Harold Hardrada timeline

[kasumigenx]

On 1068, Clemencia of Aquitania and her new husband, Felip I of Francia would talk about Francia and the defeat of Guilhem lo Bastard, apparently, Guilhem is just known as the Bastard due to his failure in claiming England against both Harald Hardrada and Harold Godwinson.

The two would talk about the relations of França with England under Harald Hardrada and have heard that Maria Haraldsdatter is married to Robert Curthose the son of Guilhem lo Bastard, Margaret of Wessex is married off to Magnus the son of Harold Hardrada and Edgar of Wessex is forced to a monastery.

Clemencia and Felip I would have two surviving children, namely Louis(1081) and Anna of France(1072).

Clemencia would have the Dowry of the County of Poitou but they would end up with all of the Duchy after the sonless death of Guilhem VII.

The historians would later talk about the fight between Clemencia and the Daughters of Guilhem VII in 1086 due to the lack of son of Guilhem VII of Aquitania which would cause Aquitania to pass and her son Louis VI(1081), the Duchy of Aquitaine is now subsumed to the royal domain and Gascony under the Armanhacs, and as Guilhem VII’s children have no issue there would be no issue in the succession of Aquitania which is united to the Royal domain.

The former Duchy of Aquitaine would be integrated to the Kingdom of France and the Counts of Auvergne, Lusignan, Thouars, La-Marche, Viscounts of Limoges would be direct vassals of France and the Duchy of Gascony would be a separate vassal with the territories of Bordelais and the Counties of Saintonge and Poitou now in the Royal domain.

On 1066, Romanos Diogenes would win against the Turks in the battle of Manzikert but the win was not that decisive and a narrow victory and the Doukas family and the other Greek nobility would not be happy and another that would now have issues will be the Doukas family and the Normans and Sicily who would be his issue, since the Normans are now in a crisis in Northern France, Romanos Diogenes would try to entice the Lombards and Greek Nobility in Southern Italy to switch to his own side and expel the Normans in Italy.
He said that he would wait for the right time to strike against them.
On 1070, Emma, the sister of Felip I of Francia would marry Constantine Diogenes, the marriage between Constantine and Emma would strengthen the Byzantine condition in Sicily as the French King would abandon the Normans.
