Chapter 630: 3 kings (sincerely thank the silver leader for love)

In 1066, this year completely changed the history of Britain and ended the long-term terrorist invasion of the Vikings. The Anglo-Saxon world was completely overturned-this was the largest split in British history, The aliens thus truly ruled their land.

The events that occurred during this year have created a brand new Britain, whose language, laws and customs have continued to this day.

Some people say that monarchy is granted by God, but sometimes, military power appears in the right place at the right time.

On January 4, 1066, nearly a hundred years later, Edward III, who will be consecrated as the confessor by Alexander III, the highest priest of the Universal Church, is not the more immediate king of this era, but he is a very enthusiastic governor of state affairs. Since the Anglo-Saxon Wessex monarch who has won the hearts of the people, he has allocated all the surplus of the tax revenue from the treasury to the charity. He is very generous to the poor and foreigners and fully assists the church ’s Develop and build, and participate in the Mass on time every morning-the religious fanatic king ’s attitude towards witchcraft and those suspected of being wizards or witches.

But Edward ’s rule is coming to an end, no matter how good he does to the civilians, no more fire torture against the wizards, no matter how religious he is, this time Edward is just a 65 The old man, who has fallen into a semi-comatose state, is lying on the bed dying, surrounded by the local priest and his wife's brother Harold Gwenson-he has a close relationship with Edward and proved himself in the battle with Wales An excellent commander, Harold and the three brothers who occupy a large part of England are basically the "Vice" kings of the Wessex dynasty.

The extremely pious King Edward was loyal to his marriage all his life. He had no heirs, and the Wessex dynasty succeeded no one.

"You just have a little fever, God is with you-you have always been a good king, and under the watch of the Almighty Lord, you have defended the country, Amen." Harold Gwenson comforted his voice as gently as possible Looking at the brother-in-law, who was twenty years old and had almost all his teeth lost, he could only open his mouth and tremble to breathe, but he did n’t know if the other party could hear, “Ru created a kingdom of God here, a There is no longer a kingdom of evil wizards. I will help you take care of it. You are my king and your friend. All of this is thanks to you. England now has reliable people to take over. "

But to everyone's surprise, the old king and Allen's surviving manuscript in the era of King Edward, as described in the only manuscript of the world, suddenly regained consciousness when he fell silent and fell into a semi-coma for a long time. The people gathered around his bed described his previous dream.

"In the dream, two monks appeared in front of me, and the fat one was a wizard whom I had executed before! His treatment for acne was just to poke the farmer with a stick, and always It ’s a habit to transform rabbits from the Holy Communion Cup! But he has made a prediction to me now ... "Edward, who was very spiritual after the first sentence, took Harold Gwenson ’s hand, and his expression became full of face. Frightened, his breathing clearly began to be abnormal again, "Within one year and one day of my death ... Ho **** ... **** ... The Lord will hand over my country to ... **** ... the enemy's hands ... and the ensuing war catastrophe ... Ho **** ... The devil will sweep through my kingdom with fire and grin ... "(Author's Note: The prophecy is in addition to the seven **** words I used to count water words) All are the real content recorded in "King Edward", which just happens to be combined with the plot.)

At this time, two hundred miles south of London, a thirty-eight-year-old illegitimate duke was ruled by an iron fist-he was born and died of Robert I, the Duke of Normandy, and a maid from a cobbler's daughter. The only son under.

From the age of seven, William Duke of Normandy evaded and resisted assassinations and threats from relatives who believed he had more legitimate inheritance rights, and struggled toward the peak of power. He finally succeeded in succeeding the title.

Now, he is not satisfied with the title of Duke and wants to be a king of monarchy. He aims to become the next king of England.

When King Edward visited England fifteen years ago, he promised William to succeed his throne, although this Edward actually made the same promise to others for the stability of his own throne. Harold Gwenson, who was beside Edward, had also recognized William's succession to the English throne when he was trapped in the Principality of Normandy.

William is leading some elite knights with similar equipment for combat training-repeatedly practicing the charge against the dummy made of wooden sticks and burlap bags. The dummy's head is made of a cabbage, these The knights are trying to cut off more vegetable heads along the established route.

William the Duke of Normandy wore a blue cloak, hem to the knee, and the sleeves also extended to the wrist. It was a fully equipped knight that was much longer than most chain mails of this era. The back of his saddle was still smaller than the traditional one. The round shield can provide more effective protection.

"Take it seriously for Lao Tzu! Look at Lao Tzu's performance!" Watching one of his red-haired men miss a cabbage, this extraordinarily strong duke simply gave up command training and picked it up by himself. The spear launched a charge at the dummies, and after stabbing a few "heads" neatly, he pulled out the Norman sword tied around his waist, and cleaned it cleanly under a high-speed charge that was much faster than others. The head of the remaining dummy on the route was chopped up.

This made all the knights and those servants who constantly put new cabbage on the dummy head cheered.

