Your Mightiness

Scholars in several major factions of European historiography in later generations have always had disputes over August I, the King of Glory. The most controversial part is about Joan of Arc, who was later overturned.

In the name of God and saints, Joan of Arc led the French people to raise the anti-flag in the northern part of Chinon, and almost let a great king who solved the Black Death, vigorously promoted the development of the Renaissance, and led the glory of France to shine on every inch of land in Europe In this way, he missed France.

Of course, as we all know, Joan's uprising failed in the end.

The court under the rule of August I, after a year-long debate, finally burned Joan to death on the grounds of "witch confusion", which played a role in stabilizing the national conflicts between France and England at that time. indelible effect.

On the day when it was decided to execute Joan of Arc, August I finally appeared in the courtroom.

From the beginning to the end, the luxuriously dressed August I sat upright in the middle and highest position, with his hands crossed, without saying a word.It wasn't until the end, after the trial results came out, that August I finally spoke out and asked Joan an unclear question: "Do you feel that you have really received God's grace?"

Some historians have conspiratorially suggested that the problem was a trap from the king.Because the medieval church has clearly stipulated that no one can be sure that he has received the grace of God.In other words, if Joan of Arc gives an affirmative answer, then she proves that she is a witch heresy, but if Joan of Arc denies it, she admits that she is guilty of the crimes that have been judged against her in the court. (adapted from Du Niang)

According to the records of the notary at that time, after the king asked this question, the entire trial court seemed to be taken away by someone out of thin air. Whether it was speaking English or French, they all chose to shut up tacitly and waited with bated breath. Germany's answer.

Joan stood proudly in the center, just like she would always do, refusing to lower her head.

The eyes of the brave girl and the young king were glued in the air, and they looked at each other calmly for several minutes, until at the end, Joan of Arc, who was dressed in a prison uniform but stood like a fighter, calmly replied: " If I don't have it, then I hope God will give it to me; if I have it, I hope God will still give it to me."

After this answer, no one in the audience could say another word.

Before an event that must be called a "significant discovery" by the historians, scholars at the time insisted that August I was also said to be dumbfounded, and did not know how to continue to embarrass Joan of Arc.

But after the "significant discovery" came out, everyone began to change their tone again, feeling that August I applauded. In the silent hall, the king stood up and made such a move that everyone could not understand.Only August I persisted, expressed his feelings, admired Joan of Arc's bravery, appreciated Joan of Arc's wisdom, and showed the most perfect side of Joan of Arc to the world with practical actions.

But in the real history, August was neither foolishly stumped, nor was he applauded in the hall.

He just lowered his head slightly, hiding the tacit smile with Joan.He was indeed deliberately giving Joan a chance to perform, as his unknown grandmother Isabella said at about the same time: "This country needs faith."

The words of Joan of Arc are the last hope left to the people to prove the real existence of God.

The development of later generations was also as August hoped. No matter how the history recorded his interaction with Joan of Arc at that time, he successfully preserved the name of Joan of Arc as a saint.

This is what the historians argue about, thinking that the king August I was probably sick: on the one hand, he ordered the burning of Joan of Arc who resisted him, on the other hand, he disregarded dissuasion and supported Joan's family, and after his old age , It can almost be said that he completed the feat of overturning the case for Joan of Arc with his own strength and under tremendous pressure, regained the name of Joan of Arc, and expressed his remembrance of Joan of Arc in public more than once.

Many modern film and television works have written a lot about this, composing song after song of love and hatred between the king and the saint.

Because history has not clearly explained why August I was so inconsistent.Therefore, whether it is a literary worker or a historian, they all think that this kind of thing can only be explained by love.A young man, a high-spirited, forbidden love who loves and kills each other, oh, this sounds extremely romantic.

Some people even say convincingly that Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", a famous writer who was born in the same period, was inspired by this.

Although it is ridiculous, it does cater to the tastes of many markets.

It wasn't until Pope Leo X personally wrote a memoir "My Beloved" about his exile for more than ten years that some relevant content was accidentally leaked by relevant personnel of the Holy See, which allowed the real history to be restored. Before the eyes of the world, the truth came out, Auguste and Joan of Arc were restored, and Shakespeare was also innocent.

The thousand-year-old mystery has finally been solved.

——From the beginning, Joan of Arc never died.It was an elaborate hoax, and Auguste I and Leo X managed to keep Joan alive.

When the Holy See's mistakes about the witch trials were corrected, August I has been working on rectifying the names of those "witches" who were tried.

In the memoirs of Leo X, there is this sentence: "My dear Orr does not believe that there are no witches in this world, he just firmly believes that no matter what there is, there will be good and bad. And most of the women who were burned to death were Lovely, poor creature. This idea of ​​fraternity is beyond my comprehension, and I always feel that Al is more of a saint than I am, beyond redemption."

