CondesaconsortedeBarcelona; Ect”

(Donna Isabella, by the grace of God, to Castile (Queen), Lion, Pomegranate, Toledo, Spain, Seville, Córdoba, Murcia, Corsica, Sardinia, Gibraltar, Grace, Canary Islands and West Indies and archipelago spouses, etc.; In the name of the queen in Aragon, Sicily, Jerusalem, consort、... Condesa, Barcelona, Valencia, etc.; )

Ferdinand read the names of Isabella's entire titles, feeling a little anxious......

"So what's my full name...... I don't know ...... myself."

"Does it matter?" Reading Isabella's full name so seriously made the latter feel uncomfortable.

"When writing an edict, you will use ...... Let me guess what your edict will be...... Well, I don't dare to think about it......" Ferdinand knew the contents of Isabella's edict and had seen the photos, but he didn't want to remember it anymore, it was too sad......

“…… In my will, I absolutely ask you to promise not to continue (historical facts). ”

It is a historical fact that you made such a request. I took the oath on the spot, which is also a historical fact. Then I launched the "October Revolution", which is even more historical. Had I not misjudged the situation, and tried to marry Juana at first (not Ferdinand's second daughter, God knows who her father was), just like the revolutionary mentor in July 1917, I would have remarried two or three months earlier......

But after the slander, Ferdinand still said seriously

——

"I, Don Ferdinand, by the grace of God, am King of Aragon...... A solemn oath is made...... No longer united with a second woman...... You're satisfied......"

——

"Allow me to spend my heart, okay?"

……

"I've read a lot of history books, and I know those heroes who are always merciful...... As long as he has me in his heart......"

……

——

Regarding certain lines in some novels, Ferdinand said the following:

F—U—C—K!

For Isabella's request on her deathbed, Ferdinand said a hundred thumbs up! This is the performance that a normal heroine should have, some heroines are like being poured into ecstasy soup! No, ecstasy soup does not have that kind of magical effect, only aphrodisiac can exert such an effect. Ferdinand knew such a starting point author, he wrote novels, he was really not afraid of setbacks, not afraid of river crabs, superb skills, and a god! So much so that the author of this book idolizes him in all aspects, and even advertises in people's book review areas, but he disagrees with one of his characteristics-

"What if I pick up my own girl, the river crab is not defeated by Nima" Ferdinand said, buddy, I am the lord of Latin America, and if you want to get Nima from me, you can't even go up to the Andes......

So he made a decisive oath, and in this way officially completed his self-redemption in an environment where "every new novel has the potential to fall into a stallion". Isabella's request was so good that it completely cut off all chances of becoming Ferdinand's traverser stallion, how about you if you don't swear? The original owner swore an oath, you don't swear, are you human? If you break your oath, you're a human being, but you're a scumbag......

So everything has gains and losses, in 1492, crossed to Ferdinand II, was the best time-traveler, the wife was upside down, the pope was strong, the Americas were in the arms, the destiny was clear, Manuel was your double son-in-law, and Louis XII was your defeated. Government affairs are represented by his wife, he can rest assured that he has a science and technology tree, all kinds of resources are available, and there is no need to worry about any external threats, the Ottomans will be swept into the dustbin of history after all, France As mentioned earlier, the Dutch are still Flemish, England is currying favor with you, the United States...... Be a sacred and inseparable part of your country in no time!

But there's a prerequisite for getting that – let go of the mare!

"Well, tomorrow the council will officially declare you the co-queen of Aragon......"

Speaking of this Aragonese parliament, it is really a very pit pit king pit country, Spain was one of the first countries to have a parliament, of course, the first to have a parliament was Iceland. The Council of the Kingdom of León in 1188 is considered to be the beginning of the history of popular participation in parliament in medieval Europe.

But Aragon's parliament was too powerful compared to neighboring Castile.

The power of the King of Castile was so great that the parliaments of all the constituent states, including the Council of Castile, had only an advisory function. The power of the king of Aragon was relatively small, and even if he wanted to govern in his own kingdom of Aragon, he had to pass through a parliament, which was composed of a large part of the nobility and clergy and a small number of popular representatives, without which the king could not make new laws and taxes. So this is one of the reasons why Castile was stronger than Aragon at that time.

However, since the Aragon Civil War conquered Catalonia and Ferdinand ascended the throne, the Crown of Aragon has become weaker and weaker, because Ferdinand has eaten a good bowl of soft rice, and he is the co-king of Castile, the army of Castile is not vegetarian, Ferdinand is also a brave man, and the two kingdoms constitute a close confederation of co-lords, so the Diet of Aragon has to pretend to be a grandson honestly.

However, Ferdinand was not satisfied with this, anyway, after the complete integration of history in 1516, all the parliaments in Spain, as they did before the mid-to-late 19th century, no longer posed a great threat to the royal power, and really became parliaments, which could only be deliberated......

It's better to be Castile! All this is because the Castilian monarch, the main body of the kingdom, has great power, no wonder Ferdinand plotted for his wife's throne, and in the land of Aragon, he is not comfortable!

But now the situation has changed, more than ten years of the Granada War, Ferdinand fought on the front line, bringing out a strong and loyal army, because the royal family has been fighting with the army, not hesitating to risk their lives, such as Princess Isabella (the queen's daughter) was trapped in a rebellious city, Ferdinand's tent camp was on fire, and the clothes and property of the royal family members were burned to the ground......

