My marriage with Matilda!
Matilda of Flanders and I are now married! Our union proved to be problematic, for Pope Leo IX was opposed to it due to our fifth degree of consanguinity. However, since our marriage was of vital importance for my dukedom, we finally took our vows. I hope that Matilda will be a loving wife and that she will offer me a fine lineage! I want at least 10 children! For the time being, my priority is to make amends with the Holy Father.
