Chapter 257: The Inside Story of Title Succession

The Counts of Tuaron was the title of the Paskrit family, as in the Middle Ages their family's domain was the county of Tuaron, a county.

Of course Anna knew about it.

"Quentin has a wife named Ingrid, and she and Quentin have a daughter who is not yet a child. Originally, Ingrid's daughter was the first heir, but after Quentin's death, the Passrit family suddenly announced that Quentin also had a wife in his early years and a legitimate eldest daughter, who was the Alvin just mentioned, so Erwen became the first heir. ”

"Erwin becomes a countess, then according to the order of succession to the title, the next first heir is Elwin's cousin Zach Pacrit, and then Zack's eldest son, Ingrid's daughter has become very low in the order and is basically kicked out. ”

According to the tradition of Tyre, the succession of the nobility of Tyre is different from other countries that still have a royal family, the first child, both men and women, have the right of succession first, but the second is different, if it is a woman, the order is very low, and if the male, the order is lower than the eldest daughter.

After the eldest daughter becomes an earl, the rank of her descendants is also very low, and it is generally unlikely that she will inherit the title again.

Anna is the same, if she becomes a queen, her children will basically not inherit the throne, after Anna, it is Anna's younger brother who becomes the king of Tyre. Anna doesn't have a brother, and that's also a close relative of Anna's cousin or something.

Mainly because in ancient times, it was used to prevent nobles from becoming super lords through marriage, and then making them compete with the king.

In the Middle Ages, the royal family of the English Plantagenet dynasty (also known as the Anjou dynasty) came from the hereditary French territory of Count Anjou (Earldom), when the king of England was also the monarch of the Counts of Anjou, Normandy and Aquitaine, and once ruled a vast area from the Pyrenees to the Scottish borders.

As a result, the Counts of Anjou, the Duke of Normandy, and the Duke of Aquitaine all needed to be loyal to the King of France, but the King of England did not, and as a result, the King of England became a vassal of the King of France, and there was a lot of territorial crossing, and for various other reasons, the two countries were constantly in friction.

In the later years of the Plantagenet Dynasty, King Edward of England even competed with Filipe of France for the throne of France, and he was supported by many French nobles.

The end result was the well-known Hundred Years' War between England and France, and although France was losing at first, after more than a hundred years of war, they still won, and if they hadn't won, there would be no country like France now.

The Habsburgs once became a super-empire because of this.

It's far away, stop.

Now Tyre is a constitutional monarchy, and the king is also a symbol, without actual power, of course it is not needed, but the tradition remains.

"This is Christine, who is led by Quentin's mother, Quentin himself, and Zach. ”

Anna continued: "Let's start with Quentin's wife, Ingrid, who comes from the Italian family of Foyeto, a family of knights. ”

The knight family is not the kind of knighthood, it is the kind of family that still retains the training of knights, that is, the transcendent family, in ancient times, they were the most elite warriors under the pope and lord, and they were basically canonized as knights.

"The Foyeto family is very strong, but they don't have money, while the Paskrit family is richer, and commercially, they are one of the top ten families in Tyre. ”

"The relationship between Ingrid and Quentin is not very good, mainly because Ingrid is more towards the Foyeto family, and the old Foyeto family is used to suppress Quentin. If Ingrid's daughter is made an earl, then the Foyeto family will inevitably control the Paskrit family through this niece. ”

Quentin and Christine also had conflicts with Zach, but they didn't want the Paskrit family to be controlled by outsiders. If the Paskrit family is controlled by the Foyeto family, then the Foyeto family will be fattened, and the Pascrit family will inevitably decline. ”

So, they agreed to let Alvin inherit the title of count, the head of the Paskrit family, but the two wives couldn't talk about it, so Quentin died before announcing it. ”

If Quentin had announced before he died, he would have fallen into the whirlpool of two wives, but the lover would have said something, just straighten out the illegitimate daughter, and not have to consider the lover's factor.

"The problem at the moment is that there is no figure of Countess Erwen until now, and no one has ever seen her, Ingrid does not admit it, and still recommends her daughter to inherit the Earldom, and the two sides are in a stalemate, which is more complicated. ”

"Well, Christine and Zach are just looking for a puppet. ”

Ling Tian knew clearly as soon as he heard it, this matter was really not simple, Christine and Zach were looking for Zhao Wen to be puppets and kick the Ingrid and Foyeto families out.

And Zhao Wen's father also took the opportunity to straighten Zhao Wen and Zhao Xiaolan before he died.

That's it, Ingrid is also using her daughter as a puppet to benefit her family, a common routine in aristocratic circles. ”

Anna looked at Ling Tian in front of the screen and asked with a smile, "Honey, why are you asking this?"

"A friend. Ling Tian touched his nose and decided to confess honestly.

Anna was already with her hands on her hips, and the corners of her mouth were sneering.

"Well, I know that Elwen, don't get me wrong, Anna baby. Ling Tian said, "My wife's assistant, you know." ”

"Oh!"

Anna remembered the kitchen knife and washboard of the Chinese housewife, and no matter how much Ling Tian put his heart into it, he didn't dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step, so he didn't bother about it anymore.

"Are you going to help her?" asked Anna meaningfully.

"When I ask you this, I'm helping her, it's her business, she makes decisions. "Ling Tian is telling the truth, and the decision is in Zhao Wen's hands.

The next day, Ling Tian and Zhao Wen had a phone call and talked about it.

"Brother Ling Tian, thank you, I'll just say that they don't have a good heart, they want me to be a puppet, and there is no door, so let that Ingrid's daughter be the earl. Zhao Wen is very resolute, she is a smart girl, so she will not let herself get involved in such meaningless things, and deliberately run to a place where she is not familiar with life, she will lose control of her life.

Ling Tian didn't say anything more, Zhao Wen not only had no feelings for the Passrite family, but also complained, the rise and fall of the other party's family, it was difficult for Zhao Wen to be interested.

What's more, now Zhao Wen is running wildly on the road to the female gold collar, just like she said, she is doing well and is full of confidence in the future, this is everything she is familiar with.
