Chapter 5: The Duke of Norfolk

By the time they reached the palace, Edward and Elizabeth were already in the dust, and Baron Smith was still walking slowly through the wind and rain on his precious iron shield.

Of course! In the end, Elizabeth won, her horse was already an adult, and it was when she was fat and strong, and she was much faster than Edward's foal.

"Hey! Edward, Father, then please please! Princess Elizabeth proudly shook off her slightly curly blonde hair, held up the slightly convex buds, and walked triumphantly to her room.

Edward knew that this was the result, but it was just to make Elizabeth less rainy, and with a younger brother with an adult soul, shouldn't he take care of his sister?

As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, Lucy and Luna, who had served Edward since childhood, hurried to their side. Looking left and right, carefully observing, it seems to find something abnormal.

"That's it! Lucy, Luna, there's nothing wrong with me! Edward said helplessly.

"Your Highness! You haven't been sick since you were a child, only recently you've gotten better......" As soon as she talked about her illness, the slightly older Luna gushed about it.

Edward smiled bitterly in his heart, and covered his ears helplessly with his hands, and Lucy on the side blinked her eyelids mischievously and covered her ears.

Luna and Lucy are sisters, and their parents are serfs of the Tudor royal family, and because of their close age to Edward, they were recruited by His Majesty the King as Edward's handmaidens. Of course, being beautiful is only one of the reasons.

Luna is two years older than Edward and Lucy is one year older. Both have brown hair and dark blue watery eyes.

Ever since Edward was six years old, his barley-colored skin had gradually turned white, and his round thighs looked powerful, as a result of his regular work.

Luna is a point above Lucy and half a head above Edward. So as soon as Edward looked up, he saw Luna's chest shaking because of the words, and the girl's newly developed breasts were so big, like a small steamed bun, that Edward's heart unconsciously swayed.

Luna, who seemed to notice Edward's gaze on her chest, unconsciously shrank back, then straightened up again, looking at Edward defiantly.

"Hehe, if it weren't for the fact that my body hadn't developed yet, I would have wanted you to look good!" Edward reluctantly shifted his gaze, thinking angrily.

Luna couldn't help but be disappointed when she saw Edward look away, and despite her young age, she already knew that her family had to rely on Edward if she wanted to get rid of her serfdom status.

After looking away, Edward changed the subject, "Luna, how is His Majesty doing today?" ”

"Your Highness, His Majesty is in good condition today, but he is a little thirsty and sleepy, and he has just woken up!" Luna replied in a resentful tone.

"Alright! I'll go see my father," Edward walked to the king's bedroom, "oh! Don't forget to feed Arthur some barley and eggs, he did a lot today. ”

"Yes!" Luna and Lucy hurriedly saluted, only to see Edward walking at a brisk pace. By the time the two of them got up, Edward's shadow had long been gone.

The two sisters looked at each other, and with a 'poof' sound, they both burst out laughing, and the whole corridor echoed with this pleasant sound.

Walking straight to the bedroom, the long hallway is full of elegance and elegance.

The smooth floor was painted with brownish-red paint, a marine anti-corrosive paint, which was heavily painted on the floor, at least three times to Edward's eyes.

The walls are covered with various oil paintings, including those of God and his sons, as well as the armor drawings of the previous kings, all of which are particularly heroic.

When he came to the door of the master bedroom, he saw that it was Edward, and the doorman opened the door directly and let Edward in.

At this time, His Majesty the King was holding a Bible and looking at it, looking very religious.

Henry VIII was well educated from an early age, with the poet Skelton as his teacher, and at a later age he met and consulted Erasmus and some famous Renaissance figures. He knew Latin, French, Italian, some Spanish and Greek, loved poetry and music, and could compose and perform. In the early years of his reign, some of Henry VIII's actions show the influence of the new ideas of the Renaissance. He praised the erudite, vigorously attacking the decay of the Church and the ignorance of the clergy, the humanist Corrett as "my doctor."

Henry VIII was also very erudite, and his court was a center of academic and artistic innovation. He even wrote a book in Latin. The discovery of the Americas (New World) provided a new stage for Henry's innovative spirit, and he was the first European ruler to study global geography.

In his later years, Henry VIII was suspicious and suspicious, whether it was the emperors of ancient China or the kings of the West.

But His Majesty never doubted or reprimanded Edward.

Edward's arrival disturbed the king, and Henry VIII looked up to see that it was Edward, his angry expression turning into a happy look like snow. It's no wonder Elizabeth was jealous of him.

Henry VIII, who was lying on the bed, looked at his only son, and did not feel relaxed, and asked in a doting tone: "My dear little Edward, is there anything to find me?" ”

"Huh! Father, Isha is tired of playing with me today, so don't take etiquette classes in the evening! Edward couldn't stand the king's tone a little, like a child, even though he was a child at the moment.

"Okay, as long as you're happy!" King Henry said very softly.

"But, Edward! I've been getting worse lately, and you're up to the responsibilities of the Tudor royal family. The king's voice was slightly low, "God's mission to us shepherds is about to reach you!" ”

"Kid! I'm about to go to God! "You will be the king of England and Wales, and any stone that stands in your way will be kicked away." ”

Edward was stunned by King Henry's words, both surprised by the king's rapid collapse and surprised by the meaning of the king's murderous words.

It turns out that the king's words were not in vain, at the end of 1946 Henry VIII! Through a parliamentary decision to arrest Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, who had opposed the Reformation. Howard, set off another wave of purges of counter-reformers.

And Thomas, Duke of Norfolk. Howard is the leader of the conservative wing.

Thomas Howard (1473~1554), formerly known as Thomas Howard, was a famous nobleman during the reign of King Henry VIII of England. Son of the 2nd Duke of Norfolk. In 1513 he became Lord Chancellor of the Admiralty and assisted in the defeat of the Scots at the Battle of Floton. After succeeding to his father's ducal title in 1524, he spearheaded a factional struggle against Thomas Wolsey, then president of the Royal Council, and took his place in 1529. In 1533 he supported the marriage of his niece Anne Boleyn to Henry VIII, but in 1536 he presided over the trial of Anne. He skillfully suppressed the rebellion of the courtesy, and became the most powerful king's favorite around 1540. His position was weakened by the execution of his niece Catherine Howard in 1542 and the execution of his son Henry Howard (1517~1547) for treason. He was imprisoned on charges of complicity with his son, and was released by order of Queen Mary in 1553.

On the whole, he also deserved it, and he continued to do it, and his son was hanged for rebellion during the Elizabethan period.
