I don't get why we're talking about Love here, especially for our period. When the English were being rebellious against William the Conqueror he just went up North and absolutely savaged the place. Twenty years later it was still in smithereens according to Domesday Book. But that didn't matter, because no longer was anyone challenging Norman rule. I doubt our Wills was losing any sleep over peasant hatred for that. All that mattered to him was their ultimate loyalty.
