king of ros

Chapter 240
After realizing the identities of these people, Rostislav also understood how he was familiar with the clothing styles of those behind Edward.

Those few people were obviously from the Anglo-Saxon country, and the descendants of this group of people had great influence in the later generations of Britain.

As a history buff, Rostislav in his previous life had more or less exposure to this aspect, and he had also watched many ancient English movies and TV series, so he would naturally feel familiar.

Because no matter how magically invented movies and TV shows are, the style is still more or less the same after all, and this cannot be changed.

And just as Rostislav sighed inwardly, one of the Anglo-Saxons behind Edward suddenly rode out.

This person is tall, with extraordinary power between his brows, he is not a simple person at first glance, his arms are thick and powerful, he can be seen as a soldier in battle.

And after he opened his mouth to sign up, Rostislav was even more surprised. This time, he was really surprised, completely surprised.

"May God bless you, Lord Rostislav, I am Harold Godwin, and I am here to bring Lord Edward back to England."

"Uh...I really didn't expect to see you here, Lord Harold."

This really surprised Rostislav, who really didn't expect that he would meet one of the protagonists of this far-reaching historical event of the Norman Conquest, the future King of England, Harold Godwin.

"Oh, I didn't expect Rostislav to know me."

Harold frowned, and was also very surprised by Rostislav's reaction. He thought that the noble in the east didn't know him, and at most he was a distant noble.

But from the tone of his voice, Rostislav not only knew who he was, but also his identity.

"His Majesty Harald told me, Lord Harold, after all, you are a great nobleman in England."

Of course Rostislav can't say that he knows your identity from posterity and that you were shot in the eye at the Battle of Hastings.

We can only push the matter to Harald. The Norwegian king's enthusiasm for North Sea affairs is well known. After all, he can't go to Harald for confirmation.

Hearing the answer from the Prince of Moscow, Harald no longer had any doubts. He still knew Harald's reputation. He, the great minister who controlled almost three-quarters of England, must be the king's key observation object.

"Then, Lord Harold, can you tell me about the current state of England? And why are you so eager to call Edward back home? Even nobles of your level are dispatched in person. I don't mean anything else by asking these questions. Edward is My good friend, I must find out."

Next, Rostislav also inquired about the situation in England. Although he said that the distance was too far for him to interfere in the affairs there, it was still no problem to inquire.

And Harold sighed, embarrassed to think about those things.

But that's not a secret at all, rather than hiding it, it's better to tell it yourself, lest the person in front of you believe those embarrassing rumors.

"The situation in England is still very stable, and the whole country is developing steadily. And why we are so eager to ask Lord Edward to return to the country, it is because His Majesty the Confessor Edward wants to hand over the throne to William, the illegitimate son of Normandy. This is not something we can do. Accepted, so we proposed to let Lord Edward who is far away in Hungary inherit the throne, so we came to find Lord Edward to return to China to succeed him."

Harold said these words in his mouth, but he was lamenting in his heart. Although he said that he had found the heir in line of the Wessex family, maybe there was something wrong with that king.

He really can do anything to disgust them Godwin family.

The grievances between the Godwin family and Edward the Confessor have lasted for two generations. At first, the old Godwin supported the king and married his daughter to him. The relationship between the two parties was very close at first, but then It will change when it comes down, and this does not affect the hostility between the two.

With the development of time, they kept dirtying each other, and even turned their swords against each other. The Godwin family was once forced into exile, and all their territories would be deprived.

In Harold's generation, although he seized the family territory, and the family's power was further strengthened, but this strength has a shadow, that is, the king's disgust.

That disgust was so strong that even the Godwin family could not help but feel terrified.

After all, even in the most desperate times, the king used war and authority to force their Godwin family to give up their land, and the family members were forced to go into exile.

Because of this, Harold is determined not to oppose His Majesty the King, and to serve the royal power as much as possible, and to serve His Majesty the King.

But even though Harold lowered his profile in front of the king and served the royal power, his Majesty's dissatisfaction and disgust towards their family was still extremely strong.

Generally speaking, when the nobles express their willingness to obey the kingship, the king should ease it no matter what, but King Edward is full of hatred for their family.

Old Godwin's deeds had brought the King's dislike of his family to a peak that was indelible.

The king did a lot of things to disgust the Godwin family, for example, handing over the throne of England to the illegitimate son on the other side was his latest disgusting trick.

Edward the Confessor stayed in Normandy for a long time when he was young, and was entertained and valued by the Duke of Normandy. Therefore, he himself also brought a strong Norman style. The cathedral he built was actually Norman style.

He knew that the Anglo-Saxon nobles headed by Godwin would never tolerate the greedy Normans taking over England, so he did this, voluntarily handing over the throne to the Normans, just to disgust their Godwin family and shake them leadership position.

In order to deal with the king's move, Harold also tried his best, but in the end he could only find Edward, the heir of Wessex who was far overseas.

As for the possibility of the king himself having a queen, many people have rumored that he has kept his virginity and has never touched his wife. The queen prays every day but is still a virgin after all.

It can be said that finding Edward is related to Harold's power position. If William is allowed to sit on the throne of England, with his strength, the good times of the Godwin family will come to an end.

In fact, Harold and the others went to Hungary to look for Edward several years ago, but it was a pity that Edward was happy to pioneer in Ross at that time, and they naturally couldn't find anyone.

The schedule to go to Ross was not allowed, and they were completely unfamiliar with that land, so they could only leave Hungary with regret that time.

But this time, after they heard about Edward's activities in Hungary, they immediately went to Hungary to invite Edward back to the country again, and their request was successful, after all, that was the throne.

After listening to Harold's narration, Rostislav nodded again and again. These things are roughly the same as the history he knows.

However, Rostislav was caught in a dilemma. He supported Edward's return to the country, and there was no harm in having one more king friend.

It's just that the Norman Conquest involved too many aspects. In the future, it can be said that the entire North Sea will participate in it, and there are too many variables.

And thinking of the historical ending of the Norman Conquest, Rostislav was really worried about Edward, his in-law. The illegitimate son of Normandy was not an easy opponent to deal with.

What's more, there is another person who will participate in this battle for the throne of England in the future, and Rostislav has a headache thinking of this person, that is King Harald of Norway, and he will lose his life because of this in history.

Rostislav had a strong affection for Harald, and he still remembered the king's kindness and help. Rostislav really didn't want Harald to go to his historical fate.

But in the end, it was man-made, and Rostislav was still too powerless to deal with things in the distance, as if he wanted to intervene but was completely unable to do so, so he could only choose to let go.

At last the Prince of Moscow called Edward back, and assured him that this was the only thing he could do.

"Lord Edward, I hope you can successfully inherit the King of England, but no matter what, please remember that Rose always welcomes you."
