Eight years have passed since Mary, Queen of Scots, was "invited" to London, and the original little Lori has grown into a slim fourteen-year-old girl.

His Majesty the young Edward, who had already been engaged to her, was now just a wedding.

Although the age of fourteen is a bit young, according to the standards of twelve women and fourteen men according to the medieval church, it is quite rich.

Not to mention, Edward's grandfather, Henry VII's mother, gave birth to Henry VII at the age of thirteen, although the consequences were somewhat powerful, that is, infertility.

Now it seems that this regulation is considered early marriage today, but in that era of underdeveloped medical and health care, the survival rate of babies itself was low, and many mothers died in childbirth, and secondly, when children reached the age of more than ten years, it was the age of frequent accidents.

Therefore, it is not easy to become a true adult after the age of eighteen.

Of course, Edward was not so cruel to destroy a fourteen-year-old girl, at least sixteen!

Some children of aristocratic families are engaged before they are born, but when they are actually married, they must be of a certain age.

In Germanic law, there were early prohibitions against marriage between close relatives, as well as marriage to married women and children of other social classes.

The Church clearly prohibits marriages within four generations (originally seven).

In order to maintain the purity of their bloodline and better protect their property, the nobles had to spend a lot of gold to bribe the church to get it to approve.

Later, consanguineous marriage became a valid reason for the Church to approve the couple's divorce, and it was for this reason that King Louis VII of France divorced Eleanor, the "Mother of Europe".

However, although England does not explicitly prohibit the marriage of close relatives, there is already an awareness of this aspect in British tradition.

Of course, in the eyes of the English, as long as they are not from the same family, they are not considered close relatives, and all close relatives such as cousins and cousins are still popular.

And let's sort out the relationship between Edward and Queen Mary to see if they are close relatives married.

Queen Mary's grandmother, Princess Mary, is the sister of Henry VIII and Edward's aunt, so Edward is Mary's cousin.

Forehead! When I didn't say, go on and probably be in harmony.

On December 8, 1555, it began to rain in the early morning of London, but the streets of London were still full of people.

Groups of Guardsmen in red and black jackets, with guns on their shoulders and daggers at their waists, raised their heads and looked ahead to stop the eager and excited crowd of Londoners.

Today marks the wedding of His Majesty King Edward VI of England to Her Majesty Mary, Queen of Scots.

All the citizens of London, and the Scottish people who had come all the way to London, were dressed in new clothes and ready to meet the carriage from the two kings.

Not only that, but businessmen from France, Spain, Germany and other European regions also came to see the wedding of the century with their own eyes.

It's not bad to say it's the wedding of the century.

The wedding would mark the union of the two kingdoms, and Scotland and England would officially become the United Kingdom with the marriage of the two kings.

At Whitehall Palace, Queen Mary changed into a white shirt, a white dress, a white wreath on her head, and a long white veil covered with a long white veil, holding a white bouquet and her long hair fluttering.

The faint red makeup on her face made her originally immature face look a little mature.

The English people worship the color white, which symbolizes the purity of love and good luck. The custom of wearing a veil dates back to the 10th century B.C., when women wore wedding dresses in the valley of the Two Rivers and later developed into white veils, which were increasingly available in sizes throughout Europe.

On the side, Queen Mother Mary was wearing a pale green dress, and her face, which had been calm, was now full of smiles, and she couldn't stop looking at her daughter, and she could see that she was very happy.

"My daughter, my Mary, is married today, and you are the most beautiful bride in the world!"

In the face of her mother's praise, Mary, who had a more naughty personality, couldn't help but be a little shy, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look into her mother's eyes.

"Haha! My Mary is shy! Queen Mary teased her daughter softly, then looked at her and said earnestly.

"Mary, from today onwards, you will be someone else's wife, and you can't continue to be willful!"

Listening to her mother's earnest words, Mary disagreed, pursed her lips, and said:

"Mom, don't worry, Edward won't scold me, and I'm never willful!"

In this regard, Queen Mother Mary shook her head, no longer spoke, but combed Mary's long red hair, and her eyes showed a faint sadness.

"From now on, Mary will never belong to me alone!"

"Her Majesty the Queen Mother, Her Majesty the Queen, the time has come!"

Casey, the maid on the side, rubbed her sour eyes and said.

"Alright, let's go!" Mary then went downstairs to meet with Edward.

The young king also wore a gown and a crown today, and looked particularly heroic.

After seeing Mary go downstairs, he took Mary's left hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and then boarded the carriage.

The carriage was pulled by eight horses, and its appearance was black and gold, and there were countless gilts and jewels on the surface, which made it look extraordinarily luxurious.

In front of the carriage, the young guards rode tall horses to lead the way, and the guards on the side of the road also worked extremely hard to intercept the crowded crowd, and the scene was extremely lively.

The road leading from Whitehall Palace to Westminster Palace has been covered with a red carpet sprinkled with flowers and horse-drawn carriages moving slowly.

Sitting in the carriage, through the thick curtains, Edward could still hear the cheers outside the carriage.

"Long live Your Majesty!" "Long live the Queen!" "Long live the King!" "Long live !!" ……

"Listen, Mary, all the citizens of London are blessing us?"

Edward took Mary's left hand, which felt soft and slippery, as if it had no bones, and he put his mouth to her ear and whispered.

"Yes!!" Mary's ears felt Edward's hot air, and she twisted her neck a little unaccustomedly, and nodded her head with a coquettish sound.

"Wait for the teacher to follow the teaching, don't be nervous!" Edward looked at her white jade neck, swallowed his saliva, and whispered.

"Got it, Edward!" Mary looked up and said impatiently, "I'm so smart, how can I be nervous?" Joke! ”

Immediately, the girl Mary stuck out her pink tongue and said in a coquettish voice.
