Okay, but what this doesn’t tell you is that after William died, he fucking exploded at his own funeral. They left him out for state viewing and it was hot, and then they jammed the bloated, rotting corpse into the coffin he had made when he was a younger, more svelte Bâtarde.
The passage describing it says something along the lines that everyone who could fled the funeral and all the incense available could not cover the stench.
one of my favourite bits of medieval history ever sorry if this ruins your fancast after D-Day England erected the most passive-aggressive war memorial EVER in William's home city Caen The People Who William Conquered Have Returned To Liberate His Homeland like guys it's been A THOUSAND YEARS let it go already
