[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

Undoubtedly, the birth of the second prince made everyone dumbfounded, so that some conspirators exaggerated that this was William III's special means to resolve the dispute between the two countries, but as soon as this rumor came out, it was met with utter disapproval. Puncture mercilessly.

Because no matter how dissatisfied William III was with Belgium's pressing step by step, it was impossible for him to make fun of his wife and children at such an important moment.

We must know that the mortality rate of adolescents in the 16th century remained high, so whether it is William III or Queen Juana, who is worried about the danger of childbearing, will seek more heirs to the throne at a certain point.

After hearing this, Enrique II did not show too much disappointment. Instead, he borrowed two experienced midwives from Calais and asked them to rush to meet Queen Juana on the boat and the newborn baby. prince.

"All this is God's will." Enrique II, who got the news, sat in front of Marguerite's hospital bed in Angoulême, and together with his wife, prayed for their daughter and newborn grandson: "Those Although the Belgian nobles were dissatisfied, no one expected that Juana would give birth on a ship, so according to the division of the sea, the birthplace of this child is still England."

"It's as if they are not the princes of Belgium." Margaret of Angoulême coughed lightly, and then smiled slyly at her husband: "God's will always works exceptionally well at this moment, but Are Juana and the baby okay? A ship is not a place to give birth, and Juana is too young to take such risks."

"Don't worry, the King of England has arranged an experienced nanny in Juana's entourage, and the midwives of Flanders are also rushing to the port. They are all the people Mary of England asked for help. Anna left any sequelae." Enrique II saw his wife in great pain, so he mixed an anesthetic into the warm drinking water, and then swallowed it with Margaret of Angoulême.

Relying on the calming effect of the potion, Marguerite of Angoulême finally felt a little more comfortable in her oppressed internal organs, so she subconsciously wanted to drink more, but was stopped by Enrique II.

"Juana named her second child after the king of England, but considering that he had the same name as his father, Juana called him Guillaume." Enrique II asked the maid to bring the potion and The water glasses were put away, trying to divert the subject from Marguerite of Angoulême's desire for tranquilizers.

"Guillaume? William in French." Margaret of Angoulême said with great interest, "What's his full name?"

"William Enrique Tudor." Enrique II also had a smile on his face: "Juana used my name as a middle name, but..."

Thinking of the conflict between the eldest son and the second son, and the fact that the child was given the names of his father and grandfather, Enrique II couldn't feel relieved.

Marguerite of Angoulême could only hold Enrique II's hand comfortingly, and pretended to be relaxed: "Maybe this little Enrique can welcome his Marguerite."

"Don't talk nonsense, you will be fine." Enrique II knew that Margaret of Angoulême was thinking wildly again, so he pressed her forehead and comforted: "I have found the person who was killed by the Pope and Gal Servetus, who Wen expelled, must have a way to prolong your life."

Margaret of Angoulême just shook her head helplessly when she heard the words, and she didn't want her husband to continue to worry about her illness: "This is God's will, maybe God wants me to witness Guillaume's death. Only my birth will prolong my life, and now... I have also reached the moment when I am called by God."

"Enrique, please hand over all my jewels to Juana after my death, and ask her to hand them over to Guillaume's wife someday in the future." Margaery of Angoulême Te weakly said: "The second son is the shadow of living under the pressure of the eldest son. I hope he can be like you, wait for Margaret to make him happy, and then live a carefree life."

"This is also the last thing a frail grandmother can do for him."

Enrique II hugged Marguerite of Angoulême tightly, and at the stubborn insistence of his wife, he agreed to her request.

Then on the third day after Queen Juana rushed back to Belgium, Marguerite of Angoulême died in Gravensteen Castle in Belgium, living a few months longer than in history.

After that, in memory of the king's sister, Henry II decided to name his next daughter Marguerite de Valois, in honor of his aunt, Marguerite of Angouleme. Greetings.

…………… I am the dividing line………………

In the autumn of 1550, well-prepared Philip II tore up the "Treaty of Crebi" signed by Spain and France in 1544, reached a consensus with Ferdinand I of Austria, and his uncle and nephew marched towards Italy in two ways.

First Ferdinand I of Austria invaded the duchies of Venice and Milan, and then sent to Geneva to strike a deal with the uncrowned Protestant Pope John Calvin to secure Switzerland's neutrality in the Italian wars.

