According to the process, after the coronation ceremony at Rouen Cathedral, William and Urraca will ride an open float through the streets of Rouen, and then in the evening they will go to the Royal Palace, the former Ducal Palace, for a celebratory ball.

In order to protect the safety of the incoming king and queen, the streets of Rouen were full of guards, but these guards could not stop the enthusiastic Normans, and almost all the guards in armor were drowned by the ragged people.

Referring to the traditions of the Kingdom of France, and also to celebrate the coronation of a new king, the city of Rouen will enter a moment of revelry.

Fireworks have been prepared in the city's major squares, ribbons and musical instruments have been distributed to the general public, and wine, fruit wine and barley wine, which are essential for the festival, have been prepared. Hundreds of barrels of wine from Provence and Porto were brought into the city in dozens of wooden wagons, and wine barrels and beer barrels piled on horse-drawn carts could be seen everywhere around the corner of the street.

William and Uraka. Jimena stepped into the royal carriage in front of the Cathedral of Rouen.

The gold-painted carriage is pulled by four tall and majestic white horses, and the body is completely open, with the walls of the carriage removed from the surrounding compartment and only four square pillars supporting the roof.

There are two thrones side by side on the car, and the two thrones are identical in terms of materials and decoration, the only difference is in the back of the seat. The top of the back of the chair on the left resembles the "king" of chess, which is William's throne. The top of the back of the chair on the right is like the "queen" of chess. Jimena's seat. Both thrones are painted in white, and on top of them are velvet blankets with the coats of arms of kings and queens.

In addition to the throne, the rest of the carriage was also luxuriously decorated.

The roof of the carriage resembles the sloping roof of an oriental building, and at the top of its roof there is a copper ball, the surface of which is gilded. The four square pillars of the carriage were wrapped in coloured silk, and the eaves below the roof were also decorated with coloured silk of five colours.

The carriage was luxurious, but it was only part of the procession. In addition to the king and queen, the parade also includes other members of the royal family.

The King's carriage was followed by a float in which William's mother, Arlett, was riding. Compared to the king's float, her car has no roof removed, but it is filled with flowers of different colors.

After his mother, Arlett, was William's half-brother Otto. Morality. Contewell and Robert. Morality. Contwell's carriage.

They were William's most trusted male relatives like Count Adolphus, unlike his uncle Tyrone, Earl of Ack, and William, Count of Urburg, a rebel, and his cousin Kay of Burgundy, who did not succeed to Mandy, and William could trust him with confidence.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, their second brother Otto was appointed by William as the successor of the Bishop of Bayeuux, and the third Robert was canonized by him as Baron de Le Mans of the County of Main.

In addition to the ornate floats, William also took the safety of the parade seriously.

The defense of the King's procession consisted of three parts.

At the forefront were young aristocratic knights who had just graduated from the Royal Military Academy and had been born into a generation of nobles. They rode neatly on white horses, dressed in shiny full-body plate armor, covered with burqas painted with the coat of arms of two golden lions on a red background, armed with riding spears and zither-shaped shields with ornate banners, and wore cavalry swords with exquisite gilded hilts.

The Royal Military Academy was originally reorganized from the Knight Academy, responsible for teaching the children of the nobility knight martial arts, command tactics, geographical surveying and mapping, etc., is a military academy used by William to train officers at all levels, and its students include all the children of the nobility, whether they are the children of the earl family, or the children of the hereditary knight family, they all have the opportunity to enter the Knight Academy, and the only admission criterion is the annual entrance test.

This is what William specifically requested, and within the aristocracy, William tried to be as fair and just as possible, so that everyone in the noble order had the same opportunity.

Naturally, different levels of nobles have different bonus policies according to the level of nobility, and the children of the earl family can even be admitted without entrance exams and directly promoted to the elite class, which is also where William had to compromise in order to take care of most of the low-level nobles.

After graduating, these cadets of the Royal Military Academy will be appointed directly to mid-level officers such as infantry battalion commanders and cavalry company commanders, and some will be included in William's Guards Cavalry Brigade for further intensive training, depending on their school performance and test results.

The noble cavalry was followed by five hundred infantry selected from the Guards Regiment's hoplite brigade, followed by five hundred infantry from the Norman heavy infantry brigade of the First Legion, and the elite Guards cavalry as the rear guard and left and right flanks.

The three floats were surrounded by the Guards Heavy Infantry Brigade, the Norman Heavy Infantry Brigade of the First Regiment protected the Norman nobles who were allowed to participate in the parade and the foreign nobles who participated in the parade, and the Guards cavalry was arranged on the left and right flanks of the procession and the rear guard.

The grandeur of the parade is a great way to show off the royal prestige of Normandy, but behind this prestige is a huge overhead.

The total cost of this coronation ceremony exceeded 100,000 pounds of silver, nearly half of which was spent on the procession, and these three luxurious floats alone cost no more than 10,000 pounds of silver, not to mention that William had to buy military uniforms, swords, and rent horses for everyone who attended, especially those cadets of the military academy, their own financial resources could not afford such high expenses, and William needed to subsidize most of the equipment for them.

Overall, William's expenses at this coronation ceremony were extremely large, but this seemingly large-scale ceremony did not actually have any impact on the royal family's finances, and with William's huge annual income, he could afford all the expenses of this coronation ceremony.

The float started and the procession began to move, and William, taking advantage of the lack of attention, whispered in Uraka. Jimena asked in his ear: "Uraka, you don't look very happy?" ”

"No, I don't have anything, Your Majesty." Uraka looked a little restrained, without the confidence and Zhizhu in the past, his tone was very respectful, and his words were too serious, which caused William's doubts.

"Are you afraid of something?" Louis's keen intuition sensed the ulaca. There was a hidden fear in Ximena's voice.

"Not really, Your Majesty." Uraka. Ximena replied calmly, but her heart trembled.

She was constantly thinking back to the scene at the Cathedral of Rouen, and to standing in front of the throne wearing the crown of the queen to accept the allegiance of the nobles, and she came to a conclusion that frightened her.

"William can send the crown to the top of my head, and naturally he can take it off my head, William and I are only unmarried after all, and they are not married, and my queen status is not guaranteed."

Uraka was deceiving herself, William couldn't give up the alliance with the Castils, and naturally he couldn't give up Uraka, but it couldn't stop her from thinking in this direction.
