Nearly a thousand warships set out from Normandy and crossed the English Channel, aiming for the land of England. The 12,000 troops sailing on the sea and the livestock and food on board made all the warships inevitably crowded and noisy. Duke William came from Wake up in such an environment.
The pungent smell made him frown, and a blurry shadow kept shaking around him. This voyage was to conquer England, not for outing enjoyment, so William could only endure the harsh conditions of the ship. environment.
Noisy shouts kept coming and going in the dull cabin. Duke William got up from his bed and coughed lightly. Hearing the shouts outside still coming and going, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. He said loudly, "Quiet, all of you, please calm down. .”
With a "bang", Duke William walked out of the cabin and threw away the clay pot in his room. The sound of the clay pot falling to the ground soon alerted all the noisy people, and the entire ship suddenly became quiet.
"Your Highness the Duke." The sailors and soldiers on the ship bowed to Duke William. At this time, his fleet was in complete chaos.
"What's going on, Knight Gawain, why are the soldiers on my ship so noisy."
"Your Highness, as you can see, there are meteors in the sky, and the soldiers are spreading rumors that this is an ominous sign of the conquest of Britain."
A middle-aged knight came to Duke William and told what happened before. A meteor suddenly fell. For the Norman soldiers who were about to enter a foreign country and enter the conquest, this was a legendary ominous sign. Omen is a warning from the great god Odin.
The Normans were actually Vikings. During the long period of Roman Empire rule, their prestige and influence spread throughout all the territories within the empire, from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the east to the west, even reaching the Odonni Wall in England in the north and the Nile River in Egypt in the south. Upstream is an out-and-out super empire.
However, even though the Roman Empire ruled such a vast territory, its influence still did not spread to Scandinavia. Even England, which is far away from the European continent, believes in Christianity, but the Scandinavians still believe in Christianity. Their gods, the great god Odin, the thunder god Thor and the Valkyries of Valhalla.
In the late period of Charlemagne, the Scandinavians had already emerged as pirates, which caused a headache for Charlemagne in his later years. The Scandinavians, Nordics, Vikings, Danes, and Norwegians were all pirates. The name of these islands.
Believing in the great god Odin, they plundered everywhere and tied up the empire of Charlemagne. Italy, Germany, and France were all targets of Viking extortion. Even England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland were not spared. The Vikings were rampant in They can be found throughout Europe and even in the Byzantine Empire in the East.
The Normans were also a branch of the Vikings. Because they invaded Normandy and established their own country, the Principality of Normandy, they also used force to make the King of France and the Duke of Normandy recognize this feudal relationship. Therefore, the Vikings who invaded Normandy immediately Frenchization, the specific manifestation is that the Duke led the army to be baptized and converted to Christianity.
"Who is talking nonsense? This is clearly God declaring to us that our victory is inevitable. Look at the flags on our fleet."
Duke William took out his long sword and loudly rebuked the nonsense of his knight. At the same time, he pointed the sword at the flag fluttering in the wind on the ship. It was the flag symbolizing Michael, the flag of the Papal State representing the Pope, and the Holy Roman Empire. the Emperor's banner, but also William's own banner of the Duchy of Normandy.
"We are blessed by God, and the meteor falling to England does not mean that we will fail, but that the current false king Harold of England will fail. This is an ominous sign for them, but it is a big sign for us. A good omen."
Duke William said in front of his soldiers. For a moment, the soldiers who originally thought that the meteor streaked across was an ominous omen for the expedition to England. They suddenly felt that they had thought wrong. How could this be an ominous omen? It was simply a good omen.
Duke William's words are somewhat quibbling, but the Normans are just like their Viking relatives, who are full of martial virtues and full of muscles. Naturally, they are not good at intellectual problems, not to mention that no one will question that God does not stand here. aside.
If God was not on the side of the brave Normans, would he be on the side of the cowardly Anglo-Saxons?
Duke William breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. After stabilizing the morale of the army, he should consider the next thing.
Although the Normans disguised themselves as an extremely orthodox Frenchman, an extremely devout Christian, a close friend and vassal of the King of France, and deliberately drew a clear line with their former beliefs and barbarian origins, in fact There are many Normans who secretly believe in the great gods Odin and Thor, and want to enter Valhalla after death. Even if there are devout Christians, their way of understanding the Bible is different from ordinary Christians.
For example, the teachings of Jesus Christ are to let people know how to forgive. If someone slaps you on the left cheek, then you should not fight back. According to the teachings of Christ, you should give up your right cheek to him. The Normans, who are full of martial virtues, do not like it. With this kind of doctrine, when the Norman priests headed by Cardinal Robert taught the doctrine, they would connect it with the contents of the Old Testament in the Bible.
For example, blessed be the LORD, my rock, who teaches my hands for war and my fingers for war. And Jehovah was a warrior. Jehovah sent seraphs to kill the firstborn sons of all families in Egypt. Jehovah also destroyed the world with a great flood.
Oh my God, this level of ferocity is even more ferocious than the great gods Odin and Thor. It seems that God is more powerful than the gods in Norse mythology.
Therefore, all the Normans worshiped God Jehovah as the god of war. The Vikings who did business with the Normans even declared that they were "friends with God and enemies with the world."
"God of War, Jehovah, bless us with victory, attack!"
The soldiers below heard what Duke William said and spread it among themselves on different ships. They were in high spirits for a while, as if victory was just around the corner.
Duke William closed his eyes slightly. He understood that this was an obstruction from the Celtic gods or British saints, but he would not care about it. As a monarch, he has long been qualified to be immune to most gods and saints. influence.
"Your Highness, England is ahead, we are here." Knight Gawain suddenly looked at the land ahead, then walked over and said, cheers rang out one after another.
