just a momentary surprise." William explained, waving his hand.
"Whew..."Osborne breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Your Majesty, have you chosen a candidate?" ”
"Osborne, the candidates you recommended are all good, I need to think about it carefully, and I will discuss it with you in two days." William shook his head slightly.
"Your Majesty, I'll retire first." With that, Osborne bowed and left.
"Norway and Denmark are both my enemies, and the princesses of these two countries are the illegitimate children of King Harald of Norway and the one-faced King Swain II, and they are not suitable for Little Richard." William thought about it for a while, and first excluded the princesses of Denmark and Norway.
Immediately afterwards, William eliminated the two princesses of Aragon, and in his opinion, Spain's Castile, León, and Uraca were sooner or later in his pocket, and the Kingdom of Aragon, the Kingdom of Navarre, and the Duchy of Barcelona were sooner or later stumbling blocks on his way to unifying Spain, so he was unwilling to marry the Kingdom of Aragon.
In this way, there are only two suitable candidates left, the eldest princess of Provence and the eldest princess of Tuscany.