"It's not difficult at all!" William took the horse rope to let the speed down, and then shouted at the red-haired knight who had just made a mistake. Until the other party finished training again, his expression eased slightly, " Do n’t catch Lao Tzu again for another time! Or you will go back to Lao Tzu and continue to be your court poet! ”

The Vikings and their descendants designated by the Normans to live in the Kingdom of West Franconia now believe in Christianity, learn French, and marry locals to have children.

They were the supporters of the large-scale heavy cavalry use in Europe in the early days. In most cases where the shield wall tactics from the Roman period were still used, the attack of the Norman knights was extremely terrible and tactically advanced. Status-This is due to a series of military technological innovations and improvements: the Norman saddle is made of wood, and the front axle is raised. Although it is not as comfortable as the previous leather, it makes the knight sit more stable; the saddle There are two wide girths, one bunch on the front chest of the mount, and one tied around the abdomen; two leather stirrups fall under the saddle, and the Norman cavalry first used stirrups in Europe. So that they can straighten their body immediately, clamp the spear with their arms and body, and use the speed and weight of the horse to impact the enemy. Although cavalry before that also used spears, most of them waved on their shoulders, and their strength was naturally different.

On the northeast side, about a thousand miles away, Scandinavia.

Virgin ’s long house of lords, born in 2015, a descendant of the blond king Harald, son of Sigul Sor, the chief of Eastern Norway, Harald III, the ruthless king of Norway, is sitting on a chair and watching his men Beating a civilian who could not pay taxes.

Although Harald Hadrad was in his fifties, he was tall and covered with golden hair, and he remained handsome and tall. When he was young, he went to many places. With his outstanding appearance, martial arts and commanding ability, he was chosen by the Grand Duke Yaroslav I of Vladimir Vladimirovic and married Elizabeth, daughter of the Grand Duke of Kiev.

The king who is using a Viking axe as a fan to fan himself now recalls his previous battle life. As long as he is willing to pay money, he can lead his men to fight for anyone, give him a place name, he will Lead the soldiers to fight over.

Poland? YEP!

Estonia? YEP!

Mediterranean pirates? YEP!

Holy place? YEP!

Sicily? YEP!

Bulgaria? YEP!

Even for a period of time, he served as the leader of the Varanji Guard, the royal guard of the Byzantine Empire.

As a result, he was entangled with money, and he eventually returned to Norway and became king. Although Harald was extremely greedy for power and wealth, there were some deeper things in the depths of his Viking soul He once tried to conquer Denmark but failed. He was like an old boxer. He used to be a strong and brave warrior, and that era has passed, and he knows it all.

In addition to treasures and chopping people, he likes to write poems on the battlefield in this way. He wants to make himself famous in the past, leaving his descendants with records of his victory and triumph, and like all great Vikings, Haral understands The most important thing a person can leave after his death is his reputation.

The previous King of Norway reached an agreement with the Viking King who occupied most of the land in England at that time, "When I die, the King of Norway can inherit my throne."

So even if he only heard the news of Edward ’s serious illness, he had given him the idea that it was time for the Vikings to conquer England and become king again-from the perspective of a Viking, their rule of England, It is the same as the Anglo-Saxon rule.

The Vikings should have invaded England, which is deeply rooted in their genes.

Haral, who has realized his own aging, is eager to conquer for the last time, to create an immortal Viking legend, a legend of eternal life.

The king's thoughts were quickly interrupted by the sound of the civilian who was kneeling and wailing ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ He was annoyed and raised his axe to stand up and walked to the poor who fell to the ground Guys, the surrounding men immediately fled and hid, so as not to be affected by the king's anger.

As Harald approached, the poor civilian did not dare to say anything about begging for mercy, "You really should know, I mean, how do you repay me? I ensure the safety of you and your parents, and But you do n’t take your responsibilities seriously, you have to pay on time, you ca n’t do anything like this ... "

With a muffled sound, the king directly flew him with the axe handle and fell to the ground, because the pain could not help but cry, and because of the fear of the poor insects who tried to suppress it, there was a constant noise and lying The ground blindly guarded his head with his hands, trying to avoid the next attack.

"It's not that I don't like your call to kill pigs, but this is enough." The Viking King put himself on the axe and looked down at the civilian with his head down, "Now, give me a crawl Go home and tell your neighborhood, what will happen if you do n’t pay taxes ... "

"Following ... Fate ... Master." The civilians who could not pay the tax were just struggling to get up like Meng Amnesty, and the leg was broken by the king who was still leaning on his axe.

"I told you to crawl home! Come and throw him out!" The king spit on the ground and greeted his men to throw the twitching civilian on the ground out of the long house. He did not return to his own. On the throne, he took a large glass of ale delivered by his maid-the king did not like to drink mead that other Viking nobles liked, thinking that it was a little girly.

Harald drank a glass of wine, immediately dropped the wooden cup on the ground, and then raised his head to meditate for a moment and continued to write poetry.

"Oak has been out of the acorns, but I have been destroyed but thirteen enemies ..."
