[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown
Chapter 121
William III is not a lively person, especially during the reign of Henry VIII, he was forced to endure too much "lively", so Queen Juana very thoughtfully changed the banquet celebrating the coronation of the king and queen to the lake. While fishing and having a picnic, it also reduced the size of the traditional tournament.
In this way, unnecessary expenses are not only reduced, but also the noise that William III does not like is avoided.
"Remember to ask the cook to cook small meals, and make sure there are no large roasts at the banquet. And those that are not served, and those that are not cooked, meat, cereals, and alcohol are strictly guarded. Etc After the banquet is over, it can be distributed to the poor nearby, as well as the homeless in London.” The busiest thing in the coronation month is the new Queen of England.
Therefore, in the past few days, Miss Elizabeth has been following Queen Juana and Princess Mary to learn how to handle various procedures of the banquet and how to save money in details.
After all, the degree of poverty in Scotland ranks among the highest in Europe.
James V's several wars were all maintained by his wife's dowry, so Miss Elizabeth's compulsory course these days is financial management.
"How much can I save on food?" Miss Elizabeth asked while recording the details of Queen Juana's affairs.
"If you calculate carefully, you can save 15 to [-] pounds." Queen Juana estimated that William III and her coronation would cost at least [-] pounds, plus Henry VIII's funeral, and free wine and meat provided to the whole country kind.
Just the plain bill made Queen Juana dizzy, not to mention the private rewards and small tips, plus and minus, there are also sixty to seventy thousand pounds.
"Your expenses these days are completely comparable to a neutral war." Princess Mary, who came to help, also said helplessly: "Is it necessary to do it so grandly?"
"This is all necessary pomp." Queen Juana insisted: "The new king's ascension to the throne is the most vulnerable moment for the country. A luxurious coronation ceremony can show the true strength of England to the whole of Europe, and at the same time avoid people Take advantage of the chaos to invade, or the big nobles in the country neglect the new king."
After all, Queen Juana added: "However, some small expenses that cannot create long-term value can still be saved. After all, England has not left much savings due to various wars in the past few years. Over there... you have to take it easy."
Princess Mary kept nodding when she heard this, because she had heard from Catherine of Aragon about some of Henry VIII's actions at the beginning of his accession to the throne.
Whether it is the execution of Henry VII's important ministers and the Duke of Buckingham, or holding a grand banquet, it is actually showing the new king's control and courage to the subjects of England and even foreign monarchs.
In Europe right now, the youngest king is William III who has just ascended the throne.
Although relying on the support of Enrique II of Belgium and the Principality of Lorraine, William III and Queen Juana don't have to worry about facing a large-scale war at the beginning of their ascension, but Henry VIII previously maintained that England, France, And Spain's "Iron Triangle Monarch Balance", but it was shattered.
The only thing that made Queen Juana feel lucky was that less than three months after the death of Henry VIII, King Francois of France also died.
In this way, two sides of the original Iron Triangle King collapsed, so England could use this opportunity to negotiate with France to prevent the Spanish Emperor, the only one who was still standing among the Iron Triangle Kings, from taking the opportunity to start a war.
"Speaking of which, William has asked someone to sort out Liz's dowry in the past few days. It is estimated that you will marry Liz to Scotland in less than a year." Queen Juana looked at Miss Elizabeth, who was almost 14 years old, with some Can't bear to say: "When King Francois died, William worried that the newly appointed Henry II would reuse the Duke of Guise and the Duke of Montmorency, so someone must suppress the comeback Marie de Guise."
"I'm not worried about the Earl of Angus, because his deep hatred with France cannot be settled in a short while, and the last thing he wants to carve up is the Regency of Scotland, so the Duke of Guise and Monmor The Duke of Rancy will not try to bribe him." Queen Juana knew that Princess Mary didn't like the Duke of Guise, so she didn't hide anything from her sister-in-law—after all, Princess Marie's father-in-law, "good old man Antoine "When he died three years ago, the Duke of Guise, relying on his uncle's status, wanted to intervene in the affairs of the Principality of Lorraine.
Fortunately, although the newly appointed Duke of Lorraine is weak and sick, his character is not cowardly.In addition, Princess Mary is a relatively strong woman, and she has always supported her husband to get rid of the suppression of the Duke of Guise.Therefore, under the influence of his wife, Franz de Lorraine, the new Duke of Lorraine who succeeded in renewing his life, strongly rejected the Duke of Guise's "good intentions".
This is also the main reason why Princess Mary wants to improve her natal relationship in the near future.
