Call me William, King of England!
According to Harold's wishes, God had indeed exercised his judgement and, today, I am being crowned King of England in Westminster Abbey. However, the true conquest of England begins here and now and will only come to an end in 1070. I will, once more, have to face a tricky situation. My status as King of England cannot be contested, however it is far from pleasing Philip I, King of France. Both he and the Capetians believe that a simple vassal from Norman territory cannot be endowed with such power and they are already looking to wrangle with me. But it matters little… I have already had brushes with other, far more challenging enemies.
