As battle approaches, I have to wonder which army is more exhausted? #Battle1066

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

A blockade of the Channel means I cannot send my husband provisions. This battle needs to happen soon #Batle1066

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

@Jakob_Kubke That's the Normans for you Jakob! ;)

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

If @King_Harold66 has truly defeated the Thunderbolt of the North could he def… No! @Duke_William66 will be victorious! #Battle1066

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

The Normans have arrived in England! Be prepared @King_Harold66! #Battle1066

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

@samstev44748854 So the Saxons are feeling unstoppable? Good! Twice the pride, double the fall. #Battle1066

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

According to @Edith_1066, Hardrada owns a magical banner! Whatever it is, clearly it was enough to defeat you Saxons! 😂 #Battle1066

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

Normandy will be well looked after @Duke_William66. When you return, you will be a king! 👑 #Battle1066

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

Are you sure that’s wise @Duke_William66? Just one accident can destroy the entire fleet! #Battle1066

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

My spies travel far; I’m hearing rumours that the King of Norway is travelling to Orkney with his wife and Tostig… #Battle1066

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

@MrSRFoster @Duke_William66 I am not familiar with that individual.

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

I am not naïve. From the simplest clubs to the finest steel-blades, I know of the tools that will bring @Duke_William66 victory #Battle1066

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

Remember @Duke_William66: the longer we have to wait for favourable winds, the longer @King_Harold66 must feed his men #Battle1066

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

We will plant vines in our new land. In a few decades, I would hope to see as many as 40 vineyards in southern England! #Battle1066

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

Foreign knights are flocking to join us. No doubt they’re attracted by the well-known liberality of @Duke_William66! #Battle1066

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

Our soldiers are disciplined! Men ride wherever they want near our encampment without fear of squadrons of knights! #Battle1066

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

My husband @Duke_William66 wishes for me to rule Normandy during his absence, as a regent for our son #Battle1066

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

My husband’s flagship features a gilded boy with a horn in his hand, pointing towards England! Why you ask? Why not?! #Battle1066

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

I am going to give my husband a ship befitting of his status as the true king of England. She will called the Mora! #Battle1066

[Matilda of Flanders @Matilda_1066]

Of course you are 😉 @Edith_1066. Just so you know; life under @Duke_William66 can be very prosperous #Battle1066
