Who are our enemies and who are our friends.

There is no doubt that Duke William is my enemy, King Arthur and the Celtic gods headed by the goddess Eriu are my friends.

It's just that an enemy may not be an enemy, and a friend may not be a reliable friend.

William's current identity is the Earl of Avalon, and he is still nominally the destined king of Britain and Ireland. In fact, he is just an empty king, with no soldiers or food, his status is not recognized, and his authority will be challenged.

So where are your own advantages, where are your own disadvantages, where are the enemy's advantages, and where are the enemy's disadvantages.

1. Which side’s monarch is more popular among the people, our side or the enemy’s?

2. Which side’s generals are better?

3. Which party is more favorable to the right time and place?

4. Which side can strictly abide by military orders?

5. Which side’s army is stronger?

6. Which side’s soldiers are better trained?

7. Which side enforces the distinction between rewards and punishments more strictly?

By comparing the above seven points, William can draw a conclusion.

Do you really have no soldiers?

Not necessarily, there are many warriors participating in the tournament who are willing to fight for wealth with themselves, the Supreme King of Ireland who has been personally certified by the goddess.

The official certification of the goddess Eriu is undoubtedly destiny for the Irish Celtic pagans who do not believe in Christianity. It has great convincing power. The holy armor given by St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, can also make Ireland's Christians The disciples turned to themselves.

Don’t you have any money?

Not necessarily, under the banner of restoring the Celtic nation, I can naturally use the gold coins that Prince Salim once kept.

It seems that the market price of my stock is actually not too bad, mainly because of where it needs to be issued.

England is the core region of the entire Britain. As long as you rule England, you will have overwhelming advantages over Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.

Therefore, becoming the king of England can naturally rule the entire Britain and Ireland.

Today's England is an oversized powder keg, the place where four wars took place. If William holds King Arthur's holy sword and says that King Arthur has been passed down to me, let me be the king of the four countries of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. King Harold of England and the senior leaders of the Council of Wise Men would probably simply regard him as a "madman" and hack him to death.

How was the Anglo-Saxon dynasty established in Britain? It initially invaded Britain and drove the Celts out of England, all the way to the cold northern region (Scotland).

How was the Viking dynasty in England established? Of course, it was the Vikings who defeated the Anglo-Saxons before establishing the kingdom in England.

Therefore, when William said that he was the destined successor of King Arthur, there was no doubt that for the Anglo-Saxon dynasty, he was no different from the third prince of the Manchu and Zhu Dynasties, and was an out-and-out remnant of the previous dynasty.

The Celts have considerable strength throughout the British Empire. Obviously the Scots, Welsh, and Irish are all Celts, but the British Empire with England as its core will still be a minority in later generations. The British The representative ethnic group is the Anglo-Saxons.

Therefore, as long as the Celtic dynasty of King Arthur is revived, Celts will naturally defect to him, just like the former British king Edward the Confessor. He was obviously the monarch of the Anglo-Saxon dynasty, but due to the influence of his mother since childhood, he lived in Normandy, so the important people around him are all Normans.

European countries fight each other to the death, but for royal families who are married to each other, isn't this just a war between relatives?

"Leprechauns, take me to your treasure house. I want the gold coins in the treasure house to recruit warriors and use them to revive the great Kingdom of Erin."

William made a decision and looked at the short little leprechauns beside him who were wearing green hats and green clothes and said.

Britain is indeed a colony that has been ruled by the Roman Empire for four hundred years, and even the dwarves have such Roman characteristics.

England, you can go and have fun together by yourselves. I'd better crown the King of Ireland first.

London, England, Greenwich

[Excerpt from the "Report of the Inquiry of William the Conqueror" compiled by the Wise Council of Greenwich]

William the Conqueror, the current Duke of Normandy in France, was the son of Robert, the previous Duke of Normandy, and the wife of a blacksmith, and a peasant girl (one blank).

He succeeded the Duke when he was 7 years old. The power of the duchy was held by his uncle Robert, the Archbishop of Normandy. When he was 8 years old, his tutor was assassinated. After the age of 14, Bishop Robert and the powerful ministers of Normandy were exiled. At the age of 15, he was canonized as a knight by the King of France.

His experience is unknown, he is suspected to have traveled to the mainland under a pseudonym, and he is suspected to be a former warrior.

The members of the Council of Wise People were busy. The speaker of the meeting held a report about the Duke of Normandy in his hand, and he was quite thoughtful.

The witenagemot was an important institution of the central government in the Anglo-Saxon period. It evolved from the ancient Anglo-Saxon popular assembly. The popular assembly was originally composed of all free people. As the territory of the Anglo-Saxons continued to expand and the population continued to increase in the process of creating the country, it was no longer feasible to hold a popular assembly, so a small number of influential dignitaries formed a meeting of the wise to participate. important decisions.

The name of the meeting comes from the people attending the meeting, who are called "witans" (witans), so it is called the meeting of wise men.

The Council of Wise Men is both the central government and the British Parliament. Its members are either the king's cronies, hereditary nobles, or senior clergy.

Since the death of the previous king, Edward the Confessor, the Council of Wise Men immediately expelled the king's trusted ministers, all of whom were Normans.

The Anglo-Saxons regained control of the Council, and instead of following the line of succession, chose the leader of the Council, Harold, Earl of Wessex, to become king.

Therefore not only the Duke of Normandy in France was opposed, but even the King of Denmark was opposed.

At this time, although England had regained its independence, it was inextricably linked to the Danish Empire.

After Genghis Khan's death, his world empire was divided into four khanates and distributed to his descendants. After Charlemagne's death, his country was divided into three countries: Italy, Germany, and France, which were inherited by his three grandsons.

After the death of Canute the Great, his three sons were crowned King of England, King of Denmark, and King of Norway respectively.

Edward the Confessor therefore had no descendants, and the Danish king had by this time staked his claim to the English throne.

Where did the claim come from, of course it was typed.

Therefore, in order to compete for the throne, it was inevitable to compete with the King of Denmark, Duke William, and other nobles who were qualified to claim the throne of England.

"What a troubled time it has been!" the speaker couldn't help but sigh. Suddenly, seeing a member pass a piece of information, he said in horror, "What's wrong? Who wants to claim the throne of our king?"

"Speaker, it came from Princess Alice."

The councilor said cautiously, and the speaker took the document and looked at the content, and was stunned, "William the Beautiful, King Arthur's successor, Earl of Avalon, also proposed a claim to the throne of England, no, the entire Great Britain and Ireland. "

"Is it true?" Speaker Earl Hades asked.

"Yes, it's absolutely true!" the congressman nodded.
