Although he was a little confused about the abnormal behavior of his third daughter Maria, after discussing with the Parliament of the Kingdom of Castile, Ferdinand II agreed to marry the third princess Maria to Portugal King Manuel I as his second wife.
Because if Manuel I married another princess from another country as her successor, then Miguel, the only son of Princess Isabella, who is only 6 years old, will probably be killed by her stepmother. Instead of doing this, it is better to marry Princess Maria as a refrain. Her sister will not harm Prince Miguel, right?
But they were all wrong. In fact, after knowing that they could replace their sister and become the queen of Portugal, Princess Maria had already become murderous about her sister's only son, Prince Miguel. Of course, the premise is that she can leave a boy first. If she can't leave a boy, but kill Miguel, it would be no good. After all, the stepmother killed the ex-wife's child and the father could not be clear at all. If she failed to give birth to a boy, she would kill Miguel and let the Portuguese royal family die. Maybe Manuel I would kill her.
Moreover, Princess Maria is also a smart person. She believes that before starting, she must show her "loving" side and take care of Prince Miguel in every possible way... Until her son is born, Miguel can move away as a stumbling block...
In fact, in history, Princess Maria attacked Miguel very early. Although he married into Portugal in October 1500. Prince Miguel was finished in August, since Princess Isabella passed away in 1498, Princess Maria has long been the quasi-queen queen of the Portuguese Kingdom, and both sides have long begun to make relevant preparations. The reason why the wedding was postponed to October 1500 was because of the hostility and disputes between the two countries. It was mainly due to the interests of India, and the two countries had a very unhappy relationship. Therefore, the wedding was postponed.
But in fact, Princess Maria has long been regarded as the quasi-queen queen of Portugal, and she has reached into the Portuguese palace. She bribed the palace maids whom her sister had dowed and asked them to let the young Prince Miguel die prematurely before the start of her wedding. In this way, when the prince dies, no one suspects that she did it...
Therefore, Princess Maria is not a good person. Moreover, after seeing that Charles V, the son of his second sister Juanne, was about to inherit the two great empires of Shinra and Spain, he immediately tried every means to marry his daughter Isabella and become the empire queen.
In fact, Charles V's marriage suffered a great loss. The Austrian families of the Habsburg family originally planned to let Charles V marry Anne, the princess of the Bohemian Kingdom. Because when Maximilian I competed for Hungary with Vladislas II, he had an agreement that once the Bohemian Kingdom was extinct, the Bohemian Kingdom and the Hungarian Kingdom, including the Silesia and Moravia under the control of the Bohemian Kingdom, would be inherited by the Habsburg family.
In order to realize the dream of annexing the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Hungary, Silesia and Moravia, the Habsburg family's Austrian families supported the marriage between Charles V and Anne of Bohemia. Although Vladislas II had an only son, Rajosh, he was in poor health. The members of the Habsburg family in Austria hoped that Rajosh II would die early or die. In this way, the territory of the Habsburg family could be expanded to the neighboring areas such as the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Hungary, Silesia and Moravia.
However, because of the pressure from the Spanish royal family, Charles V married Princess Isabella, the daughter of Princess Maria. Then, Charles V's younger brother Ferdinand married Anne of Bohemia...
This laid the root of the disaster for the later disbanding of the consortium of Shinra and the Spanish Empire - Rajosh II was indeed dead, and the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Principality of Silesia and the Principality of Moravia were indeed all of them. However, they were all of them Ferdinand, not Charles V...
This problem arose. Charles V wants his son Philip II to inherit the Empire of Shinto and the Spanish Empire at the same time. However, after inheriting the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Principal of Silesia and the Principal of Moravia, Charles V's younger brother Ferdinand became more confident and planned to compete for the throne of the Holy Roman Empire.
