Welcome you, please remember the address of this site :, mobile phone reading, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "The Emperor's Rise" at any time ...
Marin hesitated, but still told his parents his plans, and told them their concerns.
"What? Your kid wants to give this queen the opportunity to the widow princess in Spain? Marin, I tell you, this queen, our Huffman family is going to make up! As for the marriage of Spain and Denmark, you will not send assassins. Killed Prince Christian? Anyway, that kid is our enemy! "
Faced with the opportunity for her daughter to become the future, the old Hoffman was completely calm. Even Mrs. Mary was very moved. Why? That's the queen! A lot better than the Duchess and Countess.
Originally, the old couple's plan was to marry Anne to a prince of a little princely kingdom, and it wouldn't matter if they had no inheritance rights. But now, an opportunity to make Anne the queen of Poland and Lithuania is now in sight. Whether it is the stubborn old Huffman or the quiet and elegant Mrs. Mary, her heart is disturbed at this time.
Thinking that her daughter might become the queen of a big European country, the old Huffman and Mrs. Mary both had some blood on their heads and were so excited ...
Indeed, the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania is one of the most powerful forces in Europe. It is a superpower with a population of nearly one million square kilometers and a population of several million.
If it were not for its wonderful aristocratic republican system, replaced by a centralized system like France, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth could definitely become one of the strongest forces in Europe.
Even if centralization was not adopted, Poland and Lithuania at this time were still European superpowers. Moreover, after buying the Crimean Khanate, a former ally of the Moscow people, Poland and Lithuania's strategy for the Grand Duchy of Moscow has changed from defensive to mutually victorious. In the future, the Grand Duchy of Moscow will continue to fight for a century or two. It was not until the ancient second lord of Sweden appeared and beaten the Polish bird cavalry into dogs that the Polish Lithuanian Federation began to decline.
And throughout the 16th century, it was the moment when Polish wing cavalry appeared. It seems that it was the period of time when Sigmund I was in power. Sigmund I seemed to have a long life span, and lived until 1548 ...
"It seems ... Marriage with Siegmont I is also a good choice ..." Marin groaned a handful of beards on his chin and whispered.
"Sigmund I?" On the side, the old Huffman couple froze for a while, but it quickly reacted-wasn't that the Prince Sigmund ...
"Hey, if this prince really became Sigmund I, wouldn't my grandson be the King of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania in the future?" Said the old Hoffman happily.
On the side, Mrs. Mary nodded again and again. Obviously, this is a very attractive prospect ...
Seeing that the old Hoffmans and his wife were enchanted, Marin sighed.
However, he also understood the ideas of the old Hoffmans. Why? They all came from the little nobility, and they were really eager to marry their daughter to the king as queen. In this way, the Huffman family is a step forward. After all, if the daughter's son can become a king of a powerful country, it is definitely beneficial to the development of the Huffman family.
Moreover, Marin never told them his ambitions. Therefore, they did not know that their son might become king in the future.
Of course, even so, they probably will not miss the opportunity to turn their daughters into Queen of Poland and Grand Duchess of Lithuania. That was Poland and Lithuania, whose national strength was no less than the existence of the Holy Roman Empire. As parents, they wish every child has a good future. For her daughter, marrying a king and becoming a queen is definitely the most rewarding way out ...
Facing the pressure of his parents, Marin lowered his head and began to think quickly, weighing the pros and cons, thinking about the feasibility of marrying Anne to Prince Ziegmont, and the impact of this matter.
So, Marin began to search for information about Siegmont I from the depths of memory ...
In the end, Marin received the message that Prince Ziegmont will become King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania next year. However, the brother did not seem to be in a hurry to get married. It was not until 1512 that his elder brother, Vladislas II, king of Bohemia and King of Hungary, matched a 17-year-old Hungarian noble girl Barbara.
Moreover, Barbara's family at that time was just an ordinary nobleman in Hungary. Although, Barbara's brother Zopoya Janos will later become King of Hungary. However, it was elected after the death of Layos II, supported by Ottoman Turkey. Prior to this, the Janos family did not have a great place. At most, Zopoya Yanos is a relatively powerful Hungarian noble parliamentarian.
In this way, the Janos family at the time was very similar to the Huffman family today-the starting point was not high (Barbara's father, only a court knight), and later became a new upstart (Zupoya Yanos After joining the noble council, he became a political newcomer) ...
Therefore, it seems that Prince Siegmont's requirements for marriage partners are not so high, and it is not the attitude of "non-princess princesses do not marry". You know, in 1512, the status of the Janos family was not as good as the Huffman family.
After all, the Huffman family is now the head of an independent vassal state, which controls five princely states and belongs to a powerful family. The only drawback is probably the lack of heritage.
However, judging from the historical performances, Sigmund I did not pay much attention to his wife's family background ...
So, thinking about it, Marin felt that there was still a chance for Anne to become the wife of Sigmund I. In particular, this year Siegmont I has not yet become King of Poland, making Anne ’s chances even greater.
Because, no one knows that Alexander the Great Guild will die next year. You know, Duke Alexander is only 44 years old. Although he was in poor health, no one expected that he would die so early ...
The problem is, from the point that Sigmund I knew that he only got married in 1512, this guy seems to be not very positive about getting married. Otherwise, it would not be 45 years old to get married.
Moreover, although the Huffman family wanted to marry Anne to Prince Sigmund, it was not easy to speak directly. Now that Prince Siegmont's parents have passed away long ago, the two brothers are not too concerned about his marriage. Therefore, Prince Siegmont must be seen by Anne before he can propose the matter of marriage.
Therefore, Marin said to the old Hoffmans:
"I want to marry Anne to Prince Sigmund. I have no objection, but first of all, you have to let Prince Sigmund look at Anne ..."
"That's needless to say, our family Anne inherited your mother's beauty and wisdom, and it's brilliant!" Old Hoffman said proudly ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Marin rubbed his forehead silently and said:
"Okay, anyway, Prince Sigmund will stay here for a while. So, from tomorrow, Anne will be at the banquet for the invitation of Prince Sigmund. Remember to dress up Anne so that she can attract Zig Prince Monte ... "
"Okay, no problem, it's all on us!" After that, the old Hoffmans left happily.
Marin silently watched the old Hoffmans who left happily, and returned to their palace. He thought about the question of marrying Anne to Sigmund I, and he thought it was good. At the very least, Poland and Lithuania are powerful nations who are allies in marriage. In the future, there will be no worries that no allies will fight others together.
Moreover, the Polish wing cavalry seems to be good. Wait until you become the eldest uncle of the Polish king-oh no, it should be the second uncle. It should be possible to hire some wing cavalry in Poland ...
For this marriage, if Marin disagrees, it is estimated that Old Huffman can beat him directly. Anyway, it is good for himself, and Marin agreed. As for Catherine of Aragon, I will talk about it later ...
