These days, the King of England, Edward the Confessor, is in a bad mood, and he seems to have been completely untouched by the Black Death that invaded England, and he looks full of ambition.

The Duke of Godwin's power was deeply rooted and intertwined in England. His eldest son, Swain, owned Oxford, Bakers, and Gloucestershire, and his second son, the Earl of Anglia east of Harold, also led Essex.

As far as he knew, most of Godwin's estates were abandoned due to the rampant Black Death, and the rest could only protect themselves under the cover of the Black Death, and they were unable to provide much financial and military strength to the Godwin family.

Compared with the miserable Godwin family, Edward was not happy as the king of England, and his only territories in his hands, Middlesex and the city of London, were also greatly damaged by the Black Death, with more than 20,000 deaths and countless economic and property losses.

But the good news was that the Duke of Mercia and the Duke of Northumbria of the Heseway family in central and northern England did not suffer much loss, and the strength of the vast aristocracy of northern England was well preserved.

Most of these nobles in the north of England supported the Wickes family and supported him Edward, as long as he played the banner of Alfred the Great and the Wickses family, they would unite under the command of King Edward, who was a descendant of the White Dragon, against the Godwin.

More importantly, Edward, with the support of William, recruited many Norman nobles and priests over the years, and formed a direct legion under his orders with Normans as the backbone, which was the reason why he was full of confidence.

It stands to reason that Edward, as the king of England, should calm down and wait for the Black Death to pass before taking action, so that not only the Godwin family's territory and strength will be damaged the most, but Edward's strength will also be enhanced.

But Edward the 'Confessor' couldn't bear it any longer, all this was from the Godwin's persecution, and the only Middlesex County he could control was surrounded by Godwin's territory, and his decree could not be carried out without the unity of the Godwin.

He was like a puppet set up by the Godwin family, and everything he did and said was restricted by Godwin, and even his private life was interfered with by the Godwin.

I don't know how many times, Edward's brother-in-law, Harold. Godwinson was always urging him and Queen Judith to have a child so that they could continue the Wicketh lineage. But Edward knew that the Godwins were not happy at all, and that it was not enough for them to use him, and that they wanted to continue to manipulate his children and grandchildren and the Dexth family, how could this be forgiven.

Now is the right time, Vices, Kent, East Anglia and other southern territories of England have been ravaged by the Black Death, the strength of the Godwin family has fallen to the freezing point, as long as he can get William's support, he can turn the tide and uproot the Godwin family.

In order to ask William and the Normans for help, he tried to get closer to the Normans. During his reign, Edward's favor for the Normans led to a large number of Normans in the English court. The Norman language, customs, etc., soon became popular in the kingdom. Among the British, learning French is very popular. Ministers competed to imitate French costumes, amusements, etc., and lawyers used French in their lawsuits and documents, etc.

With Edward's trust, the Normans controlled much of the kingdom's public affairs, which aroused the jealousy and resentment of the British, especially the Chancellor, Earl Godwin.

Earl, Duke of Wickess. The conflict between Godwin and the king was already so strong that there was no possibility of reconciliation, so Edward decided to secretly assemble a large army first, and at the same time sent secret envoys to Normandy to contact William and ask him for reinforcements.

In addition, Edward came up with a trick in which he ordered Godwin's second son, his brother-in-law, Harold to take a chance. Godwinson travelled to Normandy to reconfirm William's succession to the throne of England, so that he could not only get rid of Harold. Godwinson, who can win the support of William, will be able to kill two birds with one stone.

Harold was no less ambitious than his father, Earl Goldwin, and especially in all respects. After Harold became the cardinal, he humbly eased the old feud between the king and the Goldwins. Beneath the superficial humility, however, is a gradual increase in his authority in the kingdom.

Faced with such an enemy, Edward turned a direct interest in Harold. Godwinson's jealousy was greater than that of his father, Earl. Godwin is even more so, if he can get rid of Harold before he launches, he will have a much higher chance of uprooting Godwin.

Receiving orders from King Edward, Harold. Without much thought, Godwinson accepted the order and set off for Normandy to visit the Norman King William. However, he did not know that Edward and William had already communicated secretly, and that he would be imprisoned by William when he arrived in Normandy.

Calculated Harold. When Godwin left England and arrived in Normandy, King Edward took the first step, ordering his army to deal with Godwin's forces in London and Middlesex, and then sending troops to Wixeshire in order to directly destroy the center of the Godwin family and capture the Godwin family.

At first, King Edward's army advanced rapidly, defeating Godwin's army in Oxfordshire all the way west and then heading south to Vicescounty.

Suddenly attacked by King Edward, Earl. Godwin was also confused, how could he think of a cowardly puppet king as having the courage to go against the Godwin, but the reality slapped him hard, and Edward actually led an army to attack the Godwin, which made him furious.

However, now that the Godwin's forces were still scattered across the territory, it would take plenty of time to assemble their forces. Godwin led his army in battle, and his eldest son, Swyn and his third son, Tostig, had a great talent for military affairs, and successfully blocked the menacing King's army in Wickesshire. Godwin began to raise troops in Dorset, Somerset, Devon, Wiltminshire, Gloucestershire, Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Essex and East Anglia.

The unfortunate news came one after another, and it turned out that Harold. Godwinson received an inside tip, and instead of going to Normandy as Edward had envisioned, he sailed to East Anglia and Essex to prepare for a counterattack.

The situation was reversed in an instant, and King Edward, who had the advantage of the opportunity, fell into the dilemma of being attacked on his back.