Moreover, because he was afraid that Charles V's son Philip II had both Shinra and Spain, he suppressed the German vassal states like his father. Therefore, the seven electoral emperors chose Ferdinand as the emperor and the German king. Even if Charles V was willing to give up the real power of the German king and only allowed Philip II to have the title of emperor, the seven electoral emperors did not agree. In this way, the consortium of Shinra, who once defeated France and captured the French king, had to dissolve because of a wrong marriage...
If Princess Maria had not sent her daughter to be the queen under the operation, but was obeying the advice of the Habsburg family in Austria and let Charles V marry Anne of Bohemia, then the strong alliance between Shinra and Spain would continue to exist, and Germany could have achieved actual unity. After all, Spain's gold and silver benefits in the Americas were not a joke.
After the joint disbandment of Shinra and Spain, the Habsburg family in Shinra was in a difficult situation, while the Habsburg family in Spain continued to dominate. It did not begin to decline until the failure of the "Eighty Years' War" and the "Thirty Years' War". It can be seen that the strength of a country is not only related to the combat effectiveness of the army, but also has a considerable relationship with financial resources.
At the beginning, Spain was rich, but the population was insufficient and the source of soldiers was limited. Although the German region was poor, it could have sufficient sources of soldiers. Moreover, the Germans had a tradition of martial arts and had good combat power. The result of the strong alliance between the two was that Charles V defeated France and forced France and the infidels to form an alliance with the infidels to distract Shinro.

If Charles V hadn't had good luck, he happened to catch up with the Reformation War and spent a lot of effort to deal with Protestantism, perhaps, the German vassal states would have been completely unified by him.
In fact, the reason why the Reformation emerged was that a smart man, Frederick III, the Elector of Saxony, was the one who plotted against Marin.
The reason why Frederick III protected Martin Luther and supported him in the Reformation was actually to disrupt the waters of Edward. As long as the German region was in trouble because of religious affairs, Charles V would not have the energy to deal with the vassal states.
In fact, he did succeed, and involved the German region in a long and tragic religious war. Moreover, although Frederick III supported Martin Luther, he hid too well and was not punished.
Unfortunately, his successor was not good at being too straightforward and exposed. Then, after losing the religious war, the title of Saxony's electorate fell into George's lineage, and Moritz, the descendant of the silly George, took advantage of it, and Saxony was reunified...
In fact, Marin has been hesitating whether to marry his son Caesar with Anne, the princess of the Bohemian Kingdom. Because his son is about the same age as Princess Anne.
Moreover, I have a good relationship with the brothers of the Jagelon Dynasty. Although my title is a little lower, it is not impossible to make good use of Prince Sigmont and marry Bohemia King Vladislas II.
And if Rajosh II died in battle as in history, then the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Principality of Silesia and the Principality of Moravia will be his son...
However, Marin thought about it and said that Rajosh II might not have died in battle after the butterfly effect brought by his time travel. If so, Caesar would marry Anne of Bohemia.
So, Marin finally gave up his plan to marry the Kingdom of Bohemia. Because that was full of uncertainty. As long as he could defeat Henry VII, it would be safe. Because the French gave birth to Edward's wife Anna...
When Edward had only Margaret, as long as Edward seized England and married Margaret, it was equivalent to gaining Britain...
Which one is more cost-effective compared to the United Kingdom, Bohemia, Hungary and other places? Of course, Marin chose the United Kingdom. Don’t look at the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Hungary, plus Silesia and Moravia, the area is larger than that of England and the population is larger. However, Hungary is a pit...
Hungary is located on the border with Ottoman Turkey. The inheritance of Hungary is equivalent to inheriting the war with Ottoman Turkey. Charles V's failure to fight to Paris is related to the excessive pressure placed on Turkey on the Hungarian border.
The Balkans have been a powder keg for a long time and are constantly fighting. Moreover, these areas are not by the sea and cannot develop maritime trade. Therefore, seeing that the territory is quite large and the population is large, it is actually not as affordable as the UK. After all, the UK is suitable for the development of large voyages and rich coal and iron, which is much more promising than those four regions...