Because the Principality of Lorraine and England have achieved each other.
As long as the throne of William III is still secure, Princess Mary will not worry that anyone will covet the titles of her husband and son.
Similarly, as long as the status of the Duke of Lorraine is not threatened by side branches, the Duke of Guise and even France must be cautious when starting a war.
After all, behind the Principality of Lorraine is either a subsidiary territory of England or the natal family of Queen Juana. It can be said that it is backed by resources and is not panic at all.
"In contrast, the most likely to be bought by the Duke of Guise is the vacillating Earl of Arun." Queen Juana, Princess Mary, and Miss Elizabeth strolled by the tranquil lake, behind him who deliberately helped them create a conversation The guards of the environment, so the winking guests did not approach here.
"The Earl of Allen is not only the regent appointed by James V, but also the first heir to Mary Stuart before she got married. William and his father have always deliberately excluded the Earl of Allen from Mary Stuart's Apart from the regent team, they even want to control it, so Liz, your task is very important." Queen Juana held Miss Elizabeth's hand tightly, and said every word: "I need you, and William needs you too, England I need you more."
"So Liz, are you ready to go to Scotland?"
Facing Queen Juana's request, Miss Elizabeth solemnly said: "I will always be loyal to England."
…………… I am the dividing line……………
Chinon Castle in France in 1547.
Catherine de' Medici, who was promoted to queen, walked away with crisp steps, and the maids who followed her with their heads bowed far away.
Because François I had not been buried yet, Catherine de' Medici did not change out of her tightly wrapped mourning dress, and let her black skirt roll out on the clean floor, like a witch's train. The medicine stove made people feel a chilling air rushing towards them.
"Your Majesty, the letter from Italy has arrived." Catherine de' Medici, who returned to the dormitory, told all the irrelevant maids to get out, then closed the door, and let her confidant help untangle the fiasco. Skull jewelry.
The death of Francis I was not all good news for Catherine de' Medici.
Although the old king of France died, the former crown princess automatically became the most noble woman in the court, but the French court is different from England, and the existence of the royal mistress is like another shadow of the queen.Relying on the king's scepter, they forcibly divided the queen's power.Even under special circumstances, the queen of France is not as powerful as the royal mistress.
If Catherine de' Medici could have met a clean husband, her marriage would not have to be full of intrigue and grievances.
However, you cannot expect the king of France, who is naturally romantic, to live with a woman.
Especially before the newly appointed Henry II married Catherine de Medici, he had already fallen in love with Francois I's old mistress, his tutor Diane de Poitiers.
Before Francois I's face was hindered, Henry II could not stick to Diane de Poitiers, so Catherine de' Medici still retained some of the dignity of his wife.
But now, what dignity does Catherine de' Medici talk about when she is queen?
As soon as the old king died, Diane de Poitiers moved to Henry II's bedroom in a fair manner, and even replaced Catherine de Medici to meet the princes and nobles who came to the old king's funeral.
If it hadn't been for the French royal tailors who had come to measure Catherine de' Medici's figure a few days ago, and rushed to make her coronation dress.I am afraid that this Italian descendant of the Medici will suspect that he will be driven out of the palace by Henry II.
After all, once her protector Clement VII and her half-brother Alessandro de Medici died, Catherine de Medici became the most worthless person in the French court. lady.
As for Cosimo I, who inherited the Medici property... How well can you expect a collateral duke who married a Spanish wife to Catherine de' Medici?
Catherine de' Medici felt a splitting headache at the thought of the predicament she faced.Her confidant maid Daisy put the snuff bottle to the queen's lips, and loosened the tight waist for the queen. Catherine de' Medici let out a little breath, and then opened the letter from Italy.
"Does Cosimo I want me to die?" After reading the letter, Catherine de' Medici lit it on the oil lamp, and then sneered, "It's really a good dog raised in Spain, and he is not afraid The Romans hang him on the wall."
Catherine de' Medici knew that Cosimo I wanted to be duke of Tuscany very much, so after succeeding to the throne, she maintained a "good" relationship with the new pope and Spain.
But for Catherine de' Medici, who had experienced the tragedy of Rome and was almost raped by Spanish soldiers, Cosimo I, who had shown favor to Charles V, was an undisputed traitor to the Medici.
The irony is that she has to maintain a "good" relationship with this traitor if she wants to keep her position as Queen of France.
In this way, unnecessary expenses are not only reduced, but also the noise that William III does not like is avoided.
"Remember to ask the cook to cook small meals, and make sure there are no large roasts at the banquet.
