288. Women Leave, Women Join (Book of Doom)

Oran on the tower is in talks about breaking up with the noblewoman of the kingdom who was supposed to give birth to a child as a royal claim.

The woman's face is dissatisfied, she has tasted love, touched marriage, and experienced calamities

No matter how handsome Oran is, he can't compare to the land that can guarantee him a decent life.

There is no "Boguo" that has been promised, and only a few villages are left as her private territory.

And these private lords are all under the care of the lord of the manor sent by Orlan.

She was given the nickname "Madame".

The spoils were more or less discussed, and Orlan received a portion of the territories off the coast of North Kent, as well as seven kingdom estates close to them, in return for his generous support of Alfred.

A woman's face is not as beautiful as natural beauty.

Orlan grabbed a handful of wheat and threw it on the tower, letting the birds come down and feed in the sky.

"There are too few eagles in Wessex, and in Northumbria, with a wave of my hand, the sky is full of golden feathers illuminated by the sun."

Orlan had something to say, and the Titan on the side raised his head for a moment, then lowered his gaze again.

"Your Excellency, I want to change the fiefdom......"

"The noble one is dead, but you are still alive and have received the manor, all because of my protection, you should be satisfied."

"I am an elder of the royal family."

"Did you know that the 'Book of Doom' will be released this afternoon?" Oran did not respond positively.

"What's that?" The woman shook her head.

"Doom is fair, not only for the rich, but also for the poor, for the nobles, for the beggars, for your enemies, for your relatives."

After Oran finished speaking, the princess still didn't understand.

The former did not explain, but said, "Go back to the manor and stay, and in a few months, if you can conceive my child, you will get more, otherwise you will have two paths, be a lady in peace, or become a monk and go to the monastery of King's Landing, and be a faithful woman."

Today will usher in the decree of the kingdom, and your fate will be in the Book of Doom, and you will be dealt with by the nobles who have made great mistakes in the 'Summer Invasion', and you will no longer be the elder recognized by the king. ”

The woman froze.

I didn't expect the new king, who had always been gentle, to be so ruthless.

"I want to see him!"

"No, Alfred has been corrupted by the Ring of Power, he can't see you, and I won't allow it.

Let's go, let's go now, the war isn't over yet, unless you want to go through three more full days, and it's hard to even find a glass of clean water. ”

This princess will be sent to live on the border of Kent by Oran.

Alfred acted decisively and arranged all the royal families who claimed to be strong and weak.

There is also a large amount of incriminating evidence in hand, and as long as these royal families dare to come out against themselves, they will be expelled and exiled, or even convicted.

Make it impossible for your enemies to profit from it.

Let the throne be strengthened forever.

Orlan watched his men take the woman away, and he watched from the tower.

The Titan felt that Orlan was too cold, and he was once ......

"Women go away, women join."

Oran learns Axel's phrase and clapps his hands to make an adaptation.

Then he said, "That's a good sentence, listen, find me more women, men, old people, children, we need more friends, more means." ”

"Yes."

"Titan, you've also had a discussion about the Book of Doom, what kind of book do you think it's about?"

The Titan restarted, "Crown Prince...... No, the new king added to the laws of the Seven Kingdoms, the laws of the times and the justice, to the codes of other nations,

And at the beginning, add the 'Ten Commandments of Moses' as the standard of Christian living. ”

"Pick a few words from it and give it to me."

"When judging, there is no need to pity the poor, there is no need to respect the great, there is no need to be just, not because of external influences."

"It's beautiful, but do you think someone did it?"

Orlan shouted a halt at the first sentence, and the Titan only said, "I'm just telling you what was written above, Your Excellency." ”

He continued until he was stopped by Orlan again.

"If a monk is seduced by a woman, the woman will be punished with a heavy sentence, which can be......

If a nun is taken away by a man without the consent of the king or the bishop, the man should pay the market rate, the income of an adult labourer for twelve years.

Half to the king, half to the church.

If a man dies before a woman, she will not be able to get a man's property, even a piece of wool. ”

"The king is the father of all, so why is a man so important than a woman? Is this in line with what he says is fair?

Why pay the king?

Isn't this the same as the book of indulgence that they have been criticizing me, it is all about enriching me.

Wessex 'Ten Thousand Taxes'!"

Oran smiled and threw all the wheat out of his hand.

The Titan stopped when asked, he knew that he couldn't say anything about Oran, because Oran was also equal to his father.

If a son dares to challenge his father, he will only be whipped and rebuked.

When Orlan finished belittling the king, the Titan continued, and when he talked about a certain decree, Orlan nodded in agreement this time.

"If a person has no intention of breaking a tree and harms or kills another person, he should give the tree to the deceased's relatives and apologize."

This decree made Oran think.

Under Anglo-Saxon customary law, such accidental deaths are often not effectively adjudicated.

Those who caused the accident feel that it is none of their business, and those who are injured or the relatives of the deceased feel that it is the bad luck caused by the other party.

Once mediation fails, it will be a blood feud for one or two generations.

If you don't pay attention, take a dung fork in the dark and give you a fork, and it's a new sin.

The lord should have a perfect legal system so that most people can be compensated for the abuses.

A tree is a valuable and precious commodity, and the crown prince means that when an unexpected loss is caused, it should be rewarded with a valuable commodity

, Spread the concept of negligence law to the minds of the people.

Once people know that they can get their own compensation with the help of the law, then at the first moment, people's intentions to fight will not be so high.

There are also various laws and customs related to people's livelihood.

However, at this time, it was a period of war, so it could not be completed, and it could only be improved one after another.

From this, you can see the gap between Alfred and Lionheart.

The latter simply relied on dogma and law to increase the wealth of the castle.

Once the lord doesn't take the people seriously, it will be almost doomed.

At this time, the battle situation in the middle realm has not yet come.

The last news Orlan received was that there had been a fierce fighting in Cambridgeshire.

According to the information he had, Ragnar would definitely not be able to defeat him.

Hundreds of thousands of Messians, even hundreds of thousands of pigs, surrounded by thousands of Vikings, consume them to death.

Moreover, in the past two years, the kings have built rapid strike units and skillfully transported various fortifications.

When the Vikings couldn't grab something, their morale suffered.

Now the initiative is back in the hands of the crusaders.

Cornwall, Wales, or a turn north to surround Ragnar and achieve British unification are all feasible means.

On the tower, Oran stayed for a long time, until the bell rang, and the king's monks and magistrates stood on the high place, reciting the book of laws.

"Haven't you been compiling your code all the time?" Oran asked.

"It will take a long time, Your Excellency."

"Do you know the preface to the preface to Charlemagne's Code?"

The Titan pondered, "Charlemagne, the Providence of God, the Roman Emperor, the ruler, the protector of the empire and Christendom, the maker and promulgator of the Code, for the sake of justice......"

"Very well, remember that at the beginning of this book, add a preface to His Majesty Oran, and put it before God."