In view of the fact that France and Venice jointly defeated the Swiss coalition forces in the Battle of Marigrano in 1515, even though John Calvin deliberately favored his mother country, he still maintained his neutral policy under the oppression of anti-French people.

As far as France is concerned, Switzerland is also a buffer zone between them and Austria, so after Ferdinand I dispatched the envoy, Henry II also revealed that he would undoubtedly invade Switzerland, so the Geneva Alliance temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s just that before Geneva’s long breath, the Spanish navy landed in the Republic of Genoa, and with the support of enough knowledgeable Genoese bankers, it marched towards the Principality of Savoy and the Counties of Burgundy, with the intention of marching towards the Republic of Fidia. With the support of Nan I, these two territories lost in the "Treaty of Cambrai" were fully recovered.

For Henry II, who hated Spain, this was no less than a bolt from the blue.

After all, the Principality of Savoy and the Earl of Burgundy have always been major taxpayers in France because of their natural geographical advantages, and even once contracted most of France's income in the southeast.

Not to mention that the Duchy of Savoy is the territory of Henry II's grandmother's family.

If it was really easy for the Spaniards to take it away, then Henry II could be said to have lost all face at the beginning of his accession to the throne.

For this reason, as soon as Henry II got the news, he dispatched the Duke of Montmorency, who suppressed the uprising against the salt tax in Aquitaine, to deploy troops to support the garrison of the Earl of Burgundy and prevent Feidi Nan I's army continued to invade the Duchy of Burgundy near Paris.

"Where is Francois?" Henry II, who was thrown out of bed by the war in the middle of the night, radiated his anger to every corner of Chenonceau Castle: "There is also Marshal Andre and the Duke of Vendôme, they All should be held accountable for the sudden Spanish invasion."

Diane de Poitiers, who served the king, hastily adjusted the clothes for Henry II, and then motioned to his maids to greet several important ministers who were called into the palace, reminding them how bad the king was in the mood.

Henry II, who was waiting in the living room, also calmed down his anxiety caused by the war through a series of questioning.

He asked his valet to bring a glass of mulled wine mixed with mint, cinnamon, and cloves, hoping to maintain good energy during the urgent meeting of the night.

And Diane de Poitiers, who followed him, did not forget to rub Henry II's back to help the king calm down the rising anger.

"How are the queen and the children?" Henry II casually asked his wife and children who were far away in the Louvre before the ministers entered the palace.

Because once the Austrian army invaded the Principality of Burgundy, Henry II had to consider moving his wife and children to a safer area.

"Also, is there any movement in England?" The current situation reminded Henry II of the war in the Netherlands.

Although France passed that battle, it not only regained the lost Principality of Savoy and the Earl of Burgundy, but even divided up the Duchy of Luxembourg in the Netherlands, the Earl of Limburg, and the Diocese of Liege.

Although England and Enrique II also got what they wanted in that battle, compared with France's gains, it is still not in a hurry.

Henry II was not afraid of the Habsburg family provoking war again, but he was afraid that he would be attacked by England and Spain.

Although William III concluded a treaty with Henry II to jointly resist Spain at the beginning of his accession to the throne, it was a short-term alliance reached before Charles V abdicated, so both William III and Henry II Treating a contract as fart, ready to break the contract at any time.

The Duke of Montmorency, who arrived first, hadn't breathed out his breath yet, so he wanted to answer Henry II's question: "There have been movements in Calais, but it's not about rectifying military affairs, but about the relationship with Flanders. The connection between the two has become closer than ever.”

Speaking of this, the Duke of Montmorency carefully looked at Henry II. This kind of look at the child made the king who was over [-] years old feel more irritable, and even his tone was a little offended.

"Say what you have to say, don't cover it up."

"I just received news that Queen Juana of Belgium gave birth to a son while crossing the English Channel, and your aunt, Marguerite of Angoulême, has been confirmed to have passed away, so Belgium and Flanders On Si's side, there will be no possibility of sending troops for the time being."

The Duke of Montmorency was suddenly tempted to thank Marguerite of Angoulême for having died so timely that Belgium and Flanders were not involved.

After all, England's family background is far less rich than the other two countries, and William III is a young man who has never experienced war, so he will consider more carefully whether to send troops at this moment.

Hearing this, Henry II breathed a sigh of relief, and then increased his troops to the invaded Principality of Savoy and the Counties of Burgundy, and decided to settle a settlement with the Spaniards.
