Chapter 561: Hildebrand's New Idea

"Where is this, the pomp is so big, there are several big nobles escorting it just by looking at the flag, it's really amazing!" One of the guards on the road outside the city gate couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the mighty convoy in front of him.

"You're too ill-informed, Olsen." One of the guards next to him laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't make fun of him, Oshulf, you are from Normandy, of course you know more, a French farmer like Olsen is naturally not aware that this is the convoy of Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Prince." A young officer in half-body plate armor walked over and said with a smile.

"Captain Maje!" Olsen, a Frenchman-born guard, immediately straightened his chest and gave Olsen a standard military salute.

"Yes, I see, Captain Marge!" Oshulf smiled awkwardly and agreed.

"Alright, Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Prince are coming, accompanied by His Majesty's two kings, Lord Count Theodore and Lord Robert, if you don't want to be punished, keep your mouth shut!" Captain Ma Ge said with a straight face.

"Yes, Captain Marge!" The two said in unison.

At the same time, beside the trio, Cardinal Hildebrand also heard their conversation, and his eyes rolled with a purr.

Yesterday Hildebrand wanted to go to the Bishopric of Agen in Aquitaine, but was sternly rejected by William, which made him very depressed, and it happened that the weather was good today, and Hildebrand decided to go out for a walk.

Walking around bustling Paris is a pleasure, if not with a few Normans.

These days, Hildebrand always noticed that the Normans were always in sight, both overtly protected and covertly surveillance.

Just as something interesting seemed to be happening outside the city, the citizens of Paris poured out of the city, and the sides of the avenue crowded outside the city gate seemed to wait for something, and Hildebrand's eyes grunted, and he decided to use the crowd to shake off the heels behind him.

"Your Excellency, I am the captain of the First Legion, Ma Ge, do you need any help?" When Captain Manger saw the bishop's uniform and the bishop's crown on Bishop Hildebrand, he immediately leaned in and asked with a smile.

"Hello Sergeant Marge, I am Bishop Hildebrand, I heard that there are noble nobles here who have come to Paris, I want to ask what the situation is, and tell me in detail." Hildebrand asked kindly.

"Yes, Your Excellency, today is the day when Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Prince arrive in Paris from London, accompanied by His Majesty, Lord Otto, Earl of Denden, Lord Robert, Earl of Norfolk, and Lord Russell, Earl of Suffolk.

In order to welcome the arrival of Her Majesty the Queen, Her Royal Highness the Prince, and several counts, His Majesty Wilhelm specially ordered the soldiers of the Guards Regiment and the First Regiment to guard the road outside the west gate of Paris. Sergeant Horse said respectfully.

"May the Lord bless you, Sergeant Male, thank you so much." Bishop Hildebrand thanked him and said, "Could you please take me to see with my own eyes Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Prince, there are so many people here that I can't see it clearly." ”

"Wrap it up with me, Bishop, please wait a moment, and I'll go and report this to my superiors." Sergeant Ma Ge said in a big way.

After a while, Sergeant Marge returned with good news, and said excitedly: "My superior, Sir Aldryk, has agreed, and he has prepared a stand with a good view, and I will show you the way." ”

"Then I'll trouble you, Sergeant Marge." Bishop Hildebrand smiled and thanked him.

"This is what I should do, my lord, you are too polite, just tell me if you have any sends." Sergeant Ma Ge hurriedly waved his hand and said.

Led by Sergeant Marge, Bishop Hildebrand then went to a special stand for officers on the side of the road, from which he could clearly see the winding procession ahead.

Bishop Hildebrand is the highest step in the stands, with a wider and clearer view.

As the convoy approached, the first thing that caught your eye was the two kings, Robert of Norfolk and Earl of Odo, dressed in splendid armor, led by hundreds of cavalry guards to guard the queen and prince's carriage in the center, and there were more guards infantry around, which looked quite spectacular.

Hildebrand looked around and saw a noblewoman under twenty years old wearing a crown on her head and holding a three-year-old boy in her hands, smiling and nodding to those around her.

Every time Queen Ukara nodded her head, the people around her would always erupt in waves of cheers.

Bishop Hildebrand noticed that the prince Richard was not only handsome and physically strong, but also had a mature and steady temperament, as if the man were not a three-year-old child.

"It should be said that His Royal Highness Prince Richard, the eldest son heir of His Majesty William, is indeed quite a royal family, with a noble temperament, and unlimited future achievements." Bishop Hildebrand couldn't help but admire.

Immediately afterwards, the crowds on both sides of the road in front of the convoy were in an uproar, and it turned out that it was their king, His Majesty William I, with a large group of Norman Guards knights, who had come to greet Queen Uraka and Prince Richard.

However, this commotion was quickly suppressed by the guards stationed on both sides.

William and Queen Uraka took little Prince Richard from her bosom, took him in their arms, and rode slowly with the carriage.

Hildebrand's brow furrowed as he watched William's appearance, and after these days of contact, he keenly sensed King William's inexplicable disgust and resistance to him and the Cluny faction.

Although William had great respect for him, when he asked to leave Paris and go to the Bishopric of Agen to serve as the patriarch of Aquitaine, William did not agree to this.

In the end, William's words made him angry: "Your Excellency Cardinal Hildebrand, your position of patriarch was appointed by His Majesty the Pope, but the suzerain and supreme head of the Kingdom Church is me, and you are still only my court priest before I recognize you as a patriarch." ”

William then said that he would send the Norman Bishop of FΓ©con to the Episcopal States of Agen as Archbishop of Aquitaine as his deputy, while he would serve as the pavement of the kingdom as the liaison between the Pope and William.

It was clear that William was deliberately trying to make things difficult and suspicious of him, which made him very angry.

Today, however, he saw Queen Urraca and Prince Richard outside Paris, and a bold idea came to him.
