William's Pitch to the Barons and Nobles

William was an autocratic norman duke. As such, he was able to enrich or impoverish the assembled nobility with a wave of his hand. So it's not like they could just laugh it off. Instead, they told him that they would definitely take part in his plan. But before we start fitting the horses with life jackets, we shold probably gather a larger council,. Since they would also be called upon to become the first norman pibious assault force. And i'm sure they'd like to hear about your amazing plan as well.
