Chapter 527: The Iberian Caliphate

……

At the time of the war between the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, the post-Umayyad dynasty, which occupied two-thirds of the Iberian Peninsula, began to officially begin its journey to unify the Iberian Peninsula.

The country of the Visigoths of the north is now left with only one dynasty and a poor little principality.

However, the sultan of the post-Umayyad dynasty did not immediately send troops to attack the small principality, but first took the Visigothic dynasty that occupied the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula.

After all, that small duchy was a nail planted in the Iberian Peninsula by the Holy Roman Empire, and there was no need for the Umayyad Sultan to destroy it.

It is easy to destroy the principality, but it is not good to attract the army of the Holy Roman Empire after the destruction of the principality.

The Holy Roman Empire is now considered a second-class empire in the eyes of the countries of the entire continent.

The Umayyad Sultan did not want to provoke him too soon, unless the later Umayyad Sultan found an ally who could contain the Holy Roman Empire.

However, allies are not something that can be found and found, especially since the only countries that can contain the Holy Roman Empire are the Chinese Empire in the north and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire in the northeast.

However, only the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire of the two countries had the potential to contain the Holy Roman Empire.

However, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire had a feud with the Umayyads, and most of the territory of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was seized by the Umayyads.

The current Abbasids are simply inheriting the legacy of the Umayyad dynasty, so it is impossible for the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire to ally with the later Umayyad dynasty.

So even in the current war between the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, the post-Umayyad sultans did not dare to try to provoke Charles, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

No one knew if the whole of Christendom would unite against his post-Umayyad dynasty under his provocation.

The sultan of the post-Umayyad dynasty was reluctant to try, and he did not dare to try, and he was not willing to set up opponents everywhere.

Today's YSL world is different from Christchurch, which now seems to be a juxtaposition of the two powers.

Orthodox Christianity, dominated by the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, and Catholicism, dominated by the Holy Roman Empire.

And whether it is the Eastern Roman-Byzantine Empire or the Holy Roman Empire, they all control the power of religion.

The Holy Roman Empire now controls the Pope and moves its capital to Milan in Lombardy.

From this it is clear what power Charles, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, now wields.

Although the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire was not the pope, he had more power than the pope.

He can manipulate the Pope and the Catholic Church and the people who believe in Catholicism, and his words are equivalent to the words of the Pope.

And the emperor of the Byzantine Empire of the Eastern Roman Empire, Basil. The same is true of Macedonia, whose status in the Orthodox Church is even higher than that of the Holy Roman Emperor's status in Catholicism.

After all, the Holy Roman Empire controlled the Pope and could dictate to the Catholic lords under his command.

And it is possible to issue orders to the bishops of various regions, but there are still some hard-nosed people who are unwilling to listen to Charles.

Why is this so, because Charlie is a traitor and a demon in the eyes of some Catholics.

What Charles is doing today is seen by some as a betrayal of God.

However, these people only dare to say it behind their backs, if it is in front of Charlie, I am afraid they will not dare to put a fart.

And the Eastern Roman Byzantine Emperor Basil. Macedonia was different, the Patriarch of Constantine of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was a vassal of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Emperor for generations.

The divine authority of the emperors of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was different from the divine authority of the Holy Roman Emperors.

As long as the heir of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was born in the Purple Palace, then he was born as the emperor of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

His rights were those of the Byzantine Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, not those given by anyone else.

On the contrary, the rights of the Patriarch of Constantine were given by the Byzantine Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire.

The Holy Roman Empire, on the other hand, had the right of the emperor to grant it to the Pope in addition to exercising feudal rights.

This makes it clear that there was a difference between the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire and the emperors of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

The difference between the Orthodox Patriarch and the Christian Pope can be seen even more, although it seems that the status of the Orthodox Patriarch and the Christian Pope is about the same.

But one of them is a courtier and the other is a monarch, and the difference is very big.

No matter how a courtier is, he is still a courtier, and even the Orthodox patriarch cannot secretly manipulate the change of emperors of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

The Catholic Pope, on the other hand, can even drive out a king, and he can even change the ruler of the kingdom.

That's why the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire is now holding the pope hostage.

If in the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, the Patriarch controlled the political situation, not to mention that the Roman Emperor would be like this, I am afraid that the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire Court Guard would be the first to destroy the Patriarch.

After all, in the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, the Praetorian Guard of the court was an important organization to control the change of emperors.

However, the YSL world is different, and the Abbasid caliphate of the Arab Abbasids has sunset.

Sultans in various places gradually formed divisions, and the Arab Abbasid caliphs were gradually becoming mascots.

What's more, the sultan of the post-Umayyad dynasty did not have the prestige and ability to call on the people of the YSL world to help him involve the Holy Roman Empire.

It's okay if the people of the YSL world don't kill him, how can they help him contain the Holy Roman Empire.

You must know that in the YSL world, the post-Umayyad sultan is the remnant of the previous dynasty, and everyone will be punished.

After all, as long as the post-Umayyad dynasty survived, the legitimacy of the Abbasids would be questioned.

Although there are countless people who tout that the Arab Abbasids were the most powerful empires in the YSL world.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is.

The Arab Abbasids had nothing to compare with the Arab Umayyad dynasty except for their domestic culture.

During the Umayyad period, the Arab Empire occupied the Persian region, the Iberian Peninsula in Europe, and the whole of the north.

The peninsula of Asia Minor and Sicily were also occupied by the Umayyad dynasty.

But what about the Arab Abbasids today? They occupy only half of North Africa, and the Iberian Peninsula does not belong to him.

And Egypt also listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement, and the Persian region will even bully the caliph from time to time.

Later, the Umayyad sultans also saw this opportunity, so they attacked the last Gothic dynasty.

This dynasty was soon overthrown by the post-Umayyad dynasty.

The post-Umayyad dynasty almost unified the Iberian Peninsula, except for the last small principality.

But this is not a big deal, and the sultan of the post-Umayyad dynasty was crowned caliph himself in León.

He called himself the Iberian Caliphate or the European Caliphate.
