Chapter 360 Katherine of Aragon
Since the negotiations with Portugal were over, Ferdinand II did not rush back, but went to the Kingdom of Naples, which was close to the Pope, to inspect it. Before leaving, he ran to Rome again.
Ferdinand II is 52 years old, and in later generations, perhaps still in the late middle age. But in this era, he is a complete old man. His wife, Queen Isabella I, is one year older than him, and naturally she is a yellow-faced woman.
Therefore, Ferdinand II was also very lazy when he came to Italy this time, and he found many young girls to play. Just so happened that because of Marin's reminder that the Holy See had banned the female branch office for so long, the syphilis was banned. Therefore, Ferdinand II was not afraid of danger and could have fun with confidence.
Of course, Ferdinand II came to Rome not only for fun, but also for the meaning of enhancing feelings with the current Pope Julius II. Although the relationship between the two sides was not reached due to the fact that the Kingdom of Naples was still very good. After all, facing France, Julius II also needed the support of Ferdinand II's Spain. Therefore, during Ferdinand II's visit to Rome again, Julius II also hosted him several times.
These days, Marin tried hard to train the Fat Brothers' cooking skills, and Julius II's confidant chef, while helping to train the Fat Brothers' Italian cuisine, also learned the recipes of several French meals taught by Marin. Then, when entertaining Ferdinand II, he also used those meals. Unexpectedly, he immediately attracted Ferdinand II...
"Oh, this truffle is so delicious, so delicious... it's indescribable..." Ferdinand II looked intoxicated while eating the truffle.
"Sure enough, heavy Europeans are the best..." Marin, who accompanied the seat, looked at Ferdinand II's silence when eating truffles, and silently complained in his heart...
Legend has it that when the sow asked about the smell of truffles (similar to the smell of boars), he tried to dig up the soil and wanted to eat the truffle. Looking at the expression of Ferdinand II eating truffles, it seemed to be similar to the sows that smelled truffles...
The French fried foie gras and black pepper steaks behind were also very popular with Ferdinand II. As for caviar, let alone Fat Brothers, even Julius II's imperial chef is not very good at it. But Marin has sent someone to Hi-Tech to hire a master of caviar to serve as the assistant of Fat Brothers.
Maybe it was because of the food. After Ferdinand II finished the meal, he wanted to ask Julius II for a cook. For a moment, Marin was impulsive and wanted to give it to Ferdinand II by giving it to Ferdinand II so that he could obtain a stable source of information in the Spanish court.
However, Marin held back. Because he understood that things in France were more important. If Louis XII gave birth to a son, it would be miserable. Edward's daughter Margaret would definitely not escape the palm of the French prince.
And when Anna was contraceptive, whoever married Princess Margaret would have the right to claim the throne of England.
Although Henry VII married Edward IV's daughter as his wife, the legal ranking was higher. However, because of Henry VII's act of killing the regicide (killing Richard III), Edward could have used this as an excuse to declare Henry VII an illegal monarch.
Although Henry VII always said that Richard III was the regicide, and that if he killed Edward V, he had the right to replace him. However, although everyone speculated that Richard III killed Edward V, no one had found the body.
Only Marin knew that Edward V and his younger brother Duke of York were killed inside the wall of the Bloody Tower of the Tower of London. But the bodies of the poor brothers would not be discovered until the renovation of the Tower of London in the 17th century. Mr. Jin Yong even wrote "Liancheng Jue" based on this incident, creating an image of Wan Zhenshan who likes to kill people and build them into the wall.
Therefore, so far, although Henry VII has always said that Richard III killed the throne and killed Edward V's brothers. However, because the body was not found, Henry VII's words were not completely convincing. Instead, the evidence was conclusive. Therefore, as long as the York family had a male heir, they were fully qualified to use this as an excuse to compete with him for the throne. Therefore, Henry VII locked the young Edward into the Tower of London early and planned to execute him. If Marin had not come up with the method of using the same-looking person to replace him with the same-looking person based on the techniques of later TV dramas, Edward had been dead for several years.
That is, France and Scotland just wanted to make civil strife in England, not really wanted to support Edward ascend the throne. Therefore, Henry VII did not receive strong pressure.
If King Louis XII gave birth to the prince and then got married to Edward's daughter Margaret. Then, Marin was sure that France would definitely find a way to kill Edward and then support Little Margaret to become the young queen of England. After all, if Margaret married Louis XII, the prince that did not exist, England would be the grandson of Louis XII in the future.
As for the French navy being weaker than Britain? That is because the French aspirations are not on the sea. If you see the hope of unifying England, with France's financial strength, it is still easy to get one or two hundred warships. As long as you can defeat the British navy, the French army will be pressureless to kill the British army.
Once France and Britain merge, then the English Channel will be the French inland. At that time, Marin will still have a great voyage of P? It will be directly choked.
Didn’t Germany, in later generations, just wanted to expand but was choked by the British navy? So, if Germany wants to go to the world, it can not defeat France, but must defeat Britain. Otherwise, when the British navy rises, the Germans should stay quietly in the continental region and France and explode what kind of chrysanthemums... Or, go east and rub each other with the Russians - it’s all very sad anyway...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, Austrian Habsburg family is actually a way out. However, it was too late to move south to Italy in the Habsburg dynasty, and it was already in the 19th century. At that time, national annotations had already emerged, and Italy was difficult to do...
Although Italy is fighting against the five scumbags, Austria is not much better, it is fighting against the six scumbags. After France interfered, Austria became scared.
Britain is so important, and it is also important whether Louis XII can give birth to a prince. Therefore, Marin gave up the idea of mixing sand into the Spanish palace and focused on France.
During the meal, Ferdinand II suddenly mentioned the incident of his youngest daughter Princess Catherine. Speaking of which, Princess Catherine was also a bad guy. She originally married Arthur, the eldest son of Henry VII, but a few months after the marriage, Prince Arthur died of illness. According to the speculation of later historians, Arthur should have been poisoned to death by his younger brother Henry VIII. Otherwise, Henry VII would not have forced Henry VIII to engage Princess Catherine to maintain an ally with Spain.
Marin read this history and knew that after Prince Arthur passed away, Henry VII put Princess Catherine under house arrest and prevented Princess Catherine from returning to China, forcing her to get engaged to Henry VIII. But Henry VIII was still very young at this time, and in 1502, he was only 11 years old...
The 11-year-old Henry VIII dared to kill his brother, and later British historians believed that Henry VIII took action. After all, no one else had any motivation. It can be seen that Henry VIII was not a good person since he was a child. As for the few times he changed the queen and killed his wife after a disagreement, it was not surprising.
It is said that Henry VII also made someone beat Princess Catherine and forced her to get engaged to Henry VIII, who was only 11 years old at the time...
Thinking of this, Marin's eyes turned around and told Ferdinand II about the tragic experience of Catherine of Aragon, which was said in the history books, and of course, he added the "speakable" prefix...
"What? How dare they?" Ferdinand II was furious when he heard that his daughter had suffered so much. Although he was a ruthless politician who only cared about his son. However, his daughter was bullied so much. As a father and a king of a powerful country, Ferdinand II felt that his face was beaten and it hurt so much...
