Towards the year 1036 the Duchy of Normandy had become a very important and influent country in Europe. But they were passing through a deep crisis. Why? The reason was simple: a child had the crown over his head! He was too young to exert the power by himself, and furthermore, he was a bastard. A child duke, or a bastard duke... both were hard to digest for many people. Then, a bunch of nobles believed to see the opportunity to get to the throne. So Normandy, the land ruled by Rollo and his descendants for more than a century, ended up inmersed into chaos and anarchy.
