[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

The Earl of Allen, who replaced the Queen Mother of Scotland, was not much better than the former, even because he lacked the status of a French nobleman than the former, and he himself had already lost the courage to resist the English in two battles, so he was sitting on the seat. At the moment at the negotiating table, I realized that I and even Scotland had already lost the right to speak. Basically, William Tudor did what he said.

But when the young Prince of Wales mentioned that the Queen of England should raise the Queen of Scots, Earl Allen slightly raised his eyebrows, his face so bitter that people couldn't bear to look directly at him: "Your Highness, Scotland has not been destroyed, so how can her Queen Born in a foreign court?"

"Are you reminding me that the English army has not entered Edinburgh?" Facing Earl Allen, William Tudor did not need to be polite at all, and his half-smile made Earl Allen shudder.

"I saved face for Scotland, and didn't let your queen and queen mother be captured and paraded in the streets, so don't push me any further." William Tudor's voice suddenly turned cold, which made Earl Allen even more terrified.

"After all, in terms of blood, my father and I are also descendants of Malcolm III of Scotland, and there are even several Scottish princesses in our ancestors." William Tudor tapped the armrest of the chair lightly, and resumed his soft tone: "Dear Earl of Arran, you should understand that if my father and I follow the example of my namesake William the Conqueror, and directly enter Edinburgh, will you people recognize that the King of England is the King of Scotland?"

"The King of France will not sit by and watch you do this." At this moment, Earl Allen felt that his little heart was about to jump out of his throat. After all, Mary Stuart died without heirs, so according to blood relationship, he is the The next King of Scotland.And if Henry VIII had a claim to the Scottish throne, he would definitely kill everyone who stood in front of him.

Just as he and his father had executed the Duke of Buckingham and the heir of York as an excuse.

"Of course King François will not let us sit on the Scottish throne." William Tudor had expected Earl of Allen's rebuttal, and directly strangled his expectations: "But we can reach an agreement with Charles V. protocol."

"As long as England is willing to support Charles V in regaining the family territory of his grandmother Mary of Burgundy, then Charles V will definitely support us in inheriting the Scottish throne." William Tudor stared at Earl of Allen's eyes and slowly moved Dao: "Do you think that King Francois cares more about the rich Low Countries that is close at hand, or the impoverished Scotland that is thousands of miles away?"

Earl Allen was speechless now.

The pair of negotiators didn't speak much until William Parr brought the agreement in. They just let an atmosphere of unilateral repression spread between them.

"Your Highness, Mr. Cromwell has sent you the latest agreement." William Parr glanced at Earl Allen sympathetically, and handed William Tudor a roll of brown paper.

"Thank you." After William Tudor took it, he didn't immediately spread it out in front of Earl Allen, but read it carefully first, and it turned out that he really found something very interesting.

According to the content of the previously negotiated "Greenwich Agreement", Henry VIII's second son, the Duke of York, should be engaged to the Queen of Scots.

But somehow, in the agreement obtained by William Tudor, it did not clearly state that the Duke of York and the Queen of Scots were betrothed. The Queen of Scots is engaged."

It's worth having fun here.

After all, William Tudor and Princess Juana will rule England, Flanders, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

If Henry VIII really wanted to build a Tudor empire, it would undoubtedly be the most profitable operation to point Mary Stuart to his eldest grandson-provided that Princess Juana could give birth to a son as soon as possible.

It is estimated that after taking back Mary Stuart, William Tudor will face Henry VIII's plan to give birth.

However, from his personal point of view, he didn't want to put too much pressure on Princess Juana's childbirth. After all, one tenth of women in this era would die in childbirth, and it is more difficult to have a child as soon as possible.

They still wait for Princess Juana to be 17 years old and her pelvis is fully developed before having sex.

"Your Highness, is there anything that needs to be improved in this agreement?" Earl Allen looked at William Tudor's gaze intently, and thought there was something wrong with the content of the agreement, so he said with a glimmer of expectation: "It's better to postpone it temporarily." The signing time of the "Greenwich Agreement" is also for you to discuss more."

"No need." William Tudor spread the agreement in front of Earl Allen, then asked William Parr to bring pen and ink, raised his chin at Earl Allen, and ordered: "Sign it!"

"But Your Highness..." Earl Allen wanted to struggle for a while, but found William Parr standing behind him at some point, trying to control his right arm.

"There is no problem with the agreement. If you sign it earlier, you can go back sooner." William Tudor looked at the sky, thinking that he might not be able to return to London tonight, but...

