Chapter 60: The Time for Revenge Has Come
Queen Mary, as the mother of the Queen of Scots, had to intrigue with the nobles every day, and she was so annoyed that she finally took a break, and the letter of England came.
For a Frenchman, she has been indoctrinated with the idea that English are bad ass since she was a child, and since becoming the queen of Scotland, her dislike for England has deepened.
Just like Vietnam has a China above China, a Soviet Union above China, and a neighbor who is stronger than itself, the whole country feels uneasy, especially a country that has been at war with its own country for a long time.
Thinking that she was coerced by the nobles to accept the conditions of England and let her precious daughter marry the son of a tyrant in England, the Queen Mother couldn't help frowning, and her good-looking face became vicious.
I finally had a daughter, and I would not give it to the son of a tyrant, and Queen Mary couldn't help but make up her mind.
Mariede Guise (born 22 November 1515 in Baldijk, Lorraine, d. 11 June 1560 at Edinburgh Castle) was the second queen of King James V of Scotland and the mother of Mary I, Queen of Scots.
Marie de Guise was the eldest daughter of Claude de Lorraine, Duke of Guise. On August 4, 1534, she married Louis de Orleans at the Louvre. The marriage between the two is very good. On October 30, 1535, their son Francis was born. In 1536 she attended the wedding of King James V of Scotland (her later husband) to the daughter of the King of France in Paris.
On June 9, 1537, her husband died, and she became a widow at the age of 21. On August 4 of the same year, her second son, Louis, was born.
And in July of the same year, the wife of James V of Scotland also died.
As a traditional ally of France, James V wanted to continue to maintain good relations with France through marriage.
So James sent a message to King François I of France through the King of England and his uncle, Henry VIII, to express his interest in Marie de Guise.
François I told Mary's father about James' proposal. At first, Marie was reluctant to marry because she did not want to leave France, and her second son died shortly after birth. But at her father's urging, she agreed.
On May 18, 1538, the two were married at Notre-Dame Cathedral. After the marriage, Mary had to leave her son in France. She was crowned Queen of Scotland on 22 February 1540. She had two sons, both of whom were young.
And on December 8, 1542, shortly after the birth of her daughter Mary, James died in his fifties, six days later, and Mary I, who was only six days old, became Queen of Scots.
And Henry VIII took advantage of the danger to force Scotland to submit to himself, so that Edward had a baby since he was a child, and he was still a girl five years younger than him.
"Go and ask James Hamilton, Earl of Allen!"
Currently, the regent of Scotland is James Hamilton, the second earl of Allen, who is the heir to the Scottish royal throne after the young Queen Mary, so with his prestige over the years, the position of regent is worthy of his name.
And Queen Mary is because of the French, although Scotland and France have been friends for generations, but wanting to fully integrate into Scotland and become the regent queen is no less than a fool's dream.
Soon, there was a sound of footsteps in the palace of Linlithgow, followed by the greeting of the maids, and Mary knew that it was the arrival of the Earl of Aaron.
Sure enough, a middle-aged man in his forties walked in, with curly black and yellow hair, a very thin face, and a faint beard at the corner of his mouth. The black coat is covered with a layer of red envelope underwear, and the feet are wearing black deerskin boots, coupled with white border lines, the whole person looks particularly imposing.
"My dear Lord Regent, you're finally here!" When Queen Mary saw the Earl, she couldn't help but make a sound, and she seemed confused about her daughter.
"My Queen Mother! What happened? It's so flustered for you! ”
"Dear Earl, here's how it ......"
"Now the Duke of Somerset, the regent of England, the Devil's Earl four years ago, wants my Mary to marry the son of that tyrant."
"I will never agree to this! What about your opinion? ”
"My Queen Mother! I think it's better to wait for the four major families to arrive, and then discuss it together! ”
When the regent heard this, he knew that it was a tricky matter, and he could not make a decision alone.
At the time, the whole of Scotland was controlled by four families: the Earls of Beaton, the Earls of Argyle, the Earls of Lennox, and the Hamilton families.
These four families have been the biggest obstacle to the Scottish king's grasp of power, and they also have a firm grip on Scottish power.
In less than an hour, almost all the people of the four major families arrived. Bishop Beaton, Archibald Campbell, Earl of Argyll V, and Adolf, Earl of Lannox. Lennox, plus Earl of Allen, James. Hamilton, the most powerful and powerful people in all of Scotland, have arrived.
"Gentlemen! Here's what happened...... "As regent, the Earl of Aaron first explained the reason to the others who came, and by the way passed the letters of England to the ministers to circulate in turn.
Within a few moments, the Scottish powerhouses were all in the know.
"Her Majesty the Queen Mother! Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think it is possible to agree with England, after all, the Greenwich Treaty was not ratified by Parliament, it is null and void! The Earl of Argyle was the first to speak, expressing his unmistaken opposition to the opinion coming from England, and for him, a native nobleman, his family's grievances with the English were too deep.
"I'm also against agreeing to a marriage with the English, after all, we're allied with the French, and we don't have to be afraid of those English wives!"
The Earl of Lennox was a pro-French faction and had confidence in Scotland's allies, the French, after all, England had lost the Hundred Years' War.
"Gentlemen! I still think we should discuss it carefully, and we don't like to repeat the war four years ago! ”
Bishop Beaton was a Protestant who had a high opinion of England, which was the beacon of Protestant countries at this time.
"I am also more in agreement with the refusal of the demands of the English, our Scotland must not be handed over to the English!"
Finally, the Lord Regent concluded the discussion with a loud summary.
Queen Mary, who was observing from the sidelines, also seemed very happy, and her daughter did not have to go far to England to suffer.
"So! Let's get ready for a war! It's time for our revenge! ”
Archbishop Beaton stayed aside, shaking his head incessantly, very emotional.
At this time, at Windsor Manor, King Edward received a letter from London.
