Chapter 605: Henry VII Fails to Forge a Fake
After all, Henry VII found several skeletons of similar age and stature to pass off the bones of Edward V and Richard, Duke of York. And these two fake bones, Henry VII deliberately sent someone to throw them at the bottom of the Thames near the Tower of London in the middle of the night.
Then, the next day, someone was sent to pick up the two skeletons as if they had inadvertently picked them up......
Queen Elizabeth is also a ruthless character, she knows that these two bones are not her younger brothers, but for the sake of the future of her husband and her children, she directly pounced on her relatives and confessed to them, and insisted that they were her two poor younger brothers......
Because of Marin's incursions, it had a huge impact on European history. So, Queen Elizabeth did not die in 1503, but is still alive.
As the Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth knew very well that her two younger brothers had indeed been killed by her uncle Richard. However, the bodies of the two younger brothers are not known where they were hidden.
Now, his cousin Edward asks the Holy See to investigate the matter, accompanied by the French and the Scottish, to make Queen Elizabeth realize that if she does not handle it properly, her husband and children will become illegal.
Queen Elizabeth did not have any resentment towards her husband, Henry VII. After all, Henry VII killed Richard III, which was equivalent to avenging her two younger brothers. Moreover, Henry VII was indeed more popular with the English aristocracy than Richard III. Because, Richard III suppressed the aristocracy to the death, improved the rights and interests of the common people, and harmed the interests of those nobles. Therefore, Henry VII was able to seize the throne with a mere 5,000 mercenaries. Because, there were too many collusions with Henry VII in the imperial court.
But in any case, Queen Elizabeth is now the queen of England, and her children will also become the king of England in the future. As for the cousin, Earl of Warwick, Edward? How could her own son matter?
Therefore, knowing that the bones in front of him were not his two poor brothers, Queen Elizabeth was still possessed by the Oscar for Best Actress, and when she saw the bones, she pounced on them and shouted, "Brother, you died so miserably!" ”
On the side, the representatives sent by the Holy See and the representatives of France and Scotland were all full of black lines - Your Majesty, you didn't look at it and went up to recognize the two bones that were completely unclear as your younger brothers?
Then the representatives of France and Scotland questioned it. However, the English subjects on Henry VII's side insisted that it was Edward V and Richard, Duke of York......
Seeing that there was a stalemate above, the representative of the Holy See, Pastor Jeroni, spoke:
"Your Majesty, although these two bones remind His Majesty Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, who are eager to pass away, we still need to verify ......"
"Verify? How is it verified? "There's something strange about Henry VII. It's all dead and only bones are left, can it be verified? Do you want to be so evil?
However, Pastor Hironi really has a special way:
"That's right, this is a method of verifying the bones that has been passed down from the Eastern Chinese Empire, and it is very effective......"
"Huh? Is there such a way? Henry VII panicked. Because, these two bones must be fake. Moreover, he sent someone from other places to get it.
"Yes, the Orientals mentioned this method in a criminal investigation book hundreds of years ago. Specifically, the bones of the bones are steamed, and then, the immediate relatives of the bones are dripped blood onto the steamed bones, if the bones absorb blood, it is a relative, if it is not absorbed, then there is no blood relationship......"
"And this kind of statement? It can't be fake, right? Henry VII said nervously.
"If it's true or not, you'll find out if it's true!" Pastor Hironi affirmed.
"I will not allow you to touch the bones of my brothers, who are deceased kings and dukes, how can the bones be desecrated?" This is, Queen Elizabeth, who was crying on the side, suddenly said.
Henry VII couldn't help but give his wife a hundred likes in his heart, and his wife's statement couldn't be more appropriate. Moreover, as the sister of Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, it is only fitting that Queen Elizabeth should come out in this face. If Henry VII had proposed it, he might have been regarded as a weak-hearted person.
But Pastor Hironi was unmoved, and said lightly:
"Your Majesty, it's okay if you refuse to let us verify it. The report I have submitted to Rome, then, can only show that the two bones are unknown......"
The identity is unknown, which means that it is not certain that it is Edward V and Richard, Duke of York. Then, the charge of Henry VII's murder of the king cannot be cleared.
"But, according to the canon, we should not desecrate the bones of the dead...... said Henry VII with embarrassment.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty has approved this method to identify the bones. You know, Your Majesty, it would be embarrassing to think of two unrelated bones for His Majesty Edward V and Lord Richard, Duke of York. And God will blame ......," said Pastor Heroni with a smile.
"But how can you prove that what you said is accurate? What if it's fake? Henry VII retorted unrelentingly.
"Nothing, we can verify it with the bones of criminals!"
Criminals have no human rights, and after they die, their bones will be hung on the execution ground to scare the people. Therefore, their bones are the easiest to collect. Moreover, there is no one to blame for dismantling the bones of the dead criminals.
In order to stabilize the royal power, Henry VII killed many people over the years. Therefore, there is no shortage of bones near the execution site. Soon, the mission found the bones of the two robbers and traced their relatives.
Then, the robber, who had been dead for a long time, was pitifully bone-broken and put into a steamer to be steamed. After steaming, the bones were removed, and the coroner grabbed the hands of the criminal's parents or children, cut their fingers, and let their blood drip onto the bones......
Under everyone's attention, the blood was indeed absorbed by the bones......
I did several verifications in a row, and only one verification failed. As a result, an investigation revealed that the criminal was a wild seed born by his mother and a human fornication. Of course, the blood of his father's successor could not be fused with his son's bones......
After many public verifications, this method is effective. And Queen Elizabeth's blood is not a one-size-fits-all model, and it turns out that these two bones are not related to Queen Elizabeth......
Fortunately, Henry VII reacted quickly, saying that he might have found a mistake, and ordered the search to continue. Otherwise, he might be infamous as a monarch killer on the spot......
However, as long as the bones of Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, were not found, Henry VII could not prove his innocence for a day. Now, he still has the title of "Suspect of Killing Monarchs" on his head......
