[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

The consummation night of the Duke of Richmond and Mary Stuart naturally touched the hearts of countless people.

After Queen Juana gave Mary Stuart a sip of her special drink, she asked everyone to leave the room so that the couple would not be unable to complete the important task of the night.

"Your Majesty, according to the usual practice, someone should be in the house to ensure that the Duke of Richmond and the Queen of Scots consummated the marriage smoothly." After Queen Juana closed the door, an old nobleman said with embarrassment: "Do you want to go inside the house?" Send an experienced woman..."

"Why send so many people? Young people are thin-skinned. If they are interrupted at a critical moment, who will take responsibility?" Queen Juana glanced at the nobleman and said bluntly: "Can you take responsibility? "

"..." The nobleman fell silent immediately.

After all, cutting off children is much more serious than cutting off people's money.

Moreover, Queen Juana did not receive on-site guidance for the consummation of the house, so Mary Stuart did not have to suffer this crime.

"Okay, the Archbishop, the core members of the Privy Council and I will stay here to ensure that the Duke of Richmond and the Queen of Scots can consummate the marriage smoothly, and the rest will go back first!"

Ghent Castle is no better than Whitehall Palace, even the crown prince's bedroom can't accommodate so many people staying here overnight, so Queen Juana drove away some unimportant nobles to avoid the stench in the house.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to warm you a glass of wine?" Johanna asked Queen Juana softly after the nobles who were watching had left for more than half.

Although Queen Juana was to oversee the consummation of the Duke of Richmond and Mary Stuart, she did not have to sit here all night with so many people present.

"Hot up some wine for the bishop and the adults!" Queen Juana is considered a relatively young existence here, so it's no big deal to stay up all night.

On the contrary, bishops who are over [-] years old and some old nobles with gray sideburns will not be able to bear the pain of staying up late, so they need a glass of mulled wine to comfort their bodies and minds.

Queen Juana does not believe that her son is different from ordinary people and exists with a golden gun, so they will leave after three or four hours. After all, the queen will not give herself a day off just because her son wants to complete a lifelong event .

"The only thing I'm grateful for is that when Guillaume and Margot consummated the house, I didn't have to sit outside the door until midnight." Queen Juana took a sip of warm wine from Johanna's hand, and no one else could hear her. The voice complained to Johanna: "Did you know that when William and I consummated our marriage, there were also people who tried to tell us what to do in the room."

"Then how did His Majesty deal with it?" Johanna used her body to block the sight of the nobles in the same room, and teased Queen Juana: "You won't be the one who directly slaps those old antiques and even Henry VIII like today. !"

You must know that compared with Queen Juana at this time, Henry VIII, who married four wives in order to have a son and caused countless conflicts, is undoubtedly a more difficult existence.

Queen Juana coughed in embarrassment, and answered Johanna's question in a low voice after a long silence.

"Not because William told Henry VIII that he couldn't get hard when someone was in the room."

"..." Johanna never expected that Queen Juana's answer would be so direct and simple, so that after a brief loss of speech, she actually felt that there was nothing wrong with William III's answer.

After all, the problem lies with William III, and Henry VIII can't blame Queen Juana.

Besides men!Especially a man of such high position and power as William III, more or less has arrogance engraved in his bones and obsession with privacy.

In the words of William III, he didn't want to be surrounded by wild dogs to watch the important night of his life, so Henry VIII accepted his son's little awkwardness very smoothly, leaving Queen Juana and William III relatively ample private space.

"My God! When will they end?" Queen Juana listened to the movement in the bedroom, took another sip of wine to avoid embarrassment, and looked at the expressions of the nobles present.

The archbishop took out the "Bible" to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere, while the other nobles in the room were also pretending to do their own things, trying to keep their eyes on places other than the door.

Time passed by bit by bit in the dull atmosphere.

When Mary Stuart awoke the next day, the Duke of Richmond had left the room to report to Queen Juana on the night before.

"What do you think?" Queen Juana really didn't want to talk to her son about his first night with his wife, but William III was not here, so she had to take the responsibility of asking, and Johanna on the side asked the mother and son His answers were recorded in a book so that when Mary Stuart became pregnant, there would be traces.

"Very good." Even when talking to his mother about the process of consummating his house, the Duke of Richmond still had a serious attitude that undoubtedly added: "Mary is very cooperative and everything is going well. I followed Mr. Cardano's request, All necessary steps have been completed."

