What kind of disaster was it? It turned out that the three sons of Louis were fighting a very bloody war because of the struggle for the throne. However, their father Louis suppressed it once before and told the three of them not to fight against each other.

If we continue to cause trouble, it will waste people and money. Therefore, the final result of the discussion between Louis' three sons is that no one wants to let anyone else, and they just want to deal with the throne in the most fair way. The final solution is: Louis' three sons concluded an agreement

The peace treaty divided the Holy Roman Empire into three parts.

In fact, this is the last afterglow of the Roman Empire, and it has burned out! The journey from the city of Rome to the Roman Empire and then to the Holy Roman Empire ends here.

Many years later, the Roman Empire was divided into three parts, and gradually formed three main countries during the war, with different languages ​​and cultural systems, mainly Germany, France, and Italy.

, culture and even management and even humanities have made a very big difference. But this is all later, so we will not talk about it now. We have to analyze these things based on the passage of historical time. At present, we all only need to understand,

The Holy Roman Empire has come to an end!

Now let's look at other empires. After all, there is not only the Holy Roman Empire, but also a relatively powerful empire. This empire is Britain. In fact, Britain has become a Viking country since 789 AD.

The British people were suffering so much that they were the target of people's crazy plundering. Continuing to fight against the Vikings would make the civilians in the UK even more miserable, even more hungry, and even less clothed. But why don't we fight? Then...

He would be treated completely like a slave by the Vikings. No matter what he did, it was wrong, and it seemed like he would not survive.

At this point, civilians throughout the UK are living in a state of despair every day, because they don’t know when the Vikings will come to plunder again, or when they will come to plunder their women in large quantities. This is really

It's really terrible. It's not difficult to see from here that in fact, with the implementation of great unification, a huge empire can seem to eliminate these problems, because it has enough strength to deter other ambitious small countries, and in this way can protect more

More people can live a relatively stable life. Of course, the prerequisite for this stable life must be based on unity. The other is that it must be based on a very strict legal system, so that the nobles and the rich treat civilians as human beings.

Therefore, if we want to implement true equality and unity, we humans still have to do a lot more, and this road will also be accompanied by absolute bloody violence. After all, no one is willing to give up their extravagant and extravagant ways.

Life, of course, everyone is longing for this kind of life.

Therefore, it was not until 1013 that King Sven of Denmark invaded Britain and killed countless local soldiers and civilians in a very bloody way. Then he captured the entire London and established the British Empire.

The Nordic Empire including Denmark and Norway.

However, because the Danish Empire had the same cultural system as the Roman Empire, the high-level officials also began to live in decadent habits after getting a relatively stable life. At this point, the civilians of the Danish Empire began to suffer miserably, and even more people

It has also indirectly become a talking tool, almost exactly the same as the slaves of the Roman Empire, so civil uprisings are also constant. This revolves around the corruption at the top, even the nobles oppressing the common people, and the rich robbing the common people in disguise.

These many factors, etc., eventually led to the decline of the Danish Empire.

After the decline of the Danish Empire, the British prince Edward, who had been in exile in Normandy for a long time and was unable to return to his country, was welcomed back to England and took the throne. However, Edward had sworn to remain a virgin forever, so he had no son.

When his cousin William, Duke of Normandy, visited England, Edward secretly promised William the right to inherit the throne. However, when Edward was dying, Harold inherited the throne. When William, Duke of Normandy, heard about this, he was very angry.

Unwilling to do so, he decided to use force to regain the right to inherit the British throne.

In the name of crusading against the treacherous usurper, William lobbied in various European countries and won the support of the Pope, the Holy Roman Emperor, and even the King of Denmark. The Pope even gave William a sacred flag.

With these conditions and resources, William quickly organized a team of about 6,000 people, including more than 2,000 cavalry, more than 3,000 infantry, and 450 warships. The entire force was assembled in

At Saint-Valery at the mouth of the Somme, just wait for the wind to turn south before setting off.

