At last, Edward and the maiden Mary had finished all the ceremonies, and they stood side by side, surrounded by hundreds of Scottish and English nobles, ministers, ambassadors to England, and religious figures of their own prestige.
At this time, the young king and the young queen look so compatible, perfectly matched, a natural pair, this is the emotion in everyone's hearts.
Everyone knows that Scotland and England have been rivals for hundreds of years, and at this moment, the queen married England, then, at the same time, it is also announced that Britain and the Soviet Union will be dominated by England, and the two countries will be temporarily combined.
But no one except the English wanted them to become a United Kingdom, Spain, like Aragon and Castile.
Including the ambassadors of Spain and France, although they had faint smiles on their faces, they had already cursed their mothers in their hearts, cursing the couple for an early divorce, and the United Kingdom was scattered.
In this regard, Edward also knew very well that although he signed a treaty with the Scottish Parliament to form the United Kingdom, it was all based on his marriage to Mary, and if the two divorced, the United Kingdom would naturally be dissolved.
With a crown on his head, Edward felt that his head was a little heavy, and he didn't know what those kings thought, all kinds of gems were piling up, and if he was weak, he would not be exhausted to death!
And Mary on the side also moved her neck slightly, and the crown on her head was also very heavy, which was the ancestral crown of Scotland.
The two of them stood solemnly by the altar, looking like they had something to say.
The nobles and important ministers who were concerned about this stood up one after another, and the ambassadors also pricked up their ears, not daring to let go of this important moment.
"Everyone!" Edward glanced at it, his eyes were bright, his voice was crisp and loud, and with the sound amplification effect specially built by Westminster Abbey, everyone could hear it clearly.
"Today is a gratifying day, and under the watchful eye of my Lord and in your presence, I, Edward VI, King of England and Ireland, Prince of Wales, and King of France, will be married to Mary I, Queen of Scots!"
When he said the word France, the French ambassador had a black face and a very unhappy expression.
But Edward ignored him and said to himself.
"And I hereby declare that Scotland will be formally united with England, Wales, and Ireland into a united, united kingdom ruled by me and Queen Mary!"
"And the name of the United Kingdom will be called the Kingdom of Britain."
"I and Queen Mary's heirs will inherit this vast kingdom and never disintegrate!"
As soon as Edward's voice fell, there was an uproar below, the sound of discussion was endless, and the excited laughter, angry roars, and unwilling sighs formed a different kind of symphony under Edward's nose.
What's even more interesting is that the reaction of the Scottish nobles, even though the agreement had already been signed, and the announcement so far, still shocked them, as if they were dead parents, with pale faces, chapped lips, and blank eyes, like the walking dead.
And here, Spain's face has long lost its smile, and it has become a little gloomy and dignified.
The French ambassador on the other side had an impatient look on his face, an expression of disbelief, and his mouth was wide open in disbelief.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, do you agree with this matter in your heart?" The French ambassador suddenly saluted Queen Mary, then stared into her eyes and asked in a loud voice.
As the ambassador spoke, the nobles of England and Scotland next to him accused him, and for a while, the voices condemning him for disrespecting the two kings were endless.
However, the ambassador was not afraid, and looked at Queen Mary in a daze.
Edward pressed his hand, gave the ambassador a deep look, and then stopped the commotion.
Then, he looked at the girl beside him and smiled.
The maiden looked up at Edward, smiled sweetly back, and then said to the French ambassador:
"Mr. Ambassador, your actions are very offensive, but I still answer your questions!"
As soon as her voice came out, it attracted everyone's attention, but she was not afraid, and said loudly and crisply:
"Of course, that's what I mean, the establishment of the Kingdom of Britain, I've always agreed!"
Then Queen Mary's voice fell, and the entire auditorium was silent for an instant, and this small opportunity was extinguished, which shocked everyone's hearts.
The next day, the proposal for the establishment of the United Kingdom was passed in the House of Lords, and in the afternoon, the House of Commons was also passed, and the Central of England announced its accession to the Kingdom of Britain.
On the third day, local authorities in Wales passed a proposal to join the United Kingdom.
On the fourth day, the controlled Irish Parliament passed a proposal in Dublin, and the Governor of Ireland announced Ireland's accession to the United Kingdom.
On the fifth day, the Scottish Parliament passed a proposal to join the Kingdom of Britain, announced by the current Regent, Earl Argyle.
In less than five days, a newborn Kingdom of Britain was born, a kingdom of about 320,000 square kilometers in the British Isles.
Thus was the birth of the Kingdom of Britain, with a total population of about 4 million people.
Of course, on the sixth day, Calais, the "French Parliament" announced that "France" had joined the United Kingdom.
…………
France, Royal Palace.
"Boom-" There was a loud bang, and a porcelain from the East, actually from Venice, was smashed to pieces by Henry II.
"I'm, at me!" Henry II was furious, and he threw everything around him desperately, including tables, chairs, benches, and everything that came into his sight.
The maids stood trembling aside, bowing their heads, not daring to make a rash move.
"Damn English barbarians, it is shameless to have established the United Kingdom, snatched my son's crown princess, and announced that France would join the Kingdom of Britain!"
"What qualifications does he have to represent France, what qualifications does he have!"
…………
Spain. Palace.
Charles V sat in his chair, his eyes closed, listening to his palace minister tell the story of what happened in London a while ago, and Prince Philip stood beside him.
When he heard that the Kingdom of Britain was established, he suddenly opened his eyes and startled the palace minister.
"Your Majesty—" said the palace minister tremblingly.
"I didn't expect that this little king still has this ability, it's really eye-opening for me!"
"Yes, father, after that trip to London, I already feel that this young king of England is better than his father, and his means are good!"
"Yes! You know, then he's up to you, barely an enemy! ”
"Father, you?"
