William's troubles are inconvenient for him to solve by himself, but his vassals will do it for him.

King Edward the Confessor of England had become a stumbling block to William's path to the throne of England, but he could not kill Edward with his own hands.

If William really did it himself, then he would be charged with killing the king and become the target of thousands of people in Europe.

In medieval Europe, monarchicides were despised, and the rebels of historical monarchicides, such as the Lionheart's younger brother, and Russia's Godunov who killed the puppet tsar, were all reviled and considered rebels in the end.

William, as Edward's vassal and regent, as well as the heir to the throne, if he is charged with killing the king, it is guaranteed that no matter at home or abroad, someone will immediately jump out against William, and those who pretend to the throne of England will also join forces to attack William.

Historically, there have not been as many regicides in Europe as in other regions, mainly due to two reasons, one is a more important principle of tolerance in Western politics, and the other is the issue of royal blood.

For example, John, the most typical landless king, was unanimously opposed by the nobility, the church, and the common people due to the tax increase and the economic recession at the time, and was besieged, and then everyone knew about it, and was forced to sign the Magna Carta.

We can find that this grandson was not overthrown, replaced, or even killed, but was brought to the negotiating table to sign a treaty, which is a principle of tolerance.

So much so that King John later tore up the Magna Carta, and then was arrested and signed a treaty. You see, the way of thinking they are different from us in many places.

Moreover, the importance of blood is beyond imagination, and non-royal blood cannot be qualified to overthrow the royal family, which is also a major feature of the feudal system.

Of course, William did not have to take into account the above two points, the Normans, as the de facto conquerors of the Kingdom of England, did not need to be lenient against their enemies, and William defeated and expelled all the heirs to the throne of England, so he could inherit the throne of England after Edward's death.

But in terms of specific operations, it is necessary to be more cautious, and other nobles cannot be allowed to grasp the handle.

William had not yet moved on King Edward's murderous intentions, but his nobles began to act.

William's military intelligence commander Russell. Morality. Viscount Creppon and the Mayor of London, Dan Cred, conspire to cause an accident and assassinate Edward the Confessor.

In order to create the illusion that he had nothing to do with the Normans, Viscount Russell, who was in charge of Edward the Confessor, invited King Edward and the Anglo-Saxon nobles of London to hold a grand safari in the nearby New Hunting Grounds.

In order to get rid of Edward's death and the Normans, Viscount Russell enlisted an Anglo-Saxon nobleman, Hereward. Sir Wake.

Sir Hereward was a Thine nobleman of the Duchy of Northumbria who excelled in archery. The Duke of Northumbria rebelled against William's war and was captured after defeat.

It was not only himself who was taken prisoner in the war, but also his only son, Samson. Wake.

In order to save his son, Sir Hereward considered it again and again, and finally agreed to Viscount Russell's offer to kill King Edward the Confessor with a bow and arrow during the safari.

The script follows the script negotiated between Viscount Russell and London Mayor Dan Cred.

Halfway through the safari, a stag happened to pass by King Edward's side.

The stag succeeded in piquing Edward's interest, and it was at this time that Sir Hereward invited the king to hunt the stag with him.

Because of Sir Hereward's status as an Anglo-Saxon nobleman, Edward agreed to the other party's invitation without much thought, separated from the Anglo-Saxon and Norman nobles who accompanied him, and went deep into the hunting ground with Sir Hereward to hunt stags.

Before leaving, the sergeant major prepared eight arrows for Edward and Ser Hereward, of which Edward took five and Ser Hereward received three.

Edward and Ser Hereward moved away from the crowd, and it didn't take long for them to spot the buck that had appeared next to them.

Almost at the same time, the two of them bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the stag in front of them and shooting arrows.

Burst... Whew...

Two distinctly different voices rang out, oh God, King Edward's arrow had hit the stag, but Sir Hereward's arrow had hit King Edward's chest.

King Edward felt a sharp pain in his chest and the loss of his physical strength, and in a hurry he reached out and broke the arrow that had been shot into his chest.

However, his action hastened King Edward's death, and by the time Ser Hayward stepped forward to pick him up, he was already unconscious.

Although he was forced to do so, Sir Harry Ward did not dare to return to the hunting camp, so he turned on his horse and hurried out of the hunting grounds of the New Forest, where he was never found.

By the time King Edward was discovered by the Anglo-Saxon nobles and Normans who had arrived later, he had been dead for a long time.

Viscount Russell's men immediately jumped out and pointed out on the spot that Sir Harry Ward, who was in contact with Edward, had killed the king, and the evidence was the arrow stuck in King Edward's chest and the broken shaft of the arrow in his hand.

The arrows they took before they left were specially made, unlike the others, so everyone present could tell who had assassinated King Edward.

After Viscount Russell returned King Edward's body to the Tower of London and informed William of this, he sent spies to spread the news of Sir Hereward's murder throughout England.

Soon, a wanted warrant jointly issued by Viscount Russell and the Mayor of London, Dencrad, spread throughout England, officially wanting Sir Hereward, the regre's killer.

When William received this startling news, it was already two days after the assassination, and he was too late to do anything, so he had to act according to the script that Viscount Russell had agreed upon.

"Edward died in the New Forest, at the hands of the nobles who accompanied him, and this is the same as the successor of William the Conqueror in history. The cause of Hoover's death was almost identical, and it was simply God's arrangement. William let go of the shock of hearing the news at first, and couldn't help but think to himself.

Although he was very unhappy in his heart, William had to admit that Viscount Russell's self-assertion did remove his move to the throne of England, and on the surface it had nothing to do with the Normans, it was an internal matter of the Anglo-Saxons.

Without further ado, William put aside everything he had at hand, gathered the Norman nobles and troops in Winchester, and eagerly marched towards the city of London.

When William arrived in London, many Norman nobles and bishops of the Church of England were already outside London to welcome William.

Among them was the Duke of Belgium and the Governor of York, Andrew. Ferdinand, Duke of Dalton and Earl of Westmoreland. Grylls, Count of Schlosssbury, Roger. Morality. Montgomery, Earl of Chester, Richard. Morality. Alfrance, Baldwin, Earl of Lancaster. Morality. Brionne, Earl of Hereford, Geoffrey. Morality. Mantville, Russell. Morality. Norman noble vassals such as Viscount Crépon, as well as ecclesiastical figures such as Eldred, Archbishop of York, and Stigand, Archbishop of Canterbury.

Obviously, this is a premeditation, a drama with a yellow robe.