"You go back early, maybe you can personally send the Queen of Scots to London."

When the Earl of Allen signed, William Tudor made a sudden noise, causing the latter's wrist to tremble, and almost left a long ink mark on the kraft paper.

"But at this time, the news that the Queen of Scots has fled abroad may have spread all over the streets and alleys." William Tudor had already had people watching the movements of Linlithgow Palace.

Marie de Guis would not have been able to have her daughter smuggled out of the palace if he hadn't deliberately relaxed the lockdown in Scotland.

It can be said that all this is a play designed by William Tudor.

And now, it's time to finish.

…………… I am the dividing line……………

Scotland, which has been baptized by gunfire, is almost like a ruin, with charred charcoal and numb faces along the road.

Cassie, dressed in disguise, walked deep and shallow in the mud softened by the rain, almost thinking that this was the land of hell, not the poor but full of life when she first married Marie de Guise. Scotland.

Because Mary de Guise did not trust the Earl of Arlen or the Earl of Angus, and she was not even sure whether George Douglas would sell her daughter halfway, so she arranged for the maid she brought from France to take advantage of the Taking her to Greenwich to negotiate, he smuggled Mary Stuart away.

Considering the little queen's age and delicateness, Casey could only act while she was asleep.

They specially found a large picnic basket, spread the best fabrics in it, made sure that the little queen could sleep warm and comfortable in it, and then sneaked out of the heavily guarded Linlithgow Palace while lunch was changing shifts , rushed to the original pick-up point, and finally transferred to the carriage to the port.

"The people arranged by the Duke will wait for you at the fish shop in the port, and then you will transfer from the Netherlands to Luxembourg on the cargo ship tonight." The French ambassador to Scotland wiped the cold sweat on the tip of his nose, and in the process of rushing Zhong kissed the cross on his chest, praying that everything will go well.

"Are you sure everything has been arranged properly?" Casey looked at his unsure look, and nervously grabbed the big basket in his hand - the young queen in it was sleeping extremely soundly, even snoring slightly .

The French ambassador to Scotland is a fat man. He felt that what happened on this day might shorten his life by ten years, so he must punish the Duke of Guise after he succeeds: "The people who are responsible for the response are all the people of the Duke. If you If you don’t trust the Duke of Guise, you can arrange everything yourself.”

Casey was taken aback by the ambassador's displeasure, so she laughed and said, "Aren't I worried about Her Majesty the Queen? After all, if you successfully send the Queen of Scots to France, you may even get the favor of King Francois." reward."

Long before Marie de Guise left for Greenwich, Cayce learned that the Duke of Guise intended to marry the Queen of Scots to the eldest grandson of King François, so she wanted to use this to encourage the French ambassador to Scotland to let him Can be more responsible.

"Is it a reward from His Majesty the King?" The ambassador looked at Casey suspiciously, and really didn't think that poor Scotland was worthy of King Francois's investment.

"She is not the rich Mary (here refers to Charles V's grandmother, Mary of Burgundy), will His Majesty still rule Scotland across the coast?"

The ambassador's merciless words made Casey blush and almost quarreled with the other party.

But at this moment, the galloping carriage stopped suddenly.

Both Casey and the ambassador thought they had arrived at their destination, so they got out of the car without much thought, and bumped into the heavily armed Earl Angus and a group of onlookers.

"Your Excellency, what are you going to do?" The ambassador is a man who has seen the world, so he quickly calmed down and pretended to be dissatisfied: "Could it be that I have not enjoyed the treatment that a diplomat should have, and even went out Are they all surrounded by you?"

Faced with the ambassador's questioning, Earl Angus just smiled, and then said loudly: "As the foreign minister, of course you have the right to operate in Scotland. It's just that I, as a member of the Scottish nobles, still have to avoid that you will not The person who should be taken away."

After all, Earl Angus looked at Casey, who bowed his head and said nothing, and made a "please" gesture: "Miss Catherine (Cathy is a nickname), do you want me to pick up Her Majesty in person, or do you follow us?" one trip."

Seeing this, the ambassador reflexively wanted to stop him, but the guards brought by Earl Angus immediately captured him.

"Mr. Ambassador, your smuggling of Her Majesty the Queen is a felony no matter which country you go to." Earl Angus ordered the French ambassador to Scotland to be taken down and sentenced him to death: "We will punish you for everything you have done. Tell King François exactly."

"I'm afraid those informants who are waiting in the Netherlands and Luxembourg will have to explain it to King Francois with the Duke of Guise."
