Count Robert was very appreciative of William's move to retreat into advance, and if William forcibly wore the position of military governor of Evler, it was possible that he would not be able to convince the people and command the army.

It would be different to entrust the post of military governor of Evler to Sir Hubert, who was not much worse than William, and was tall, mature and full of leadership temperament, and loyal to William, so Sir Hubert was William's good helper in controlling the military of the county of Evler.

On the stage, Count Robert agreed to William's proposal to canonize Sir Hubert as the military governor of the county of Evreux, and immediately canonized Sir Hubert as the military governor in charge of the military defense of Evreux.

William, who was kneeling on one knee in the audience, saw Count Robert nodding in agreement, and then stood up with the saber given to him in both hands.

Click... Da Da... Click... Click... Click... Da Da...

In order to celebrate William's becoming a full-fledged lord nobleman, the trumpeters on both sides of the hall also played a rousing music at the same time.

"My courtiers, for generations the Normandy family has ruled the land, and it has been conquered by the valiant and wise Baron William, despite the mob and rebellion of the foolish merchants who stirred up the mob and revolted in Alençon. He is the heir to the House of Normandy and the Duchy of Normandy, as well as the heir to the Count of Evre, and I hope that you will be as loyal to him as I am allegiance. Count Robert looked around and said solemnly.

"Yes, Lord Count." xN

The nobles and knights got down on one knee and said in unison.

Seeing that all the noble knights were obedient to his orders and willing to be loyal to William, Count Robert nodded and stepped down from the stage, wrapped his arms around William's shoulders, and said intimately: "Prepare to go and accept your territory, William!" You will find that ruling different regions requires the use of different means. ”

......

On the second day, after attending the grand banquet held yesterday, William was excited early in the morning, and led his 2,400 soldiers to his new territory, Vernon, while the 800-strong knight regiment had been disbanded after forty days of service, and each went back to his own home.

Unlike the Barony of Alençon, which William actually controlled but nominally belonged to Uncle Adolf, the Barony of Vernon was arguably the first barony that William officially acquired.

Unlike the Barony of Alençon, where the original aristocratic power has almost disappeared, the local aristocratic power of Barony Vernon is indeed quite strong.

William looked southeast, and dozens of miles away was the Barony of Vernon.

The Barony of Vernon is located on the west bank of the Seine, in the southeast corner of the county of Evreux, northwest of Paris, France, and intersects with the Countate of Chartres of the Duke of Champagne and the port town of Mount Lajoli in the northwest suburb of Paris (referred to as "Mount", the inner port of the Seine in the northwest suburb of Paris, France), and is a strategic point with convenient transportation.

The Barony of Vernon is not only easily accessible by land, but also has important links between Paris, the Counts of Chartres and the Counts of Evreux, as well as its water links.

It is not only close to the Seine, a famous river in the northwest of France, which connects Paris with the Duchy of Normandy, but also the Earles River, a tributary of the Seine, and its tributary, the Etun River.

The Seine is the great river of northern France, which connects Paris and Rouen for the Barony of Vernon, with a total length of 776.6 kilometers and a total basin area of 78,700 square kilometers including tributaries. It has been the river of Paris since the early Middle Ages; Paris was founded on some of the river's main crossings, and the interdependence of the river and the city is close and inseparable.

The Earle, a river in northern France, is a 225-kilometre (140-mile) long tributary of the Seine, which communicates with the Counts of Chartres from the Barony de Vernon. It flows mainly through agricultural and forested areas, with many tributaries such as Blaise, Avre and Itun on the way. From its source it flows southeast to the south of Chartres, then turns sharply northward, passes through the city of Chartres, then flows north through Maintenon and Deloux, turns northwest through Anne, and flows into the Seine through Pacy-sur-Eure.

The Itun River is a river in France, located in the Normandy region, a tributary of the Earle River, with a total length of 132 kilometers and a basin area of 1,300 square kilometers.

The famous Iton Valley is the name of the Iton River, and the city of Evreux was built on the land of the Iton Valley, which can be said to be an important transportation hub between William's two domains, the Barons of Alençon and the Barons of Vernon.

Despite its rapidity and lack of width for large boats, it was the most important traffic channel of William's time, almost as important as the Seine.

Such an important geographical location and convenient water and land transportation conditions contributed to the commercial prosperity of Barony Vernon.

The Barony of Vernon, which occupies just over a sixth of the county of Evreux, contributes more than a third of its taxes, a little more than the Alençon region.

Of course, the booming commerce also led to the development of cities, especially some port cities near the Seine, which had a population of more than a thousand people, although far less than Renebauer.

In addition to the strong commerce, Vernon's agricultural conditions were also very convenient, the abundant water brought by the confluence of several rivers, and the flat and fertile land, all of which made the Barony Vernon no less arable and manor than the Barony of Alençon, and its arable land even accounted for more than three-fifths of the plain.

However, less than thirty-six of the vast arable land and hundreds of manors belonged to William, accounting for less than thirty percent of the total arable land, while the rest of the manors belonged to the knights and nobles, and the remaining arable land belonged to merchants and yeoman farmers.

Among them, Jensen occupies nearly 5,000 acres of land on six estates. Possessed by Sir Bernard, the knights of Vernon were essentially Sir Johnson's foresight.

Yes, Sir Johnson's energy in Barony Vernon is indeed very great, and sometimes even Count Robert's orders are chosen not to be obeyed.

It can be said that Sir Jensen, although he did not have the title of baron, did indeed gain the de facto rule of the Barony of Vernon by uniting the local knightly nobles and merchants.

Before leaving, William learned about the current situation of Barony Vernon and Sir Jensen from his uncle Earl Robert, so in order to deal with Sir Jensen, who was strong in the local area, William chose to lead an army of 2,400 people to Vernon to receive the territory, just in case.