"Really?" Queen Juana also didn't think her son would have male problems, so after chatting with the Duke of Richmond about some irrelevant details, she ended the conversation that made both mother and son deeply uncomfortable.

"By the way, your father sent a letter, saying that he wants you to stay with Mary in the Duchy of Lorraine for a while..." Queen Juana handed the letter with the Tudor rose to the Duke of Richmond, reminding him that he must communicate with the newly appointed Duke of Lorraine. Duke Lin made a good relationship.

"Your father and I are not sure when Princess Mary will die. Whether the Duchy of Lorraine is still willing to remain neutral or favor England." Queen Juana stared into her son's eyes, letting him understand the seriousness of the matter: "After all, before Princess Marie married to the Duchy of Lorraine, the relationship between France and the Duchy of Lorraine was so strong that René II could pledge his second son's allegiance to Francois I."

"I understand what you mean." The Duke of Richmond was not hopelessly naive.

At least he didn't believe that his cousin Lorraine, whom he had never met, would have brotherly feelings for him.

That's so fake.

………………… I am the dividing line……………

"Have Mary Stuart and Alexander consummated?" William III finally stretched his frowning eyebrows after receiving a letter from Belgium: "I hope God and the Virgin will bless them, so that England, Belgium, and the crown of Scotland shall pass on."

Richard Cromwell carefully packed the letter from Belgium.Because after the king has reviewed the consummation records of the Duke of Richmond and Mary Stuart, there will be a court doctor and clerk to review and record in the party.

The lineage of every member of the royal family is beyond doubt.

William III never thought that he would be a grandfather before he was forty, but this was indeed a very normal thing in the sixteenth century.

"Maybe I'm really old." William III suddenly let out a misleading exclamation.

Richard Cromwell on the side thought that there was something wrong with the king's physical condition, so he said very nervously: "Your Majesty, do you need a court doctor to perform bloodletting treatment for you?"

"Huh? I'm in good health, why do I need bloodletting treatment?" William III felt a little puzzled and said: "Compared with bloodletting treatment, I want to know how far Mr. Michel (Servet's pseudonym)'s research has gone. stage."

William III remembered that Servetus had only obtained permission from him to dissect the corpse not long ago.

In far away Spain, a Belgian medical scientist named Andre Vesalius has written a masterpiece of anatomy called "Human Mechanism" based on his personal experience and the manuscripts of the ancient Greek anatomist Galen. .

It is precisely because of this "shocking" masterpiece that many years later Andre Vesalius was honored as "the father of modern anatomy" and was persecuted by the church - just because he dissected In the masterpiece of science, it compares the bones of human beings and various animals, and then declares that men and women have the same number of ribs. It is not like the Bible says that men are born with one less rib than women.

Undoubtedly, the behavior of Andre Vesalius was enough to cause him to be burned a hundred times by the church, but because of his superb skills, he not only served as the personal doctor of Charles V and Philip II, but also served as the personal doctor of King Charles V and Philip II. After the Prince of Sturias fell from the stairs and suffered a fatal head injury, he was able to perform a head piercing operation for him. Under the shocked eyes of countless people, the Prince of Asturias was saved life.

So the Church of Rome really can't do anything to Andre Vesalius for a while.

After all, Philip II was also afraid of death, and Andre Vesalius was undoubtedly the best doctor in Spain.

Faced with such a rare talent, William III inevitably had the idea of ​​​​taking Andre Vesalius under his command.However, considering the Holy See's "perverted" obsession with Andre Vesalius, William III simply gave up this difficult wish, and instead used various channels to obtain the security for Cardano and Servetus. The masterpiece of Andre Vesalius—that is, the banned "The Mechanism of the Human Body".

"He's really a genius no less than Galen." Although Servetus was three years younger than Andre Vesalius, he was Andre Vesalius' student when he was studying in Italy.

Regrettably, he did not get along with this anatomy teacher for too long, and was hunted down by the Pope of Rome and the Pope of Geneva because of the secret publication of "Christian Revival".

"I really shouldn't express my theological opinions before finishing my studies." Servetus, who has read "The Mechanism of the Human Body", said with great regret: "If I can work with Teacher Vesalius for a few years, maybe I can make it faster." Understand the structure of the heart and the process of the pulmonary circulation."
