Chapter 1771: American King
However, Marin's road to the south was not particularly smooth. Because Emperor Maximilian I protested to the Pope.
It was not Maximilian I that aimed at Marin, but he felt that-the granting of the throne belongs to secular rights, not to the Holy See. Although the establishment of the vaccinia law by Marin has made extraordinary achievements, the emperor should still be the king in the Holy Roman Empire. After all, after the "Kanosa Shame" that year, the emperor and the pope had already made clear the division of labor-the emperor controlled secular rights, and the pope controlled religion. If the Pope promotes Marin's Grand Duchy of Beihai to be a kingdom, he is suspected of overstepping his authority ...
In addition, if Marin is promoted to the king, then the status of the newly promoted North Sea Kingdom in the German region will be a bit awkward. Because the king is supposed to have a slightly higher status than the electorate, the king of Bohemia is the highest-ranking one among the seven electors. But if Marin became the King of Beihai, what would happen to the emperor's election after that?
Not only did the emperor raise objections, but the German princes also put forward opinions-a new king was added in Germany, and we are not easy to get along with. After all, the king's status is higher than the general election. However, if Marin is to become the king of the German region, what should be counted? Automatically become an elector? Everyone is not happy-does this not give the Habsburg family a vote directly? It ’s embarrassing not to be an elector ...
Therefore, the emperor and the seven emperors, as well as some important German princes, rushed to Rome to discuss the matter together ...
In fact, the emperor was happy that Marin called the German electorate. However, the Seven Electors were unanimously opposed, and many German real power nobles also opposed.
However, Marin's establishment has made extraordinary achievements, and there is no reason to oppose him to obtain the crown. Finally, the Seven Electors and a dozen German aristocrats who came to Rome came up with a compromise—agreeing that Marin was crowned king. However, it was not the king of the North Sea, but the king of the barren mainland of Marin ’s colony.
They heard the Spanish say that the wild continent is not small. An island of Hispaniola, once colonized by Spain, is much larger than Sicily. The entire continent and the establishment of a kingdom should be more than enough.
Therefore, the Seven Electors and a dozen German Dukes jointly proposed the Holy See-crowning Marin as a wild king ...
In addition, France also strongly opposed Marin as the king of the German region and supported him as a wild king. Portugal also agrees with France, while Spain is neutral. The Envoy of England supported Marin as King of the North Sea, but England did not have a say in European affairs, and its influence in European affairs was not as good as that of the Seven Electors.
Marin heard their suggestion, covered with black lines-King of the Wild, your uncle! Not abbreviated as "barbaric king"? You guys are too malicious!
However, he moved his heart—because, he suddenly remembered that it seemed to be the entire barren continent. At present, the Holy See only rewarded him with the coastal colonial power of the east and west. In the vast inland regions of the Americas, the Holy See has not yet awarded him all.
Originally, he intended to gradually and gradually get rewards from the entire Holy Land of the Holy See. However, this time taking advantage of the merits, why not swallow the Americas alone?
Discussed with Pope's father-in-law, Julius II publicly announced that the entire barren continent would be rewarded to Marin. The German princes and France have no opinions. Anyway, they have little interest overseas. Portugal does not agree, but Portugal is also a maritime country, and its influence on Europe is similar to that of England. Therefore, the Portuguese dissent cannot change anything.
Spain is also somewhat reluctant, after all, they also have the careful thinking to return to America. However, Spain and the North Sea have good relations. Even with careful consideration, the Spanish messenger voted in favor.
As a result, Marin achieved the goal of monopolizing the entire America.
However, Marin hated the term "Wild King". He didn't want to be recorded as a "barbaric king Marin" by future generations, so he raised objections in public, but he made the nobles and envoys present happy.
Thinking about it, Marin proposed-to rename the wild continent as the "American continent", and this new kingdom is called the "American kingdom", and his nickname is "King of America."
The United States is actually the name of America. For Marin's naming of the country by his navigator, some people in this room despise-why don't you use your own name?
