Victory of Hastings~
Kingdom ofÆngland
King Harold II "The Defender" Godwinson (1022-1076)
- After his victory at Hastings, Harold took pity on his old friend, and forced him to renounce his claims for all eternity on England, and to return to France. After which Duke William did, turning back to Normandy. the two never spoke again. After his return to England he learned that Edgar Ætheling had been crowned King of England after a false letter had been delivered to the Witenagemot of his passing. With the Witenagemot refusing to rescind the passing of the title to Edgar, and Edgar himself attempting to kill Harold, King Harold II disbanded the Witenagemot, and declared that the title of King of the English shall pass to the first born son. He died in the year 1076, by a bear that killed both he and his son Godwin.
King Edmund III "The Golden" Haroldson (1053-1123)
- After the death of Harold and Godwin, many believed Edmund to be an unsteady and ruler. This, as it would turn would be rather false. After the Cornwall Rebellion, and the Massacre at Cornwall, few would doubt his rule, but afterwards he would conqueror the entire Island. This would, as it turns out, not be the only thing that he would excel in. Edmund was a master of coin, able to grow a massive merchant fleet. He would turn the Kingdom ofÆngland into one of the most powerful kingdoms of Europe. He would die of cancer in 1123.
King Dillan I "The Lawgiver" Edmundson (1098 -1191)
-Known for the implementation of the Reguis Verbum, he is known for completely restructuring England, dragging the Kingdom out of the Feudal ages, living insanely long, and having far too many children.
Norman Kingdom of France
William I "The Bastard" Normandie (1028-1089)
- After his humiliating defeat at Hastings, William would return to France a mockery. This would not stand as after the king, Philippe I would attempt to sieze the Ducky of Normandy in 1071. He would kill Philippe in the Battle of Évreux, and later storm Paris, claiming the mantle of King of France. This was disputed by the Dukes of Aquitaine and Toulouse, but after many bribes from Philippe's former treasury, they relented. In 1075 he would conqueror Brittany. He would commit suicide in 1089 after guilt from the passing of his wife and his son Richard, passing the title of King of France to William II The Red in a suicide note.
William II "The Red" Normandie (1056- 1109)
-After Williams death in 1089, William the Seconds rule would be rather blank. No wars would spring up other than a mild war over the county of Bar, that would last two months, but what did happen would be known as the Embarrassment at Rouen where he was caught with a male lover. He would die in a horsing accident.
Henri II of France ( 1068- 1145)
Henrys reign was called average, yet boring...
