Not to mention the surprised expression of Major Dio at that time, let's just say that a group of French officers who surrendered next to him also showed envy and even jealousy expressions.

At the moment, being able to become a nobleman is something that commoners dream of, and even if you are given a minister or mayor, it will not be changed.

Title, which means hereditary land and privileges, as long as you have children, then your family will always be a nobleman, born higher than those merchants, farmers, and craftsmen.

When a civilian encounters you, you are asked to bow humbly, and all you have to do is hold your head high and nod your head slightly.

After killing, you only need to pay the ransom, and you don't need to be punished.

It can be said that even if you become a knight, then you can have land and wealth that will be passed down from generation to generation.

If you're in England, then you'll find that having a knighthood is a reason to do anything.

I don't know how many times it has been said, since the War of the Red and White Roses in the last century, after the collective suicide of the nobles, the nobility of England has completely become vassals of the royal power.

At the beginning of Edward's reign, in addition to the new foreign nobles such as the Duke of Somerset and the Duke of Houghton, only one duke and nine earls remained of the hereditary high nobility.

What's even more exaggerated is that by Edward's time, there were only more than 200 knights left in the country, and you can imagine how many nobles and knights arose during the War of the Roses, and how many nobles were exterminated.

This was also the time when the nobles of the Tudor dynasty submitted to the king, and the power of the monarch was great.

And unlike the noble inheritance of the Europa continent.

The nobility of England generally comes first in inheritance, and if there is no male heir, then find one from the family, and your daughter will not inherit your fortune for a penny.

This is common among knights and barons, and it is also common among high-ranking nobles, and the king will force you to do it.

In addition, even if a woman inherits the title, it is customary that the title cannot be passed on to the next generation.

In other words, you can't inherit a title by marrying the daughter of a declining nobleman, or buy a title from a descendant of a declining nobleman, as is the case in Europa.

None of this is allowed in England, so if you are not a nobleman, then you will always be a commoner unless it is a canonization by His Majesty the King.

Therefore, the local gentlemen crowded into the House of Commons, and they regarded it as a place to change their fate.

In the time of the Stuart dynasty, the noble title of baron was invented, and the title began to be sold to merchants, and the merchants who received the title and the nobles who did business hooked up to become the new nobles in the history books, and together sent Charles I to the guillotine.

Without further ado, just in anticipation, Edward's first noble knighthood ceremony after inheriting the throne officially arrived.

On this day, the whole Palace of Westminster was bustling with activity, and the king's guards stood majestically around them in scarlet tunics and tall bearskin hats.

The various nobles and parliamentarians who participated in the ceremony also stood aside, discussing something with each other, and from time to time they swept their eyes at the few people standing in the middle, their eyes full of envy.

The Earl of Wellington was in the middle, and he was going to be made a Marquis this time.

On this occasion, as a marquis, he wore a red velvet coat with three rows of semi-mink on his hat and a silver ring with four gold leaves and four silver balls on his crown.

This dress belonged to the exclusive domain of the marquis, and ordinary nobles could not surpass it.

Standing behind the Earl of Wellington was Baron Smith, the king's most trusted courtier, and Edward's commendation was also to show other people who were interested in paying allegiance to the king, which was the benefit of doing things for the king.

He will be canonized as a viscount this time. The viscount was dressed in the same clothes as the count, except that the hat had two rows of half-mink fur, and a silver ring was added to the tiara, which was decorated with six silver balls.

Behind him, Major Dio wore a crimson velvet coat trimmed with white fur, two mink skins sewn into his soft hat, and a pale silver horizontal line on his crown with six small silver balls.

He was awarded the title of baron, which was the baron's garment.

And beside him, Major James was dressed as well, and he looked very excited.

While they were waiting, one of the guards shouted to the ministers and nobles: "By God's grace, His Majesty Edward VI, King of England, France, Scotland, and Ireland, Guardian of the Faith, Head of the Church of England and Ireland—"

With a long tail note, Edward walked out with a jeweled, castle-like crown, a purple cape, a short jacket, golden heels, and white stockings, looking imposing. (Actually, he feels terrible himself)

A big guy wears high heels, and that's it, he's got stockings, oh my God!

But he couldn't wear it, it was the king's traditional clothes, otherwise the nobles would have to talk about it.

"Good day! Your Majesty the King—" The nobles and parliamentarians bowed and said in a respectful voice.

"Up—" Seeing Edward nod, the guards on the side immediately shouted loudly.

"Bang bang bang bang - " Then a voice rang out.

After that, Edward ascended to the main stage in the middle, taking a seat with the Earl of Wellington and others.

Behind him, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York, plus the Duke of Houghton and the Earl of Southampton and other high-ranking nobles and high-ranking clergy, the scale looks grand and magnificent.

In this regard, the Earl of Wellington felt nothing, but Baron Smith, Major James, Major Theo and others were sweating on their backs, and their hearts were intertwined with nervousness and excitement, and they didn't know what to do.

"Earl Wellington—" Edward called softly.

The Earl of Wellington quickly stepped forward and half-knelt in front of Edward.

"The Earl of Wellington was valiant and not only captured the city of Huntington, but also led an army to take Edinburgh!" Edward read aloud, announcing his exploits to the nobles and ministers.

"In view of this, I make you the Marquess of Edinburgh!" Edward patted the Earl of Wellington on the shoulder with his sword and said in a loud voice.

Immediately, there was a round of applause and enthusiasm below.

To this, the Earl of Wellington raised his head, blushed, and swore in a thick voice:

"Under the witness of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I, my descendants, and those who inherit the title, remain loyal to you and your heirs, and remain unrepentant!"

Edward nodded in satisfaction, then lifted the new Marquis of Edinburgh to his feet as usual, took his arm, and said aloud to the nobles and ministers around him: "This is my true and most beloved companion!" ”
