William, the duke of Normandy: 1048 to 1060

You have defeated all your enemies for the moment. King Henry is cowed: count Geoffrey cannot get the king to continue the campaign, and alone, Anjou is no great threat to Normandy.

Norman knights on guard duty

A brief period of time passes, in which you consolidate your position at home. You can now turn your attention abroad. What would you like to do next?
Invade Ponthieu: the new count, Guy, lies in your dungeon, captured at Mortemer.
Support young Herbert of Maine: he is the legal count, but Geoffrey of Anjou has been making moves on his county.
Invade the Īle de France: king Henry deserves it, for breaking the feudal bond between you by attacking Normandy.
Invade Anjou: This may be the best way to eliminate the threat to Maine, thereby aiding young count Herbert as well.
