[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

Queen Juana also knows that she is a little neurotic these days

Among other things, the frequency of insomnia and awakening in the middle of the night has increased significantly.

Because William III had to deal with the diplomatic problems brought about by the marriage of the two princes, and the king's sudden fainting a few days ago, the whole Whitehall palace was tightened, so Queen Juana couldn't bear to disturb the tired Her husband had to sleep in a separate room with William III, so as not to disturb William III's rest by waking up in the middle of the night.

Johanna changed her clothes for Queen Juana, helped her mistress to bed without any explanation, and forced her to rest for a day.

"You are too tired to think about these irrelevant things." Johanna tucked the quilt for Queen Juana and comforted her: "You have also experienced the three kings (Charles V, Henry VIII and Francois) Wat I) stand together, countless suffering people. When you rest well, you will definitely think that everything in front of you is just a trivial matter."

As Johanna spoke, she patted Queen Juana's quilt lightly, just like she coaxed Queen Juana when she was a child, so that the latter's frowning brows relaxed.

After Queen Juana fell asleep, Johanna quietly left the queen's bedroom and met the Duke of Richmond outside the door.

"Is it convenient for mother to see guests?" The Duke of Richmond glanced at Johanna, knowing that now is not a good time to find Queen Juana.

"Perhaps you can tell me what you originally reported to Her Majesty the Queen." Johanna gestured softly, inviting the Duke of Richmond to the Queen's private living room.

"The Duke of Guise in France wants to attend my wedding with Mary." The Duke of Richmond said bluntly as soon as he entered the living room: "Mary really hopes that her relatives in France can come to bless her, but you also know that England and Guise The relationship with the Duke of Si is not so gratifying."

Johanna also knew that the Duke of Guise was quite an extreme Catholic, and the only ones that France could send to attend the wedding of the crown prince were the oldest families and Marshal Andre, who had outstanding military achievements.

The Duke of Guise is Mary Stuart's uncle, so by virtue of his kinship, he can be the top choice.

Just considering the catastrophe suffered by the Duke of Guise at the funeral of Enrique II and the religious position of England, Catherine de Medici, who was in charge of regent for the crown prince, was still hesitant, but she wrote very shrewdly The letter tested England's tone.

After all, it doesn't matter if the Duke of Guise's mouth is cheap and troublesome, the key is the peaceful relationship between France and England, and her youngest daughter Margot will not be treated coldly by England.

Although Catherine de Medici still needs the help of the Duke of Guise to stabilize the internal affairs of France, after Henry II withdrew from the power struggle, there is no need for the plastic alliance between Catherine de Medici and the Duke of Guise to continue to exist .

Even unceremoniously, Catherine de Medici reconciled with the Duke of Montmorency at a rocket speed after putting Henry II out of flames, and then wooed Prince Condé to fight against the Guise family and the military power Montmorency Group.

The Duke of Guise can also guess what kind of idea the Duke of Guise has.

It is nothing more than trying to win Scotland to stand in their struggle for power in France, and by the way pick a wave of England-Scotland relations.

I am afraid that the Duke of Guise at this time will also regret killing Mary de Guise so early, so that he has no way to get close to Mary Stuart.

"To be on the safe side, it would be most appropriate for Prince Condé to attend the wedding." Johanna didn't like the Duke of Guise, whose religious stance was too extreme, nor did she like Montmorant, who once forced Queen Juana to marry the Duke of Cleves. West Duke.

If she is forced to choose the most pleasing candidate among the suitable candidates, then Prince Condé, who believes in Calvinism, must be the most pleasing to the eye.

It's just that their preferences can't influence France's decision.

William III can't drive back all the French envoys who came all the way to attend the crown prince's wedding!

"If you want Prince Condé to attend the wedding, then you have to find something for the Duke of Guise." The Duke of Richmond guessed that Catherine de Medici didn't want the Duke of Guise to attend the wedding, so he hinted that the Duke of Guise Bian quickly came up with an idea, so that she would not have to act according to the face of the Duke of Guise in the future, and Princess Margot would also be implicated by the Duke of Guise.

Johanna frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly asked the Duke of Richmond, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"Of course." The Duke of Richmond also wanted to ask his mother's advice, so he came to visit at this time.

After all, Queen Juana is half French, so she must have more understanding of the French political situation and means of communication than William III.

"Who do you think the Duke of Guise is most afraid of in France after Henry II was injured?" The Duke of Richmond stared into Johanna's eyes, expressing his intentions without saying a word.

"Although Prince Condé is the leader of Protestantism in France, his qualifications are not enough to become the spiritual leader of the Huguenots." The Duke of Richmond was very sure: "Except for Le Princess Ni, no one can make the Duke of Guise stay in France regardless."

"And with the power of Catherine de' Medici, she will definitely be able to release the imprisoned Princess Renee in the name of the Crown Prince."
