William the Conqueror: 1061 to 1066

We thought you had learned your lesson by now. The SWORD is not the first thing to take up in most situations of diplomacy.

Ponthieu resists your army of invasion. Count Guy is determined to make you bleed before he will allow you to take his prisoners. That is payment of a sort; but he would prefer money, lands or titles, or all three. You can continue this stupid war, or allow that you made a mistake, swallow a little humble pie, and meet with count Guy to discuss terms.
Keep fighting until you beat Ponthieu into the ground; the county is no match for your might.
Parley with count Guy. Work out terms for ransoming Harold Godwinson.