In the films shot after that, influenced by the memoirs of Leo X, some people always believed that the rescue of Joan of Arc must have gone through a very tortuous and thrilling rescue process.August and Leo X have encountered dangers of one kind or another, time and time again relying on their wisdom to see through their tricks to make a rescue, and even occasionally Raphael lay down his guns, and was regarded as one of the villains that must be defeated. After nine Nine 81 difficulties, completed the task even more difficult than Tang Monk's journey to the West.

But in fact, the process was not difficult at all, and there was no fear of being almost discovered, because they were escorted by the most powerful conspirators in the world from the beginning to the end.It's a pity that modern people don't care about this, they just want the stories they expect.

The Holy See did not express any opinion on this, because they only cared about thanking that not all the contents of the Pope's memoir "My Beloved" were circulated.It's like how much space and praise their Pope used in his memoir thicker than a brick to praise the most unforgettable homosexual love in his life.In contrast, the extravagant life that the Pope strongly advocates and which is completely inconsistent with the teachings seems so insignificant.

Leo X, a miraculous pope who wrote letters to his relatives and friends on the first day he became pope, expressing bluntly, "Now I can start to enjoy it".

His predecessor and successor must have wanted to kill him.

Cough, back to reality, when Leo X was only Cardinal Joe, and August I was only the King of France, they had just experienced the Joan of Arc incident together, and now they are enjoying the kind of needless to say "I'm early I'll tell you," but that's enough days to make everyone feel ashamed.

Because as August asked before, if Joan of Arc was burned to death, but the Black Death did not disappear, then who will bear the blame?

The Holy See gave the answer - Witch Hunt (Witch Trial).

It's not that witch hunting is wrong, it's that witches aren't hunted enough.From black cats to redheads, none are spared.Yes, the magical Middle Ages began to feel that red-haired, fair-skinned women were the most likely images of witches.

August almost kneels to the imagination of these people.

The most stupid thing in August's opinion is that they don't even let the cats go.

In his letters to his family, August wrote again and again—[During the worst period of the plague, they began to say that the black cat was the incarnation of the witch, the witch's pet, and an ominous omen?Said that the cat's nose can spread the virus of the Black Death?Is this because you think you are living too comfortably? 】August felt that he might have found one of the reasons why the Black Death was so rampant in Europe.

Who did the black cat provoke?

Raphael rubbed his temples, and he also had a great headache: "I have ordered to strengthen the propaganda work, and we must convince the public that the Black Death mainly comes from mice, not cats. Without cats, the Black Death will only worsen." rampant."

"Will it work?" August worried.

"I hope so." Raphael wasn't sure about this either. The prestige of the Holy See was too deep. How could a mayfly shake a tree?Unless they can come up with clear examples to convince people that the sticking point is indeed in the rats.

Then, Miss Elizabeth gave August a surprise.

After accompanying the Queen Mother to the front line of the outbreak, this lady really did a lot of unexpected things.

Today, this "princess" who took the lead is almost famous throughout Europe. Everyone knows that there is such a princess and queen mother in England who are not afraid of the threat of death and swear to be with refugees, clearly expressing the country Will not give up any firm stand of a healthy person.

Compared with the Holy See who only blindly burns and burns, Miss Elizabeth's gentle policy undoubtedly appeases a lot of people's hearts.Of course, there were criticisms, some people couldn't understand what Miss Elizabeth was doing.

"She's doing a pep talk."

At least as far as France is concerned, many people envy England for having such a brave princess.

"Moreover, she saved a lot of healthy people in the counties where the epidemic was the worst, and prevented them from being infected with the Black Death because of the cruel method of sweeping them all. The most important thing is," August raised his hands happily. "Elizabeth said that she inadvertently saved a few Orientals who claimed to be merchants from the Ming Dynasty. Some of them knew herbs and had saved many people."

The merchant ship that Raphael went to the east to find a solution has already been sent out. He thought it would really take more than ten years, but now he finds out that maybe God is really helping them.

"that is really good!"

Taking this as an opportunity, the correct way of epidemic prevention propaganda has been opened. In the face of the ever-decreasing numbers, people naturally believe in reality more.It's a mouse, not a cat.

Raphael frowned in the face of such a great situation, he felt that this matter would not go so smoothly.It's not that there is something wrong with Elizabeth. From the moment she had the courage to leave London, Raphael would no longer feel that she had ulterior motives other than thinking that this woman was stupid.

only……

Elizabeth's popularity now seems to surpass that of the Inquisition. The most important thing is that Elizabeth believes in Protestantism. England, which is already popular in Protestantism, is now almost becoming an existence that should be eliminated earlier than witches in the eyes of the Holy See.In the controversy over whether the disease was spread by cats or mice, Elizabeth completely made the Inquisition lose face and face. They refused to admit their mistakes and could not stop there.

"I hope nothing will happen," Raphael said.

The author has something to say: Joan’s answer in court is true in history, but the person who asked the question was definitely not August 23333

Also, the fact that black cats are the incarnation of witches has a long history, but when the Black Death spread wildly, black cats were indeed blamed.There were even some "witches" who were burned simply because their pet was a cat.The most horrific record was in Switzerland, where hundreds of children were hanged simply because they had touched a cat before.

So, feudal superstition kills people.
