After the arrival of emissaries from France and other powers, Maximilian I asked if the Pope would help him crown two thrones, one for the Holy Roman Empire and the other for the Byzantine Empire.

This is so because of the last Byzantine emperor, Andres. Palaiogalos had broken away from Orthodox Christianity and converted to Catholicism. According to the rules, the emperor of a Catholic country should be crowned by the Pope of Rome. Because, before Maximilian I openly united Andrés. The transfer of the throne carried out by Palaiogalos was not universally recognized by European countries. The Holy See, although verbally supported at the time, did not hold a coronation ceremony for Maximilian I. Therefore, the countries did not recognize this money-bought throne. Therefore, Maximilian I hoped that Julius II would help to crown him twice this time, so that he would wear two crowns at once.

However, when the envoys of France and other countries learned about it, they expressed strong opposition. France and other countries believe that there is no problem with the coronation of Maximilian I as Emperor of the HRE in accordance with the traditions of the Holy Roman Empire. However, the coronation as Byzantine emperor is very problematic. Because, the Byzantine capital of Constantinople was in the hands of the infidels, and the coronation as Byzantine emperor was a pure joke. If Maximilian I really wanted to be crowned Emperor of Byzantium, he should have sent troops to take Constantinople and crown him there.

In addition to the strong opposition of France, the envoys of the Grand Duchy of Moscow also expressed strong opposition. The representative of the Grand Duchy of Moscow believes that Andres. Palaiogallos had no children, and even if he abdicated, the throne would fall to the head of Vasily III, the son of his sister Princess Sophia. Moreover, Vasily III was an Orthodox monarch, and the monarchs of the Byzantine Empire were always Orthodox and never held the position of Catholic. And the bishops of the Orthodox Church have always supported Vasily III as the new Eastern Roman Emperor......

However, this is Rome, the stronghold of Catholicism. For Maozi's statement, everyone scoffed. After all, the current Maozi is not the European roller of later. At the moment, Maozi is still just a grand duchi. Even, being pressed and beaten by Poland and Lithuania, where does it have any right to speak?

Eventually, the monarchs and envoys of Europe unanimously decided that they would recognize Maximilian I as King of Greece. But to become Byzantine emperor, it was necessary to take Constantinople and be crowned in Constantinople. Otherwise, it will not be recognized......

……

Marin sighed, but also understood the thoughts of the countries. Isn't it a public outrage that Maximilian I is already about to be crowned the only emperor of Europe, and wants to be crowned a second emperor?

People can't get a single throne, so if you make two of them all at once, it will definitely make people jealous and jealous!

Of course, France and other countries were very lacking in morality, and they did not deny Maximilian I and Andrés in the end. Palaiogallos deal, and recognized Maximilian I as king of Greece.

Why? This was by no means for the good of Maximilian I, but for the sake of pitting him. Who is Greece currently in its hands? In the hands of Turkey!

And Turkey currently has the strength to crush any country in Europe, after all, people can pull out tens of thousands of cavalry at will. If you really want to mobilize, it is okay to have an army of more than 100,000 people. The Turks occupied Constantinople and Greece, and Maximilian I, the Greek king, was meaningless.

If it were an ordinary prince like Marin, everyone might not be willing to admit that he had been given a throne. But for Maximilian I, who was about to be crowned emperor, an empty throne did not make much sense. After all, there is a better throne.

And everyone unanimously expressed their position to ask Maximilian I to be crowned emperor there after taking Constantinople, in fact, to encourage the Habsburgs to attack Turkey.

And is Turkey easy to mess with? It's very hard to mess with. So, everyone is pit Maximilian I. Of course, Maximilian I was also an old fox and would not be fooled. However, the Greek king is hereditary. Perhaps, his son and grandson will be fooled? If they are flattened by Turkey, France and other countries will have a chance to cut the flesh from the Habsburgs......

……

Looking at the sinister and smiling envoys of various countries, Marin's eyes flashed......

