Great picture! Particularly love how you drew Arthur in this, especially considering the fact that it's quite a difficult pose to draw. FrUK for the win
(It is a little bit of a historical inaccuracy since William was from Normandy which, at the time, was very much /not/ a part of France. In fact, he even hated the French! But French people today still love to brag about him XD. Francis would certainly like this picture!)

Normandy is in the North of France, isn't it? Or was it not during the time period? I didn't do enough research... Ah well, either way France would probably bring this sort of thing up at every chance he gets. Thank you so much my dear~ And thank you for the info too

It is part of France now but at the own time, Normandy was a separate country called... Normandy. And the Normans fought a lot with the Frankish (the French). But yeah, France would definitely be super-smug about it!
You're welcome! And actually, I got the info from a book called One Thousand Years of Annoying the French. It's well worth a read! So much FrUK...

I've heard of that book. It's about a lot of misguided common knowledge between the Anglo-Frank relationships, isn't it? I really need to read it, but I'm guessing that every page is going to make me smirk or giggle terribly at the thought of FrUK.

It IS Francis. And Arthur. But I'm glad you like it anyway.