But why were so many troops gathered at once? There are many reasons here, mainly greed. Because during this period, there were constant wars between the empires, and wars were going on everywhere. Civilians

They all look like they have nothing to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies. But now as a soldier, not only do they have something to eat, but they can also wear army clothes. Even after going to war, they can indirectly carry out burning, killing and looting in the name of justice.

Why not do this? Another thing is that there are more devout believers. They think William is correct and reasonable. There must be truth in the world. The truth does not tolerate anyone's offense, so these people think this

This kind of war is fought for the truth! Of course, there are other people who are purely for promotion and wealth. As long as William can become the king of England, can he still lose his benefits?

So on September 27, 1066, William ordered to cross the English Channel and then advance towards England. At this time, King Harold of England was celebrating his victory in York. What was going on? It turned out that

, when William was actively preparing to attack England, King Harald of Norway and Tostig joined forces and invaded York in northern England. It was robbery! Tostig wanted to ask Harold for the inheritance of the British throne.

, but Harald wanted to take advantage of the situation. So they burned, killed, and looted all the way, and then moved towards York. After Harold heard the news that the Haralds had invaded and burned, killed, and looted, he immediately led his troops to assist.

After a very cruel and bloody battle, all the enemy troops were completely wiped out. There were corpses everywhere on the battlefield. Harald and Tostig were also killed on the spot! So at this time, Harrow

Germany is celebrating victory.

On September 28th, William led his army to successfully cross the Channel, landed at Pevensey, established a temporary camp at Hastings, and began to loot the surrounding areas for supplies.

.

What is going on? In fact, this is not difficult to understand. We have analyzed it before. William's army is actually relatively complicated. They are many different people gathered together. Now William has military expenditures in his hands.

It was already insufficient, and there were only a few things to eat and necessary resources, so they looted all around. This was to snatch resources and food. This approach was also in line with the standards of military marches in this era, because there was no

To provide back-up supplies, it is necessary to rob food and resources from all civilian homes along the way. In the process of robbery, the soldiers are not just robbing, but also killing people! That is, killing civilians and even destroying the women in civilian homes.

Or a girl or something, or even say something that subverts our modern human thinking. These soldiers will also abuse their wives or daughters in front of their husbands. Anyway, this kind of thing has always been like this in the process of war.

So this extremely cruel thing happened. After Harold heard about it, he immediately returned to London on October 1st and immediately launched a plan to attack William. But the attack requires planning and a large number of troops.

This also means that it takes a long time to prepare, so during the time that Harold was preparing, William's army caused the local civilians to suffer, a large-scale burning, killing and looting team of more than 6,000 people.

What kind of robbery efficiency? What kind of killing efficiency? So we can all imagine that in short, too many local civilians were killed, too many women were ruined, and more food and other items

It was completely looted. But if you look at it from my point of view, since these people are dead, what else do you need the food for, right?

This act of burning, killing and looting by William's army lasted for more than a month in total. From the perspective of today's people, how could this be a battle to determine the throne? This was clearly carried out in the name of the Pope's sacred flag.

Burning, killing and looting?

It was not until the night of November 13th that after more than a month of preparations and leading more than 6,000 soldiers from all over the UK, King Harold of England arrived at Bart's Gate and occupied the

A high ground near here. This is preparation for war! And William's army, which has been burning, killing and looting for more than a month, is also moving in this direction, so it didn't take long until the 14th.

The battle begins now.

Harold commanded from the top of the hill, with his own soldiers on both sides. The two wings of the ridge were mainly composed of militiamen. In order to prevent the cavalry from attacking, Harold formed a group of soldiers called defense.

The walls of the shield. There were steep depressions on both sides to prevent the enemy from attacking in a roundabout way, so Harold's army could maintain their formation very effectively.

William arranged his troops into three parts on the left, right and center, each part had three echelons. In the front was a group of crossbowmen, in the middle were heavily equipped infantry, and in the back were cavalry. In the front of the team, there were
Chapter completed!
