William instructed Osborne's butler to look for Jenny, a girl suspected of Joan of Arc, Dijon. After Dark, he will not wait here anymore, he still has a lot of things to deal with, the most important of which is the reward and canonization for the generals.

The four nobles who participated in this war were Count Hubert, Rodrigo, Count Richard and Count Adolf, who either served as the commander of one side or achieved important diplomatic results, all of which required William to give sufficient rewards, whether it was manor land, commercial real estate or the promotion of power in his position, these William needed to think carefully.

However, in the reward of noble generals below the baron level, William has already negotiated with Hubert and several others, among which Baron Andrew will be awarded the title of Count of Artois, and his territory will be the northern half of the county of Artois that William cut from the Duchy of Flanders, which is close to Amiens and Boulogne, and at the same time adjacent to the territory of the Duke of Flanders and the territory of the Holy Roman Empire, which is the front line that William used to defend against threats from the east.

Therefore, William canonized Andrew with the title of earl of real power, that is, he has the right to collect taxes, appoint personnel and military power in the territory, and have the knights and retainers directly under him, etc., this kind of earl of real power is no different from the earls and vassals of the princes of other countries, but its rights are bound by William, and must strictly follow the laws formulated by William, and directly obey William's orders and must not be transgressed.

In addition to a powerful earl, several barons and vice-barons who accompanied William were also promoted, like Faller. Osborne, Ferdinand. Grylls, Jeffrey, and several other nobles close to William were promoted to the rank of viscount.

Although their merits are not much worse than Andrew's, due to their lack of fame and prestige, and at the same time they are younger than Andrew, William is worried that they will not be able to serve the public, so he temporarily promotes them to the first level of viscount, and when they are enough to serve the public for their prestige and merits, William will choose the opportunity to canonize them all as earls, of course, whether they are earls of real power depends on the situation.

The title of viscount is a newly proposed title by William, which is generally higher than the baron and lower than the earl.

The English viscount comes from the Old French visconte (modern French vicomte). The word comes from the medieval Latin vicecomitem, the accusative of vicecomes, which originally meant "vice" (vice) (comes), and "comes" also developed into a knighthood in the Middle Ages. There are also French vicomte and Italian visconte, so the viscount can also be called the vice-count.

In Normandy, where William ruled, a viscount owned thirty estates, about three times as many as the average baron, and about one-third as many estates as some of the great barons, and about one-third as the number of estates that the average count administered.

In addition, some knights and lieutenant barons were also promoted for their merits in this battle, such as Sir Lawrence, who was promoted to baron by William due to his ability to negotiate, and as many as eleven knights and lieutenant barons were promoted to barons.

Of course, the largest number was still knights, and this fierce war produced more than 600 knightly nobles, as well as more than 30 knights and vice-barons.

These new nobles all have a common characteristic, most of them come from William's Guards Brigade and the 1st and 2nd Army Corps, or have the experience of being William's squire, they are all close officers who are concerned by William, they are deeply trusted by William, and they have certain uniqueness and achievements in commanding operations.

Combined with the nobles and knights that William had canonized in the previous years, the number of these new nobles trusted by William exceeded the number of old nobles, which gave William another layer of control over the territory.

The names of the canons have been finalized and announced, but now is not the time to canonize them, for William and Archbishop Hamelin will hold a grand and solemn ceremony and celebration, which, in the solemn atmosphere of Rouen Cathedral, will be even more contagious and will make the canonized even more loyal to William.

While William was busy preparing for the canonization ceremony with Archbishop Hamelin, the Dijon girl he was looking forward to. Duck had been brought by Osborne's butler, and was waiting in the parlour of the Duke's Palace.

Upon hearing the news, William immediately put down the business at hand, and after explaining to the Archbishop of Hamelin, he couldn't wait to go to the drawing room of the Duke's Palace to meet the peasant girl Jenny.

William, who entered the living room, saw Jenny standing below at a glance, wearing blonde hair, with a beautiful face and elegant bearing, and at the same time she revealed a strong temperament and masculinity that ordinary women do not have, although her face was a little sunburned, and she was also an ordinary peasant girl, but this still could not hide her charm, she was as dazzling as the sun, and she only fascinated William in an instant.

"Uh-huh." Butler Osborne came to William's side and reminded him with a cough in his ear.

Osborne's cough brought William to his senses, and he looked up at Jenny's expression carefully, only to see that her face was a little unhappy, compared to what means Osborne's butler used to make her unhappy in order to invite her to Normandy.

"You must be Jenny. Lady Dark, please forgive me for inviting you in such a way, and I apologize to you. William said with a sincere face.

The anger on Jenny's face subsided slightly, and she looked at William with a pair of wonderful eyes, and said: "I have heard the oracles brought by the angels St. Michael, St. Margali, and St. Galena, and I am looking for the king who can truly rule the kingdom of France in this world, the king of destiny. It is my mission and obligation to find him and assist him. ”

Jenny's voice is gentle and clear, very feminine, her figure is well-proportioned and plump, her height of 1.64 meters is a little taller than that of women at this time, and her golden hair and holy temperament add a lot to her already beautiful appearance.

Compared to her pretty appearance, William was fascinated by her masculinity, femininity and masculinity, but these two opposing affairs coexisted harmoniously in Jenny, making her fatally attractive to William.

William was slightly fascinated, stunned for a while, before he came to his senses, stretched out his hand and said politely: "Lady Jenny, please sit down, I have prepared a table of sumptuous dishes for you here, I hope you can forgive me for my rudeness." ”

"Just call me Jenny, Lord Duke, since I'm already in Normandy, let me stay here for the first time, and hope that the God's chosen Destiny King is you, Lord William." Jenny nodded yes, calmly.
