Chapter 360: Catherine of Aragon

Ferdinand II did not rush back after the negotiations with Portugal, but went to inspect the Kingdom of Naples, which is close to the Papal State. Before leaving, he came to Rome again.

Ferdinand II is 52 years old. In later generations, he may still be in the middle age. But in this day and age, the proper elderly are gone. And his wife, Queen Isabella I, is one year older than him, and is naturally a yellow-faced woman.

Therefore, Ferdinand II came to Italy this time, and it was very turbulent. He found many young girls to play with. Exactly, because of Marin's reminder, the Holy See banned the women's branch for so long, which caused syphilis to be banned. Therefore, Ferdinand II is not afraid of danger and can play with confidence.

Of course, Ferdinand II came to Rome specifically not only for play, but also for the purpose of enhancing feelings with the current Pope Julius II. Although things cannot be discussed because of the Kingdom of Naples, the relationship between the two sides is still very good. After all, in the face of France, Julius II also needed the support of Ferdinand II of Spain. Therefore, while Ferdinand II came to Rome again, Julius II also hosted him a few times.

These days, Marin desperately trains the cooking of the fat brothers, and the confidant chef of Julius II, while helping to train the fat brothers in the level of Italian cuisine, has also taught Marin to teach several French dinner Practice, to learn. Then, when entertaining Ferdinand II, they also used those big meals. Unexpectedly, I immediately attracted Ferdinand II ...

"Oh, this truffle is so delicious, so delicious ... indescribable ..." With the truffle, Ferdinand II was intoxicated.

"Sure enough, Europeans who are heavy-mouthed are the best ..." Marin, the attendant, looked at the mean face of Ferdinand II when he was eating truffles, and said in silence in his heart ...

Legend has it that when the sow asked about the smell of truffles (similar to the smell of boars), she deliberately cut the soil and tried to eat truffles. Looking at the expression of Ferdinand II eating truffles, it looks like the sow that smells of truffles ...

The French-style fried foie gras and black pepper steak are also very popular with Ferdinand II. As for caviar, not to mention the fat brothers, even the master chef of Julius II is not very good. But Marin has sent people to Hi-Tech to hire caviar masters as assistants to the fat brothers.

Probably it's eating. After finishing this big meal, Ferdinand II wanted to ask Julius II for a cook. For a moment, Marin was impulsive. Think of Fat Brothers as a gift to Ferdinand II, so that he can obtain a stable source of intelligence in the Spanish court.

However, Marin refrained. Because he understands that things in France are more important. If Louis XII gave birth to a son, it would be miserable. Edward's daughter Margaret could not escape the king's palm.

In the case of Anna being contraceptive, whoever married Margaret Princess equaled the claim of the throne of England.

Although it is said that Henry VII married Edward IV's daughter as his wife, the jurisprudence ranks higher. However, because of Henry VII's killing of King (killing Richard III), Edward can use this as an excuse to declare Henry VII as an illegal monarch.

Although Henry VII remarked that Richard III was the king-killer and killed Edward V, he had the right to replace it. However, although everyone speculated that Richard III had killed Edward V, no one had ever found the body.

Only Marin knew that Edward V and his brother Duke of York were killed inside the wall of the **** tower of the Tower of London. But the bodies of the poor brothers will not be discovered until the Tower of London is renovated in the 17th century. According to this incident, Mr. Jin Yong even wrote the "Lian Cheng Jue" based on this incident, creating an image of Wan Zhenshan who likes to kill people and build them into the walls.

Therefore, so far, Henry VII has continued to say that Richard III had taken the throne and killed Brother Edward V. But because the body could not be found, Henry VII ’s words were not completely convincing. Instead, he killed Richard III before the battle, the evidence is conclusive. Therefore, as long as the York family has a male heir, it is fully qualified to use this as an excuse to compete with him. Therefore, Henry VII put the young Edward in the Tower of London early and planned to execute him. If it wasn't for Malin to figure out how to replace him with people of the same appearance based on the techniques of later TV series, Edward had been dead for several years.

That is, France and Scotland just want to make England civil unrest, not really want to support Edward to take the throne. Therefore, Henry VII was not under strong pressure.

If the French King Louis XII gave birth to the crown prince, and then married Edward's daughter Margaret. Well, Marin can be sure that France will definitely find a way to kill Edward, and then support the young Margaret to become the young queen of England. After all, if Margaret became married to Louis XII's prince who didn't yet exist, England would be Louis XII's grandson.

As for the French navy is weaker than the British? That's because France is not on the sea. If we see the hope of unifying England, it is still easy to get one or two hundred warships with the financial strength of France. As long as the British navy can be defeated, the French Army has no pressure to kill the British Army.

Once France and Britain merge, then the English Channel is the river of the French. When the time comes, Marin still has a big P sailing? He was directly stuck in the neck.

The Germans of later generations just wanted to expand, but they were given a neck by the British navy? Therefore, Germany can go to the world without defeating France, but Britain must be defeated. Otherwise, after the rise of the British navy, the Germans would still be quiet and stay in Europe and France to explode that chrysanthemum ... or, Xiangdong and Maozi would fight each other-they are pretty sad anyway ...

Of course, the fact that the Habsburgs of Austria fought for Italy is actually a way out. It's just that the Habsburg dynasty went south to Italy too late, it was all in the 19th century. At that time, national annotations had risen, and Italy was hard to get ...

Although Italy is the fifth slag, Austria is not much better. It is the sixth slag. As soon as France interfered, Austria counseled.

Britain is so important, it is also important whether Louis XII can give birth to a prince. Therefore, Marin gave up his intention to mix sand with the Spanish royal palace, and instead focused on France.

During the banquet, Ferdinand II suddenly mentioned the matter of her little daughter, Princess Catherine. Speaking of which, Princess Catherine is also a bad luck. It was originally married to Henry VII's eldest son Arthur, but a few months after the marriage, Prince Arthur died of illness. According to historians of later generations, Arthur should have been poisoned by his brother Henry VIII. Otherwise, Henry VII will not force Henry VIII and Princess Catherine to get engaged to maintain an ally relationship with Spain.

After reading this history, Marin knew that after Prince Arthur died of illness, Henry VII put the Princess Catherine under house arrest and prevented Princess Catherine from returning to her country, forcing him to be engaged to Henry VIII. But Henry VIII was still very young at this time ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ when he was only 11 years old ...

At the age of 11, Henry VIII dared to poison his brother, and later generations of British historians believed that Henry VIII shot. After all, everyone else has no motivation. It can be seen that Henry VIII was not a good thing since childhood. It is not surprising that the queen was replaced several times later and the wife was killed if he did not agree.

It is said that Henry VII also beaten up Princess Catherine, forcing him to be engaged to Henry VIII, who was only 11 years old ...

Thinking of this, Marin's eyes turned, and he told the tragic encounter of the legendary Catherine of Aragon in the history book with Ferdinand II, of course, the prefix of "supposedly" was added ...

"What? How dare they?" Ferdinand II was angry when he heard that his daughter had suffered so badly. Although, he is a ruthless politician and only cares about his son. However, her daughter was so insulted. As a father and king of a powerful country, Ferdinand II felt his face was beaten, and it hurt very much ...

So Ferdinand II went away angrily, planning to send someone to the UK to explore the details. Marin reminded Ferdinand II that it was better to send spies than diplomats. Because diplomats are clear-faced and easily fooled by the British. Only spies will detect the real situation ...
