William, the duke of Normandy: 1048 to 1060

Caen castle

You hold an impressive council outside of Caen, near the battlefield; and in your new-found prestige as a mighty victor, you act well the part of he who presides. Even churchmen acknowledge the wisdom of your demands: to whit: that all warfares in Normandy be subject to the will of its duke alone: that all castles already built without licence in the time of the anarchy, be pulled down or transfered to the duke's possession forthwith: that all subsequent castles are to be built by ducal licence alone. All of this to be submitted to the church's laws regarding "the truce of God", as outlined by the pope himself.

King Henry insists again, that you have exceeded your authority, and he demands that you come to Paris and answer to charges of disobedience.
Travel to Paris to answer the king's charges.
Ignore the king's demands, Excuse yourself, with claims of being delayed by ducal business; caused by the long turmoils, which require your continued attention.
