Upon learning that Alfonso had been captured, Count Roger did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent a battalion of light cavalry to carefully escort him to William.

"What to do with Alfonso?"

After listening to Count Roger's report, William stroked the short beard on his chin and groaned.

Historically, after being defeated and captured by Sancho of Castile, Alfonso was exiled to Zaragoza, but this proved to be foolish, and the benevolent King Sancho was subsequently murdered by Alfonso's Assassins during the siege of Zamora, after which he returned to León to be crowned King of Castile, León, and Galicia.

This is entirely a story of a farmer and a snake, and King Sancho's mercy was exchanged for Alfonso's plot to assassinate him, so it can be seen that Alfonso must not stay.

William, who had made up his mind, looked at Roger and said, "Send Alfonso to the provisional court, where I will try him for the heinous crimes of murdering his own father Ferdinand I, plotting to kill Sancho, king of Aragon, mutilating his brothers and siblings, and humiliating the wives and daughters of nobles."

After the trial, Alfonso will be hanged, and you will personally supervise the execution. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Although this was the first time that William had asked for the execution of a king and nobleman, Count Roger did not fluctuate in the slightest, in medieval Europe, it was all too common to kill opponents by any means, not to mention that in Italy, their Outville family had gone much more than others.

Count Roger even thought that William was too merciful, and that he had not executed any of the princes who had resisted him all these years, and now that Alfonso was still on trial, which was very different from William's previous decisiveness and ruthlessness.

William looked at the departing Count Roger and shook his head slightly, he was clear about the other party's thoughts, indeed as he thought, his nature was not cold and cruel, but the suffering since childhood forced him to be strong and use cruel means to suppress his opponent.

But even so, William rarely executes people outside the battlefield except for being ruthless on the battlefield, which is the only tenderness he has left.

After Alfonso's beheading, the obstacles to William's seizure of Spain were finally cleared, the brave and fearless King of Castile "Sancho the Lionheart" was exiled by William, the sinister and scheming King Alfonso of Leon was executed, and the Galician King Garcia was cowered in the castle of Santiago, shivering, waiting for William's final judgment on him.

It can be said that the three crowns of Castile, León and Galicia, well, plus Aragon and Navarre, these five crowns ended up in the hands of William without any suspense.

On May 7, 1066, the whole territory of Burgos was pacified, and the Count of Santilana surrendered.

On May 10, 1066, the entire kingdom of Navarre was pacified, and King Sancho IV of Navarre and Prince Ramiro, Count of Nahra, surrendered to Duke Rodrigo.

On 13 May 1066, William personally led his troops to capture León and Palencia, and in addition to Sancho, Count of Astorga, who tried to resist, Diego, Count of Audovier, surrendered, and Perold of Vaitolid pledged allegiance to William.

Almost at the same time, Duke Andrew led his troops to occupy Zaragoza and other places, and turned north to begin the invasion of the Kingdom of Aragon at the southern foot of the Pyrenees.

In the following half a month, William led the Norman army to seize the three kingdoms of Castile, León and Navarre almost effortlessly.

After pacifying Castile and León, William turned his attention to Galicia.

Previously, the king of Galicia, Garcia, had put his head into the sand like an ostrich, turning a deaf ear to William's orders and calls, and still hiding in the castle of Santiago and comfortably serving as his own Galician king.

But how could William, who was determined to unify Spain, tolerate such a situation to continue?

Soon William sent Duke Rodrigo with 30,000 troops in the direction of the castle of Santiago in Galicia.

As a native of Rodrigo, Duke Rodrigo has a very high reputation in Spain, and his name can be said to be known to everyone, and many Casstillans learned the news of Rodrigo's troops, not only did not resist, but spontaneously brought weapons and food to join Rodrigo's army.

Compared to the small nobles and knights of the Castiers, those princes and nobles were extremely afraid of Rodrigo's arrival.

Of course, unlike the self-deceiving King Garcia, the nobles led by the Duke of Portogaa, the Count of Brasakcan, and the Count of Cobraine were actually many people, and before Rodrigo could lead the army to attack the city, they tied their hands and feet one after another, walked out of the castle, and surrendered to Rodrigo Kaecheng.

In the end, with the rebellion of the nobles of the Kingdom of Galicia, the king of Garcia finally recognized the reality and surrendered to Duke Rodrigo.

Although this person was not the mastermind of the conspiracy to kill Ferdinand I, he was also Alfonso's accomplice and a tyrannical monarch, so William gave King Garcia a forfeiture of his title and domain, and exiled him to Messina in Sicily.

Garcia was accompanied by a group of Castile nobles who had rebelled against William, such as Sancho, Count of Astoga, Diego, Count of Oviedo, Muño, Count of Santilana, Perrod, Count of Vailolid, Sancho IV, King of Navarre, and Prince Ramiro, Count of Lahra.

These noble knights of Castile exiled to Sicily numbered in the hundreds.

"Maybe the Sicilian Caesar will be grateful to me." William thought to himself.

The Castile nobles exiled to Sicily by William were not useless waste, but rather the best of Castile, León, Galicia, and Navarre, who were either skilled in martial arts and command tactics, or well versed in politics, law, and diplomacy.

Had it not been for William's concern that these Castile nobles were too independent and could easily be relegated, perhaps he would have accepted their allegiance.

On September 23, 1066, William, who was in the palace of Burgos to deal with the affairs of the Spanish kingdoms, finally waited for his friend, the new Pope John X.

Previously, William had completely destroyed the titles of Aragon, Navarre, León, and Galicia, leaving only the Kingdom of Castile, in order to unify the Christian states of Spain.

At the same time, William also canonized his two younger brothers, Otto and Robert, Duke of Galicia and Duke of Barcelona, respectively, to defend Castile.

Now, preparations for William's coronation as Emperor of Spain have finally been completed, and the arrival of Pope John X means the beginning of the coronation.
