Prince William's ancestors were not French, but Normans, and the Norman meaning refers to the northerners, meaning the Vikings from Scandinavia, and in later generations there was a name for the Norse.

Prior to the conversion to Christianity, the kings of the Norsemen were regarded as descendants of Odin (the god Warden) and were the sons of Odin, so the king's position was above the world, as well as above any church leader.

Therefore, the first Norman duke led the Normans to convert to Christianity but still maintained the old tradition, the king was the supreme leader of the seven dioceses of Normandy, and had the right to appoint the leaders of the Normandy church and monasteries, without the need to accept any advice from the clergy, and the church also owed collective allegiance to the duke, not to the distant pope.

Therefore, William's family not only served as a political leader, but also the head of the Normandy church was mostly held by members of the ducal family.

Even though the Vatican's pope had already decreed celibacy, the bishops of the Diocese of Normandy still refused to go to the Vatican.

In Normandy, the clergy were allowed to marry and start their own families, and the appointment and dismissal came from the duke, and for the benefit of their own families, the clergy were naturally more subject to the duke than to the pope.

When Uncle Robert had a child of his own, that child's inheritance was second only to William, which was perfectly reasonable and legitimate, and when a nine-year-old child died unexpectedly, then Uncle Robert's son could naturally inherit the position of duke.

"Get out of here now, please start your journey, the only one who can shelter you now is your cousin Edward, who is now the king of England, even if Bishop Robert completely usurps the throne, only your cousin can shelter you. Your father used to shelter him, and now when you go to England, you will be treated with kindness by him, and maybe even become his trusted minister."

"Dr. Andersen, what do you mean by that, aren't you coming with me to England?"

William was a little at a loss at this time, he had lost his mother at a very young age, he had lost his father two years earlier, and now he was only a nine-year-old child, and he was extremely dependent on adults and his teacher, Dr. Andersen, in such a dangerous time.

"You have to go alone, or you won't be able to go, I have to disguise myself as you to attract soldiers, don't underestimate me, I'm a magician. See that gold coin in your baggage? Listen to me, child, it's a lucky gold coin that will allow you to enter the world of elves, and if you hide in the forest, you will be sheltered, good luck."

Hans Christian Andersen handed the burden to William, then lit a candle, snapped his fingers, and with a burst of magic, a child who looked similar to William appeared across from him, as if William was looking in the mirror.

"Can I still see you?"

William finally realized something at this time, his eyes were full of uncontrollable tears, and he covered his mouth, even he understood what it meant when Dr. Andersen used magic to transform into him.

"If fate has made it happen, then we will definitely meet again in the future." Dr. Andersen smiled.

"Go, Prince, promise me that in the future you must be a good, outstanding person, live with integrity, live bravely, live with kindness, and if fate arranges for you to be a king, then you must be a wise king."

Dr. Andersen looked at the burning candle on the table, walked over, removed the lampshade and pushed the candle down, the flame burned on the tablecloth on the table, he took off the other candle and lit the curtains, and in a moment the prince's room was instantly ablaze.

"Run, what are you doing here?" Dr. Andersen scolded.

"Yes, Doctor, I will not forget what you said, I will be a true hero, a good king."

Prince William took a deep breath and agreed to the request of Mr. Hans Christian Andersen, when suddenly the bell rang in the castle, and a large number of soldiers began to gather towards the prince's castle.

"To protect the prince, you must kill anyone in the palace who comes and goes at will, they may murder the prince."

William was embarrassed

Running out of the castle where he lived, he saw a large number of soldiers rushing into the palace, among which a group of soldiers in white armor stood out.

He instantly realized that his uncle had already decided in his heart during the time when the child was born, if the child born by his wife was a daughter, then he would be able to survive and nothing would happen.

In France, in the Viking tradition, a woman could not inherit the throne or a title, and Uncle Robert would only act resolutely if he had undoubtedly given birth to a son.

In this era, the rate of infant mortality is very high, and if a nine-year-old child has an accident, even outsiders can't say anything, as long as there is no conclusive evidence, then the king and the church can only acquiesce.

It was not the army in the castle that entered the palace, but the army from the Count of the Palatinate in the Holy Roman Empire.

I heard that the Earl had passed away, and now it was his second wife who was in charge, the most beautiful queen in the world, and was called the Snow White Queen because her skin was as white as snow.

The baddies and the baddies have joined forces.

William ran, all night ahead, the pursuit of the soldiers made him afraid to expose his target in the direction, he ran to the south, he was going to hide in the forest.

Run as hard as you can, run as hard as you can.

The world is so vast, and he is like a frog at the bottom of a well, and he wipes away his tears and tells himself from the bottom of his heart that to overcome his cowardice, he must be brave enough to carry Hans Christian Andersen's hopes, to be an upright, brave, and kind man, to be a hero, a good king.

I'm tired, I'm tired.

Prince William was reluctant to run day and night, even if he wanted to have a good rest, but behind him were the soldiers who were in hot pursuit, they had horses, and he only had two legs, and he had to run to the mountains and deep forests to survive.

When you are hungry, you eat some hard bread, when you are thirsty, you drink a little water from a kettle, and when you are sure that there is no danger, you climb up a tree to rest.

He crossed a large expanse of wilderness and meadows, and then the mountains, and although the road was rough, he did not dare to stop, he knew that such a road would be difficult for him to walk, but he also knew that for the pursuers behind him, the rough road could also limit their movement.

The lucky gold coin was shining hot in his hand, and Prince William didn't know how long he had been running, climbing mountains and wading through rivers along the way, evading the pursuit of soldiers, and every time he still saved the day with the help of the lucky gold coin.

So cold, so hungry, so thirsty.

William didn't know how long he walked, maybe three days, maybe ten days, or even half a month, at this time he couldn't help but be sleepy, he saw an apple forest in the distance, and his face was also with a touch of joy.

The water was babbling, and William swallowed several mouthfuls of the rock-hard cake, and lay on the ground and gulped down the water.

Strange, this water is so sweet, and there is a rich fragrance that cannot be dispersed, William drank the water, and suddenly remembered, it seems that his mother has such a fragrance in his memory, and the whole body exudes the fragrance of flowers, and there are also noble ladies in the palace banquet who apply a similar smell of incense powder.

It's a woman's taste.

William mustered himself to look ahead, and suddenly heard a shrill female voice, a frightened cry, and in front of him was a place of holy light.

This, this, this, this is the fairy seems to be bathing, and I am drinking......
