" This is too modest of Duke William, " said Aimery de Thouars, a captain of auxiliaries, rising and speaking with much energy. " It is too modest of him to appeal to soldiers, whether or no they will have their lord a king. Soldiers have nothing to do with questions of this nature ; and our discussions only serve to retard that which, as a matter of feeling, we all so ardently desire. " After the speech of Aimery de Thouars, the Norman nobles felt bound to support the opinion he had expressed ...; and it was unani- mously resolved that William should be crowned before proceeding farther with the work of the conquest. Accordingly, he entered London, took up his residence at the Tower, and ordered the neces- sary preparations to be made for the ceremony. Christmas was the day fixed for placing the Confessor's crown on the Conqueror's head, and the church of Westminster was decorated for the occasion. The Archbishop of Canterbury was invited to perform the office ; but Stigand declined. The Archbishop of York was then invited; and Aldred consented.
