Prince William's ancestors are not French, but Normans, and Normans means northerners, which means Vikings from Scandinavia. In later generations, they had a name that is Northern Europe. people.
Before converting to Christianity, the kings of the Norse people were regarded as descendants of Odin (the god Woden) and their sons. Therefore, the status of the king was above the secular world and above any church leaders.
Therefore, the first Norman Duke led the Normans to convert to Christianity but still maintained the past traditions. The king was the supreme leader of the seven dioceses of Normandy and had the power to appoint the leaders of the Normandy churches and monasteries. He did not need to accept any clergy for office. The church also owed collective allegiance to the duke rather than the distant pope.
Therefore, William's family not only served as political leaders and dukes, but most of the heads of the Normandy church were members of the ducal family.
Even though the Pope in the Vatican has repeatedly declared clergy celibacy, the bishops of the Normandy Diocese still refuse to go to the Vatican for meetings.
In Normandy, priests could get married and form their own families, and appointments came from the duke. For the benefit of their own family, priests were naturally more controlled by the duke than the pope.
When Uncle Robert has a child of his own, that child's inheritance rights will be second only to William's. This is completely reasonable and legal. When a nine-year-old child dies unexpectedly, then Uncle Robert's son can logically inherit the position of Duke.
"Leave here now, please start your journey. The only one who can protect you now is your cousin Edward. He is now the King of England. Even if Bishop Robert completely usurps the throne, only your cousin can protect you. In the past Your father once protected him, and now that you go to England, you will be treated well by him, and you may even become his trusted minister."
"Dr. Andersen, what do you mean by these words? Aren't you going to England with me?"
William was a little at a loss at this time. He lost his mother when he was very young, and lost his father two years ago. Now he is only a nine-year-old child. In such a dangerous moment, he is particularly dependent on adults. , relying on his teacher Dr. Andersen.
"You have to go alone, otherwise you won't be able to leave. I have to disguise myself as you to attract soldiers. Don't underestimate me, I am a magician. Did you see the gold coin in the bag? Listen to me, kid, that is a lucky gold coin that can allow you to enter the world of elves. As long as you hide in the forest, you will be protected. I wish you good luck."
Andersen handed the bundle to William, then lit a candle, snapped his fingers, and with a burst of magic, a child who looked similar to William appeared on the opposite side, as if William was looking in the mirror.
"Can I still see you?"
William finally realized something at this time. His eyes were filled with unstoppable tears and he covered his mouth. Even he understood what it meant when Dr. Andersen used magic to transform into him.
"If fate has its way, we will definitely meet again in the future." Dr. Andersen smiled.
"Let's go, prince, promise me that you will become an excellent and outstanding person in the future, live with integrity, live bravely, and live kindly. If fate arranges for you to become a king, then you must become a wise man. The king."
Dr. Andersen looked at the burning candle on the table, walked over, took off the lampshade and pushed the candle down. The flame burned on the tablecloth on the table. He took off another candle and lit it on the curtains. After a while, the prince's room was on fire. There was a flame.
"Run away, why are you still standing here?" Dr. Andersen scolded.
"Okay, doctor, I will never forget what you said. I will become a true hero and a good king."
Prince William took a deep breath and agreed to Teacher Andersen's request. Suddenly the bells rang in the castle, and a large number of soldiers began to gather towards the prince's castle.
"To protect the prince, be sure to kill anyone who comes in and out of the palace at will. They may murder the prince."
William is embarrassed
He ran out of the castle where he lived, and saw a large number of soldiers rushing into the palace. Among them, a group of soldiers wearing white armor were particularly eye-catching.
He instantly realized that his uncle had already made a decision in his heart during the time when the child was born. If the child his wife gave birth to was a daughter, then he would be able to survive and nothing would happen.
In France, according to Viking tradition, women cannot inherit the throne or the title. Uncle Robert will take action resolutely only if he has definitely given birth to a son.
In this era, the mortality rate of children is very high. If a nine-year-old child has an accident, even outsiders can't say anything. As long as there is no conclusive evidence, the king and the church can only acquiesce.
It was not the troops from the castle who entered the palace, but the troops from the Palatinate Counts of the Holy Roman Empire.
I heard that the earl had passed away, and the person in charge now was his second wife, the most beautiful queen in the world. She was called the Snow Queen because her skin was as white as snow.
Bad guys and bad guys have joined forces.
William ran, running towards the front all night long. The soldiers' pursuit made him afraid to reveal his target in the direction. He ran towards the south, and he wanted to hide in the forest.
Run like crazy, run like crazy.
The world is so vast, and he who is confined to a corner of the castle is like a frog in a well. He wipes away his tears and tells himself from the bottom of his heart that in order to overcome his cowardice, he must be brave enough to bear the burden. Andersen's hope is to become an upright, brave and kind person, a hero and a good king.
very tired.
Prince William ran day and night, even if he wanted to take a good rest, but behind him were soldiers chasing after him. They had horses, but he only had two legs. He could only run to the mountains or deep forests. There is a way to survive.
When you are hungry, you eat some hard bread. When you are thirsty, you drink some water from the kettle. When you are sure that there is no danger, you climb up a tree to rest.
Crossing a large wilderness of grassland, and then into the mountains, although the road was very rugged, he still did not dare to stop. He knew that such a road would be difficult for him to walk, but he also understood that the rugged road would be equally difficult for the pursuers behind him. Ability to limit their movements.
The lucky gold coin glowed hot in his hand. Prince William didn't know how long he had been running. He climbed mountains and waded in rivers to escape the pursuit of soldiers. Every time, he saved the day with the help of the lucky gold coin.
So cold, so hungry, so thirsty.
William didn't know how long he had been walking, maybe three days, maybe ten days, or even half a month. At this time, he could not help but feel sleepy. He saw an apple forest in the distance, and there was a smile on his face. A touch of joy.
The spring water was gurgling. William took the cake that was as hard as a stone and swallowed several mouthfuls. He lay on the ground and drank the water in big gulps.
Strangely, the water was so sweet, and there was a strong fragrance that could not be dispersed. William drank the water and suddenly remembered that in his memory, his mother seemed to have such a fragrance, which was exuded all over his body. It smells like flowers, and there are ladies applying similar scent to the powder at palace banquets.
This is the smell of women.
William braced himself and looked forward, and suddenly heard a shrill female voice, a frightened cry, facing a place of holy light ahead.
This, this, this, this is the fairy who seems to be taking a bath, I am drinking...
