For an odd prime p≡3(mod4), traces to the three quadratic subfields show that an integer has coefficients (a+bp​+c2​+d2p​)/2 with rational integers a,b,c,d. Its norm to Q(p​) forces a,b even and c≡d(mod2). Hence an integral basis is 1,2​,p​,(1+p​)2​/2. The last generator satisfies the monic polynomial X4−(p+1)X2+(p−1)2/4, proving integrality as well as spanning. The subfield used for the norm matters: the norm to Q(2​) has different coefficients.
