In addition to asking Margaret to prove that she and John Stewart were not involved in the murder of James IV, Edward also learned from the example of the fact that when the child grew up, he would be compared with oil paintings. He must look similar to John Stewart and Margaret to prove that this is indeed the child of the two. Otherwise, it is considered as the bastard born to Margaret indiscriminately and affair, and it does not belong to the blood of the Scottish royal family.
Then, Edward also sent an invitation letter, inviting envoys from various countries to attend his coronation ceremony as the "Agent King of Scotland"...
People in Europe were shocked. These days, many people's glasses were shattered - Damn, can the king still serve as an agent?
When the news reached France, Louis XII was almost vomiting blood by Edward's shamelessness - he had seen shameless ones, but had never seen such shameless ones! Do you still want the face of a king?
Margaret was also shocked - this is the postdoctoral fellow in the palace fighting world. I only have a master's degree and still need to study...
...
Then, Margaret, who reacted, made a public statement surrounded by a group of Scottish nobles who were exiled to France, had never heard of an agent king, and, as the blood of the Scottish royal family, he/she, and her children, did not admit that there was an agent king. Even the title of the Regent was not authorized to Edward...
Louis XII also quickly spoke out for Margaret, and said that France would never admit Edward's shameless act of stealing the Scottish throne and called on all countries to unanimously oppose it.
But soon, the Habsburg family jumped out and slapped in the face - Maximilian I said that as the official crowned emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, he was willing to admit that Edward was appointed as the acting king of Scotland. Moreover, he would send his son Philip, who is permanently stationed in the Netherlands, to Edinburgh to attend Edward's coronation ceremony...
Suddenly, Louis XII's face was swollen and hot...
This is not the end. Spain, which has always been in conflict with France, also expressed that it would send envoys to Edinburgh to watch the ceremony. Fortunately, Spain was afraid that France would be angry and embarrassed. It took advantage of the critical moment when Spain sent troops to Morocco to stab the sword in the back and did not make more intense remarks. Otherwise, Ferdinand II might go to Edinburgh to watch the ceremony in person.
So, Louis XII just got beaten on his left face, and his right face was also harsh...
Seeing that the Habsburg family and two top-level Buddhas in Spain jumped out, the younger brothers behind the two families also jumped out to support their respective bosses.
The French younger brothers, such as Savoy and Lorraine, also jumped out to support France and oppose Edward. Even the Swiss Western Resistance Army jumped out to support Louis XII in the name of the "Swiss Republic".
...
Seeing the two camps facing each other, people turned their attention to the most important Holy See. As a result, the Holy See made a verdict that seemed neutral but actually favored Edward...
Julius II announced that the legitimacy of Edward's Scottish King will not be recognized for the time being. However, he also urged Margaret to find conclusive evidence that she and John Stewart were not involved in the assassination of James IV as soon as possible. Otherwise, five years later, the Holy See will support Edward's legitimacy...
This attitude seems neutral, and Margaret has given himself five years to defend himself. However, in this era without surveillance video, it is difficult to prove his innocence? Not to mention 5 years, even if he gives 10 or 20 years, it will be difficult for Margaret to prove his innocence... So, 5 years later, it is safe to become the King of Scotland...
...
After the Holy See declared neutrality, more European monarchs and princes declared neutrality. But when it comes to standpoints, no one is more bizarre than Marin...
Why is Marin weird? He first made it clear that the Beihai Congress is neutral and will not interfere with this matter in the name of the Grand Duke of Beihai.
Everyone saw - Hey, what's going on? Why did Marin Hoffman be neutral? Didn't he just send troops to help Edward? He was also a member of Emperor Maximilian I. What happened?
But the next day, Marin announced unconditional support for the Lord Edward in the name of the Earl of Newcastle, England, and would personally attend the coronation ceremony in Edinburgh in the name of the Earl of Newcastle.
Then everyone was confused - can they still play like this? How shameless it is to make it happen...
But if you think about it carefully, Marin is really fine - you see, he is both the Grand Duke of the North Sea and the Earl of Newcastle, England. As the Grand Duke of the North Sea in the German region, he does not get involved in the British affairs and declares neutrality. This is fine...
But as the Earl of Newcastle, England, there is no problem with supporting his lord Edward - he should have done this...
...
In fact, Marin didn't want to do this either. But before helping the Pope destroy the Republic of Siena, he had offended France with his friends. If France stimulated France again, France might find fault. Although Marin was not afraid of France, he planned to go to the Eastern Ming Empire. It would be best if he could offend France before leaving. No matter how bad it was, he could not leave France with a handle to take action. After all, if he was not there, it would be hard to say what the French would do.
So Marin simply declared that the North Sea Kingdom was neutral, but the Earls of Newcastle (Normburgland and Isle of Wight) belonged to England, and supporting the lord was forced to do it... In this way, even if the French wanted to find fault, it would be difficult to find out... In this way, Marin could travel to the Ming Dynasty with confidence, so as not to let the French take their own nest...
...
Marin's remarks and attitudes reached Paris, and Louis XII smiled angrily - Damn, I thought Edward was the most shameless before. Unexpectedly, Marin was even more shameless...
So, the angry Louis XII sent an envoy to Orich to reprimand Marin's shameless words and deeds. Marin actually wanted to beat the French envoy, but when she thought that she was going to the Ming Dynasty, she had to smile and explain to the French envoy with a smile - that, I don't think about it either... You see, my North Sea Kingdom is neutral... But the Earl of Newcastle is the territory of England, which Edward forced...
Then, Marin also sent a bunch of artworks stolen from Siena, and let the French messengers bring to Louis XII...
Marin's attitude was so low that Louis XII could not express his anger at once. After all, Marin was right. If he became a prince of England, he had to listen to the words of the King of England...
In fact, if Marin hadn't been worried that the French would have confiscated his nest when he went to the Ming Dynasty, he would not have been so humble and would have been retaliated. The Beihai Kingdom had too many secrets. If he was not at home and was beaten to the door, even if the capital could be kept, the countryside would definitely not be able to keep it. At that time, agricultural secrets were leaked. In order to keep the hometown stable and the secrets not discovered, Marin had to temporarily lower his head and pretend to be a grandson.
...
Seeing that Marin's attitude was too good and could not continue to squirt, Louis XII turned his gun to squirt his old opponent Maximilian I. But Maximilian I immediately responded back - please maintain enough respect for the only emperor in Europe...
Louis XIII suddenly gusts of old blood, almost gushing out...
Although Maximilian I's words are light and may not be lethal to others, they are really too lethal to the French. The position of emperor is a pain in France's heart...
The Kingdom of France is the largest and most populous country in Western Europe, and its financial strength is second only to the Republic of Venice. But the French monarch is just a king. The neighbor of the Habsburg family has a scattered territory and is even poorer in finance. But the Habsburg family has the throne, half a level higher than the King of France... Moreover, Maximilian I had just successfully crowned in Rome, and the French were not willing to admit his position as emperor, so he was hurt by his words...
This is also the reason why Napoleon later generations insisted on destroying the Holy Roman Empire - because the French also wanted the crown of the Roman emperor...
However, at that time, European countries were no longer so disciplined. Even if they could no longer call themselves the Roman emperor, the Habsburg family still formed an Austrian empire and continued to call themselves the emperor...
