Chapter 1076: Fake Pregnancy
As Mbappe said, if John. Stuart and Queen Margaret really have a child, then, this child is eligible to inherit the Scottish throne. Even if it is a girl, her son has a chance to inherit the Scottish throne.
Regardless of John. Whether Stewart was the murderer of James IV or not, he was a member of the royal family of the Stuart dynasty of Scotland, and he was a child of a royal family close by blood. His legitimate son is certainly entitled to inherit the throne.
Even Julius II felt that the problem was very difficult. Because, as the spiritual leader of Europe, the pope himself does not have strong strength, and can only rely on rules to oppress people, but not on strength. And John. Stewart's heir to the Scottish throne was clearly in line with the rules. Therefore, Julius II also found it difficult to deal with it.
At this time, Marin stood up and retorted:
"John. Stewart was the convict of the murder of His Majesty James IV, and his heirs should not have the right to inherit. If so, isn't Europe in a mess? If His Majesty Louis XII's brother murdered him, his brother's heirs will also inherit the throne? In this way, wouldn't the European royal family fall into a bloody storm? Isn't it true that we all have to live in fear? ”
Marin's words resonated with many people. Indeed, if the sons of the kingkillers inherit the throne in the same order, then won't everyone be busy killing kings in the future? Anyway, it's a big deal to hang up yourself, but your son will still inherit the throne......
Mbappe glanced at Marin coldly and said:
"Grand Duke Marin, watch your words, the great king of the Kingdom of France, you can't joke about it!" Just now, Marin casually took Louis XII as an example, and it was a negative example, which really offended Louis XII.
Marin shrugged indifferently and said:
"Well, I apologize. However, what I said is not coarse, and it is indeed such a truth! ”
Mbappe thought for a moment and said:
"Even if you make sense, John. . . Duke Stewart was not necessarily the sinner who murdered James IV. As far as I know, the result of the investigation at the time was that there was neither evidence that it was the hand of the English, nor that it was John. Stewart's hand. Moreover, at that time, John. Duke Stewart has been imprisoned. If there was enough evidence, he would have been hanged as a murderer! Therefore, there is no evidence that it was John, Stewart, who murdered His Majesty James IV! ”
"No, I heard that at that time, John. . . Stewart was about to be convicted, but Queen Margaret, relying on the Scottish Janissaries in her hands, forced Prime Minister Alex to release John. Stewart, and also offered to marry him...... It is said that it was these two men who hooked up and then murdered James IV with malicious intentions......" Marin retorted.
"What about the evidence? What about the evidence? As long as there is no ironclad evidence to show that it is John. Stewart murdered His Majesty James IV, and his heir is eligible to inherit the Scottish throne! Mbappe insisted.
"Who knows if Margaret's woman is pregnant or not, how long have they been married......" Marlin muttered.
Hearing this, Mbappe's face suddenly tightened, and then returned to normal in an instant. But this scene happened to be seen by Marin......
"Could it be that Margaret's pregnancy is fake?" Marin guessed.
……
Marlin really guessed correctly, Margaret's pregnancy was indeed fake.
In September, Queen Margaret took a fishing boat and made a big circle across the Atlantic, and finally escaped to France. When she arrived in Paris, Louis XII asked her:
"What can you bring me?"
Margaret replied:
"I am the only bloodline of the Tudor dynasty in England, and with me, you can find the remnants of the Tudor dynasty in England and launch an uprising against Edward!"
But Louis XII shook his head and said:
"I'm afraid this doesn't mean much......"
It turned out that Edward's booby-trapped Tudor remnants in London had reached the ears of Louis XII as Jones and other leaders fled to France. Today, the remnants of the Tudor dynasty have suffered so much that they can no longer organize large-scale uprisings. Therefore, the use value of Margaret has shrunk greatly.
Seeing that she was about to be sent away by Louis XII, Marguerite, who was unwilling, suddenly had a magical idea......
"Your Majesty, in addition to being the sole heir to the Tudor dynasty of England, I have also been two queens of Scotland......"
"So what? Both Scottish kings are dead, and you have left any children with them. Louis XII was a little impatient, and planned to throw Marguerite, who was of little use, to some country village, and let her be a stable little landlady.
"Who said there are no children? No, I'm with John. Stewart has children......" Queen Margaret smiled mysteriously.
Louis XII looked at Marguerite in surprise and asked:
"Are you pregnant?"
Margaret and John. Stewart had only been married for two months. Stewart was killed by the English army. So, Margaret talked to John. It is unlikely that Stewart has a child in spite of her, only that Margaret is pregnant.
But Margaret smiled mysteriously and said:
"Your Majesty, I can get pregnant......"
"What do you mean? Can you get pregnant? Louis XII didn't quite understand.
Margaret explains:
"I fled to France, who knows if I'm pregnant? When the time comes, Your Majesty, you can find a child of about the same age, and just say that I was pregnant and gave birth to it. Stewart's children. In this way, the child became the rightful heir to the Kingdom of Scotland. And the Kingdom of France, in the name of this child, can order the Scots to prevent the English from successfully annexing the Kingdom of Scotland......"
"Great idea!" Louis XII slapped his thigh excitedly. Then, he glanced at Margaret with deep meaning, and said in his heart - this woman is not simple......
With this fabricated "Prince of Scotland" in his hands, and Margaret herself a little messing with the value of England, Louis XII decided to treat Marguerite, a woman of great use, well......
……
This matter was originally a French secret. But Mbappe happened to be involved in the matter, so he knows the truth. When Marin casually guessed the truth, Mbappe's face changed, and Marin was suspicious......
So, Marin said loudly:
"Margaret and John. How long has Stewart been married? Who knew if her pregnancy was real or fake? You France won't just find a child, pretend to be the Prince of Scotland, and then cause trouble for His Majesty Edward, right? ”
A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Mbappe's face, but he retorted:
"How so? We are the great kingdom of France, a responsible power, don't fool ......" said in the end, Mbappe himself has no confidence......
Marin smiled, then turned to Julius II and said:
"In that case, Your Holiness Pope, send a delegation to France to see for yourself if Queen Margaret is really pregnant......
Mbappe was a little flustered, but he still insisted on saying:
"Go and go, whoever is afraid ......"
But at the same time, he was thinking - should he find a pregnant woman to pretend to be Queen Margaret?
Marin seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile:
"By the way, I heard that the oil paintings of Henry VII's family in the Tower of London were created by the original English court painters. When the team of the Holy See asked whether Queen Marguerite was really pregnant, they could bring these paintings as a reference, so as not to find a pregnant woman in France to pretend to be Queen Marguerite......"
Mbappe's face suddenly changed greatly, but he still insisted on saying:
"Casual ...... ...... casually."
