Boost: 15%+ to Glory

By most accounts William I of Sicily was considered a successful monarch. His forces contributed to the defence of the Italian mainland and he was a signatory on an eventual peace treaty with the Greeks. However, he was forever at odds with his barons, who were encouraged by the Pope to overthrow their king - an effort that failed thanks to William’s army rallying to return him to power.

William lived out his reign in relative peace, with the “bad” epithet largely ascribed to the work of a later historian allied to the baronial class. Which just goes to show how important it is to build up as much Glory while you can, as you never know how your legacy will be remembered.

Don’t forget you can also invest in a Battle Pass to maximise those rewards as you ascend to greatness!
