The triumphant return of Duke Hubert heralded the end of the Norman Wars, whether it was the suppression of the Godwin rebellion in England or the war to carve up the Emir of Zaragoza.

In England, the Godwin family was so powerful that by the time Cnut the Great had accumulated its strength, by the time Edward the Confessor was crowned King of England, the family's territory had spread over the vast southern and central parts of the Kingdom of England, so much so that Edward the Confessor had to rely on the help of the Duke of Mercia and the Duke of Northumbria, as well as William, who was then the Duke of Normandy, to fight against the Godwin.

This shows the strength of the Godwin family.

However, after William's conquest and several rebellions and purges, the strength of the Godwin family has been greatly weakened, and the Anglo-Saxon nobles who originally wanted the Godwin family were either confiscated titles and territories, or gradually withered, and the rest had to think about whether it was beneficial to follow the Godwin family rebellion.

Therefore, the scale of the rebellion, led by the Godwins, was not large. It stands to reason that William should put down the rebellion quickly, but he was tired of the rebellion of the Anglo-Saxon nobles, and he decided to put an end to it once and for all.

To this end, William sent his Richard. Morality. The Anglo-Saxon nobles in Normandy, who were responsible for cleaning up the Kingdom of England, set off an unprecedented purge in England under the pretext that they were colluding with the Godwin family to intend to rebel, with the intention of completely eliminating the Anglo-Saxon nobles of the Kingdom of England.

So far, the matter is going well, and so far more than 1,000 Anglo-Saxon nobles have been liquidated, either under pretexts or deported, and the entire Thames has been red.

However, hundreds of Saxon nobles escaped Norman arrest and were forced to cooperate with the Godwin family in their rebellion against the Norman reign of terror.

Although England was still in tatters, William's core fidelity, the Duchy of Wessex, and the other Norman nobles' territories were not damaged much, mostly to the frontier and northern counties, and the losses were relatively light.

In exchange for expelling the Anglo-Saxons and gaining possession of their estates, it was generally a great profit, so William often urged the Duke of Richard and Baron Richard to speed up the purge of the Saxon nobility.

As for the confiscated Saxon estates, William gave most of them to the crown and the rest of the estates in central and northern England were given to the barons and knights who had performed their services in the war.

The Saxon nobles of the Kingdom of England were already fat in William's bowl and could not fly out no matter what, and he was more concerned about the situation on the battlefield of Zaragoza at this time, because it was related to the future expansion of the Norman kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula.

Since William and the Grand Vizier of Córdoba agreed a few months ago, they have complied with the agreement and persuaded the emirs of Badajoz, Toledo, Valencia and Mallorca to launch the battlefield of Zaragoza.

As these powerful emir states of Spain went to war, the tide immediately tilted in favor of William and his father-in-law, Ferdinand I.

William and Ferdinand I also had to thank the emirs of Badajoz and Toledo, if they had not intervened in the war and expelled from Zaragoza the Christian effects of the kingdoms of Navarre, the public kingdom of Allah, and Barcelona, who were trying to fish in troubled waters, how could he and Ferdinand I monopolize the entire emir state of Zaragoza?

Due to William's relationship with Córdoba, when the emirs of Badajoz, Toledo, and Valencia withdrew with their troops, William immediately received the news and ordered Duke Rodrigo stationed in Lleida and Count Robert in Soria to divide their forces and follow their ass to attack the city and seize the city.

Of course, he would not forget his father-in-law, Ferdinand I, after all, without the cooperation of the Ccasts, William would not have been able to get a share of the war in the emir state of Zaragoza.

With William's news, the Normans and Castils acted quickly, and in less than half a month, they pacified the entire territory of Zaragoza from the east and west, leaving only the city of Zaragoza still breathing.

And those small kingdoms who tried to fish in troubled waters could only watch the Normans and Castils conquer Zaragoza at this time, but they were powerless to intervene.

According to the agreement between William and Ferdinand I, William obtained Lleida and Tarragona in Zaragoza, and obtained Ferdinand I's recognition of his future expedition to the Duchy of Barcelona, that is, Ferdinand I and the Castile people recognized Barcelona as belonging to William's sphere of influence.

In return, William also recognized Ferdinand I's interest in the Kingdom of Navarre and the Kingdom of Aragon.

In this battle, Ferdinand I was arguably the biggest winner in this battle, capturing the three kingdoms of Zaragoza, Calatayud, and Albarasin, eliminating an important opponent in the eastern part of the kingdom of Castile.

William also gained a lot on his side, acquiring the two kingdoms of Lleida and Tarragona, which he did not care about, and conveniently canonized Duke Rodrigo.

What he valued was that after this war, the Norman kingdom had obtained the ticket to conquer the Moorish kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula.

In the direction of future expansion, William and Ferdinand I also made a rough division, in general, Valencia, Mallorca, Mercia, and Grenada, which were close to the Mediterranean, were divided into William's side, Badajoz, Toledo, and Seville were divided into the Kingdom of Castile, and Córdoba was divided between the two.

From then on, the Normans could have conquered the Duchy of Barcelona in the east, Valencia, Mallorca, and Grenada in the south, and Toledo and Córdoba in the west, expanding the scope of the Norman kingdom without having to fight with the Holy Roman Empire.

But having said that, in fact, William is most concerned about the situation of the Holy Roman Empire, because in the whole of Europe, the Holy Roman Empire is the country that can prevent William from dominating the European continent, as for Norway and the Danes, the Papal States are full of appeal but weak, and the Kingdom of Castile is in a corner and has an alliance with William by marriage, so the threat is not great.

Therefore, in fact, as long as the Holy Roman Empire is destroyed, or this vast empire is divided, this Europe can no longer stop the iron hooves of the Normans, and the future can be expected to reproduce the great deeds of Charlemagne.