But Marin has a bitter feeling in his heart. Imagine how nice it is to call America? American King! If it is called the Kingdom of Marin, then it is not very nice, referred to as Ma Guo? King of Malaysia? Animal leader? Not as good as the wild king ...
Therefore, under the onlookers of the nobles who ate melons, Marin was finally crowned as "King of America" by Julius II. Moreover, after the authorization is not used for the coronation of Rome, it can be crowned by finding a bishop at home.
In addition, under the hint of Marin, the Pope also issued a decree declaring that the entire America belongs to Marin and his heirs, and other countries must not fight for it. Otherwise, it is a betrayal of Marin ’s great gratitude for saving Europe as a whole. As a Holy See who attaches importance to morality, moral corruption must be punished ...
The wild continent at this time has long been misled by Marin as a terrible wild land. How can there be any objection in other countries? In addition, Marin did save all of Europe this time, and everyone accepted his kindness. Therefore, the representatives of all countries signed the oath of "The United States will automatically be exempted from punishment". Only Portugal ’s representative, Valdo, did not participate in the coronation ceremonies because of illness, nor did he participate in the signing. And this also laid the groundwork for the subsequent conflict between the North Sea State and Portugal ...
Of course, every Portugal is not an opponent of the North Sea country. However, the countries that could not stand the signing of France, etc., but later regretted, supported and encouraged Portugal ... they signed on the pledge, and it is not easy to break the pledge. But Portugal did not sign it, so it became the representative of the fault finding elected by the jealous country ... However, these are the future things ...
……
After being crowned as "King of America", Marin was full of enthusiasm and brilliance. Angela also came to Rome, met her father, and was brought to the queen's crown by the kind-faced father Julius II, and became Queen of the United States. And Caesar also became the crown prince of the United States ...
At this point, Marin finally moved from His Royal Highness to "His Majesty the King".
However, those German nobles and envoys who participated in the coronation ceremony felt a little funny in their hearts. Because, in their eyes, Marin is just a land turtle king of a wild continent, and the gold content is not as high as the king of a small European country. Or, in their hearts, Marin is just a barbarian king. Therefore, they actually have a little contempt for Malin in their hearts.
But Marin doesn't care--how can you despise me, I am also a king. After seeing me in the future, you have to call "His Majesty Marin". The throne crowned by the pope himself is recognized throughout Europe, unlike the self-proclaimed kings of turtles. Whether you want it or not, Lao Tzu will be the King of America. Even if the emperor chooses to see himself, he must salute first. After all, the king is slightly higher than the electorate. After all, although the electorate is considered to be equal to the king by the Germans, in fact, the electorate usually sees the king first when he sees the king ...
Or ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The electorate and the king are equal "is just the idea of the Germans. No one admits this when they are out of Germany. Just like the Japanese Japanese emperor, the Japanese think that it is the same as China's The emperor was equal, but the ancient East Asian countries generally believed that the Japanese emperor and the king of Korea were equal. Even the electors themselves had a number of hearts, and when they saw the kings, they were first of all. The king of Bohemia, among the electors, has the highest identity among secular electors.
Marin, the American king, although the territory is "barren land" overseas. But after confirmation by the Holy See, it is also a sovereign kingdom. Therefore, this crown is quite strong.
Since the king has been promoted, it is natural to have the emblem and seal of the royal family as a symbol of the royal family. Marin personally fought, and then a brand new Stars and Stripes appeared in the coronation of the Holy See ...
However, Marin made very big changes to the Stars and Stripes of later generations-thirteen became twelve, and 50 stars became twelve stars ...
After all, history has changed, and there are no 13 North American states yet, where are the 13? There are no more stars.
And for the interpretation of the stars and stripes, Marin explained this way-the 12 bars represent the 12 disciples of Jesus, and the 12 stars represent the zodiac signs of the traditional Western astrology ...
This explanation is very in line with the requirements of the Catholic superstition and fits well with this era. Therefore, the castration version of the "Twelve Apostles and Zodiac Stars" castration became the family emblem and banner of the American royal family ...
