On January 5, 1066, King Edward of Anglo-Saxon Wessex dynasty died suddenly.
His death was like a starting gun, which triggered a competition for the throne of England.
But Harold Gwenson ’s opponents are at a disadvantage, they are all on the other side of the sea, thousands of miles away.
Since ten years ago, in 1056, in addition to the absence of the name of King, Harold, who was sealed in Wessex, has been in charge of all parties, but although he sits on the ground, But he still has a problem-Harold still faces a big obstacle on the road to the throne. Although he is the most powerful man in England at present, although he is the elder brother of Edward, the former king, he has no direct relationship with the royal family. Blood relationship.
Edward has left a blood relative. Prince Edgar, who is only 14 years old, is Edward's nephew.
And Harold is also blessed by the time-at least at this time he is also blessed by the time.
Several nobles in England have gathered in London since Christmas last year. Edward, who is seriously ill, must choose the next king without a clear heir. Among the members of the noble council is a brother of Harold Goss Gwenson-Earl of East Anglia.
With the help of his younger brother, they successfully persuaded the parliament to accept that England now needs a man who is good at rule and real power, and as Edward ’s brave minister, Harold has the ambition to fight well and act as a powerful The actual controller of his father, Earl Godwin, his father, successfully established a great dynasty, and accumulated a lot of territory and power for his four sons. Harold ’s other two brothers Kent and the North In Northumbria, there is a large area of Tosti, plus Goss, a member of the noble council, and the four brothers divided up large areas of land throughout England and Scotland, and helped the family maintain power. It is even believed that the Earl of Godwin personally created the Edwardian management system-although they recently lost that northern brother, Harold Gwenson has become the best candidate for the new king.
Harold himself is indeed a mature politician. He knows he must take the initiative to promote the noble meeting to support him to the throne, so a few minutes after Edward ’s crash, Harold played the trump card-he declared Edward to the noble council He told him face-to-face in the period of his survivor that he wanted to succeed to the throne, and the other people present at that time did not reject his claim. Even the noble council itself was pleased that they needed a strong king, not to mention this strong and brave The powerful king now gave them a perfect speech.
So, on January 6, 1066, the people of England just buried their old king Edward in the Westminster Cathedral, which he had built and had not yet completed. In the afternoon of the same day, Harlow De Gwenson was just a few steps away from the body of Edward who was just buried. Under the auspices of the bishop, his head was smeared with holy oil, crowned, and crowned the new king of England-originally according to religion Conventionally, the new king must be crowned only a few months after being elected.
It was n’t until many days later that the news of Edward ’s death and the rapid ascension of the British Count came to William ’s ear, who was training troops to strengthen his armaments in Rouen, the largest city in Normandy at that time, and the ruthless King of Norway, Hala It was only after more days later that he used fire to suppress the countrymen who rebelled against his rule. He was rushed by his men and told him that they learned the news from the traders who traveled to and from the North Sea.
The peacetime in England is running out. William is starting to organize his army to become an expeditionary army. At the same time, Haral is also dreaming of a great and immortal victory, but Harold is still facing a third enemy. A person closer to him-his brother Goss in the Gwenson family is the one who supports him the most, while the one in the north is not so loyal.
Tosi, Earl of Northumbria, was expelled from England by Harold six months before Harold became king. This Tosti was also the father-in-law and ally of William, Duke of Normandy, and Baldwin, Earl of Flanders. Brother-in-law of the world.
Tosti is a very charming person. He is more handsome and brave than Harold, and he loves to fight with soldiers on the front line when commanding, but apparently in governing the territory, he and his brothers It was so far away that Northumbria was messed up by him. He levied heavy taxes at will on his territory and suppressed other nobles. In fact, people knew everything. At least three Northumbrian nobles died because of his planning Under the assassination.
People were overwhelmed and started to go to the South. Harold had two options at that time. If he supported his younger brother, there would inevitably be a civil war, but if in England at that time, only one thing was learned in that century, it was During the Civil War, the Vikings will take advantage of it and conquer them all as they did before, so this is a dilemma. Harold made the right decision, sacrificed his younger brother, and avoided Uighur. Peking invasions-at least a few months avoided.
Only three weeks after becoming king in Harold, this Tosti joined the illegitimate duke William in Normandy to start his revenge plan, and now he hates his brother, he wants to retake the territory, he wants revenge.
On the Normandy beach, the brothers turned their backs and blamed the Xiao Wall.
"My elder brother, he is a lying dog!" Tosti, who was much taller than William, was now slightly behind the Duke of Normandy and said loudly behind him.
William, who walked slowly in front, didn't look back: "You came here thousands of miles, just to tell Lao Tzu these things I already knew?"
"He betrayed me and my family." Tosti didn't care about the vulgarity of William's speech, which was illiterate and actually illiterate. He answered in a quieter voice, noting that William stopped and looked back at him. , Tosti continued to persuade in a more sincere tone: "I came to clean him up."
"Why did I trust you?" William stared at the former Earl of Northumbria with his eyes. "You are connected to his blood."
"I can't change this fact, but I can help you, he stole my land, he also stole the crown of you." Tosti didn't avoid William's gaze, but looked at each other sincerely, "Join together , We can beat him. "
William continued to stare at him for a moment, then slightly nodded and turned, and continued to walk forward without speaking.
And the desire for revenge of the former Earl of Northumbria made him not stop at William. He also hoped to get the support of another big warlord. After ending his trip to Normandy, he sailed with Harold's anti-goat brother Tosti. Thousands of miles, head north to Norway, seeking the support of the ruthless man.
A few weeks later, the Norwegian Highland Lord ’s long house.
"Oh, what do the black sheep come to Norway to find me?" Haral, who was sitting behind the long table of the lords, looked at Tosti Gwensen, who was standing in front of him. Wrestling, but what other use do you have for me? "
In order to avenge, Tosti took a corner of his mouth and endured these rudeness that he regarded as a barbarian: "Most English nobles hate my brother, they will support me, as long as you support me, they will also support you , They will support Ru. "
"Do I look like a idiot?" The Viking King leaned back and asked the former nobleman who was an Anglo-Saxon.
"You are an unprecedented warrior in Scandinavia. England is a handy thing for you. Now you are attacking, and your name will survive."
"Inbattlestormweseekonlee, Withskulkingheadandbendingknee ... Iwilloutandcarvemynameinlegend (in the storm of war ~ www.novelhall.com ~ I will never bow down and bend my knees ... I will make my name a legend.)" Da, also known as Harald III, King of Norway, reached out to Tosti Gwensen, former Earl of Northumbria.
The two reached a consensus, and later formed an invading force to prepare for an attack from the north to Harold's England in the late summer. At the same time, a thousand miles southwest, William himself was already ready.
William, who had just finished praying with Matilda, who was a distant cousin and wife, said in a soft and completely different tender tone: "When the summer comes, you will be ready."
"If this is the will of God, then his will will come true." The godly Matilda looked at her husband with some admiration. She was completely confident that William would be favored by the Lord to win the war.
In the London palace, Harold knew nothing about the enemies in the two different directions.
In the royal hall, Harold's closest brother Gosgwinsen, Earl of East Anglia, walked beside his brother: "Half of happiness comes from patience, King Edward often said this."
"The most famous quote." Harold, the new king of England, walked to his throne and sat down, adding to the standing younger brother Goss, "The other half is a sharp sword."
Obviously, in this mind, Harold, who thought he was the king and was different from the previous count, because he was connected with the Lord because of the monarchy, still knew all the laws of power politics. He knew that someone would want to crown him Take it away with his head.