"Coronation in Constantinople? If I get the throne of the king of Greece and send troops to take Constantinople...... "Marin is also up in YY......

The throne was in the hands of Maximilian I, and Marin was not a good idea. After all, Maximilian I, no matter how kind he was, was still an old fox. But when Maximilian I died, Philip or Charles came to the throne. Why did he run for the title of Emperor of the HRE, he had to seek support. When the time comes, maybe the Greek throne will be replaced. Then, find a way to seize Constantinople yourself. Anyway, the envoys of various countries said that whoever could take Constantinople and be crowned there would be recognized...... Marin didn't dare to finish abusing the Turks, but it was still possible to take Constantinople and hold it for a while. When the time comes, after the hasty coronation in Constantinople, it was announced that the coronation would be changed in the future...... Hey......

So, at the instigation of Marin, Maximilian I signed a treaty with his envoys, the Roman Convention......

The treaty stipulates that the Byzantine Empire has converted to Catholicism and is considered a Catholic state, and Moscow's so-called claim is null and void (this point, the Catholic countries are still united).

To become Byzantine emperor, he had to take the throne of Greece and be crowned in Hagia Sophia in Constantinople by the Pope himself, or the Pope would send a cardinal to Hagia Sophia to crown him......

Only if the above requirements are met, will everyone recognize his status as an Eastern Roman Emperor. Otherwise, one can only be called a Greek king......

……

Seeing this pact fall into words, Marin smiled. It may be difficult to occupy Constantinople for a long time, but by sneaking up on Constantinople for a while, Marin is still confident. With this convention written in black and white, there is no fear of countries defaulting on their debts in the future. Anyway, there is no mention of the need for a permanent occupation of Constantinople...... Moreover, it is not mentioned that after officially becoming the Eastern Roman Emperor, he was not allowed to change places for coronation......

Playing with words, Marin can throw off the people of this era for eight streets......

……

After signing the Rome Convention, everyone could finally sit down and watch the coronation of Maximilian I.

Needless to say, the coronation ceremony was grandiose, after all, this is the only emperor in Europe at present. After wearing the crown, Maximilian I was in good spirits and exuded the aura of a king's eight all over his body......

As a courtier, Marin naturally stepped forward to congratulate and half-knelt to swear allegiance...... And this ceremony is one of the important reasons why many monarchs are reluctant to come...... In the face of the only emperor in Europe, the princes of the HRE had to swear allegiance. Even the monarchs of other countries need to bow down to show respect......

Therefore, in addition to the German princes, who had good relations with the emperor, other princes, including foreign monarchs, sent courtiers to congratulate them. Those diplomats, who were not as good as the monarch anyway, were nothing for them to salute Maximilian I. If Louis XII, the king of France, had come to pay homage to Maximilian I, he would have died of depression. Therefore, France simply sent an aide-de-camp of the foreign secretary. This thing is just a baron, and it is not a loss for him to salute Maximilian I......

……

After the coronation of Maximilian I, Julius II also issued a special edict, announcing the award of Marin, who helped him conquer Siena, canonizing him as a "warrior of the Holy Spirit", and Michelangelo carved a statue and erected it on the edge of the Temple Square of the Lateran as a reward......

This reward really caused a sensation. After all, the title "Holy Spirit Warrior" has never appeared before. Therefore, everyone discussed it one after another. Moreover, it is a very high honor to erect a statue on the edge of the Temple Square in Lateran. Generally speaking, those who can erect statues in the square of a holy place such as the Lateran Basilica are those who have been canonized as "saints" and are qualified to be the patron saints of a country. For example, St. George in England.

Although Marin was not canonized as a saint, it was also a very high honor to erect a statue in the center of the Holy See, which caused the envy of many people. In the midst of the exchange of words, Julius II sent the priest who read the edict to deliberately lower his voice and read out the right to authorize Marin to "conquer the wild continent and spread the 'glory of Christ' in the wild continent". Sure enough, because everyone was attracted by the previous content, and the newly crowned emperor Maximilian I was the shining protagonist, no one noticed the last sentence......