So on January 3, 1492, the day after Granada surrendered and Ferdinand spoke in the Alhambra Palace, the day when the good news spread throughout Europe, Ferdinand sent an open letter announcing that Queen Isabella had become the co-queen of Aragon. This is not England, the king of Aragon is restricted, but the king of Castile levies taxes regardless of what the parliament thinks! In Spain, it was never too difficult for the king to suppress the parliament, Carlos I said that even if the Castilian people supported my own mother (indeed my own mother), it would still be suppressed, and I did not have many troops in Spain, so what was it, 4,000 German mercenaries were settled, and then Castile was instigated.

So now under the city of Granada, there are hundreds of thousands of Castilian troops loyal to the two monarchs...... Although it is said to eat soft rice, it does not affect the combat effectiveness of the army and the efficiency of suppression, and the Kingdom of Aragon is not a heart, not to mention Catalonia, and the Aragonese have been fighting for so many years, and the main body of the kingdom is currently the power of the pro-king, and the power of the parliament is quite large, but like the parliament of Leon, it relies on tradition rather than foundation, so once there is a merger of kingdoms, it is all autocratic assimilation dishes, Castile and León, Castile and Aragon, Castile and Catalonia...... Castile is simply an authoritarian bulldozer, and whoever merges with it, no matter how democratic it is, it becomes autocratic......

And the King and His Majesty the Queen have built up immortal deeds, you know! The fall of Constantinople was the first complete victory of Christianity in decades, you know! The Pope has a deep friendship with them, and now they are even more supportive, you know! All over Europe sang praises to them, you know! Everybody knows how great Queen Isabella is, you know! Granada has been defeated, you know how we beat it! His Majesty the King takes the lead as the leading party, you know! If we dare to oppose it, it will be a great death, you know!

And Ferdinand is not a bully, the parliament represents the will of the people? Not to mention what percentage of the people's will can be represented by the parliament of this era, where is my beggars' petition group? Where is my neodymium petition group? 30 Malawedi per person per month, 1 ducat, 10 ducats for good performance, and 10 for those who have worked hard to achieve significant results! See the council's office building, don't let those guys have lunch! He wanted to do metabolic activities and also gave me an eye on it......

The Aragonese Council wanted to cry without tears, and we all decided to come to the door tomorrow to kneel and lick, why did these people come here today?

Ferdinand's helper is a multi-layered guarantee, passed on layer by layer, the intelligence acquisition of Europe in this era, there is no evidence in half a year, what if you know? Originally, Aragon couldn't defeat Castile, and I brought a large number of troops and the royal party to fight against the water, what are you going to fight with me?! I am not only the king of Aragon, even if I don't eat soft rice, I am also the ruler of Catalonia, Valencia, Sardinia, the king of Sicily, a relative of Naples, a hero of the Catholic world, I have been fighting on the front line in Granada for more than ten years! I can ask the Knights Hospitaller to deal with you! If I really can't suppress you, don't blame me for being ruthless in the Spanish phalanx, and I don't want to expose my hole cards in advance......

It's really not good, why don't I just call my wife?

So on 12 January 1492, the Parliament decided to accept Isabella as the co-queen in a very undisciplined manner - note that Ferdinand did not say a word to the Parliament except for sending a petition group, and it was the Parliament itself wagging its tail. However, the parliament still has one last small request, after all, Isabella is a woman, and the parliament of Aragon is not very acceptable to the queen, for example, Princess Isabella was treated in history, and she was a little reluctant before she became pregnant, but it was just unwilling, and the status of the prince was always recognized. So the council weakly asked the queen if she could come to the kingdom of Aragon......

Ferdinand granted their request, which was historically due to the fact that they were going to Aragon anyway, so they came to Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia......

I don't care, anyway, Catalonia is an integral part of the sacredness of Aragon! What the? The civil war with Catalonia was put to rest only in 1473? You all say there is a civil war! So what else is there to say, send a representative, that's all? And what, that parliament should be given some respect? Anyway, I've heard that many of the people of Aragon are very interested in you......

And Ferdinand not only attacked the parliament on such "small things", but also completely ignored the parliament when it was enacted. The parliament had no choice, if it advocated lenient treatment, it could be stoned to death by the people, and if it demanded that all the Jews and merchants be expelled from the council, all the Jewish civilians and businessmen would have to help Ferdinand play with the parliament in turn......

After such a devastation, Ferdinand basically ignored the parliament in terms of legislation, and greatly squeezed the power of the parliament in terms of taxation, after all, the core of the 1492 decree is to raise taxes, although it is a tax on Jews, but it is also a tax?

Historically, Ferdinand's use of the Inquisition in Aragon to commit mischief was opposed by the people and dissatisfied with the pope, but in the end he still went his own way and fought a war of words with the pope to force the latter to make concessions.

In the past few months, in addition to developing flintlock pistols, Ferdinand also had the important task of forming a petition group of up to 500 soldiers, which will be expanded to 2,000 in the future. Soldiers can also petition? Yes, they are in a crowd, and you mutinied without approval......

Why suppress it in the name of the king? Where is President Yuan's routine? Coupled with Mr. Cao's bribery method, it is absolutely ten out of ten?

Does bribery work in Europe? How did the current Pope Alexander VI come to the throne? Straightforwardly find the Sforza family of the Duke of Milan and ask them how much they will need to quit? The next day, trucks laden with gold were transported to the north......

and the current Pope's cup of poisonous chicken soup for the soul, Ferdinand is sorry for the Pope's wonderful performance if he doesn't learn it, it's really a drunken relief...... He's not going to poison himself......

Feeling the masterful methods of the Pope, the brilliant method of poisoning a secular duke and then annexing the territory, wishing the nobles to rest in heaven, Ferdinand heard the voice of his daughter......

“In=noreni=per-i-pe,

in=noremi=co-ra,

tira=mine=per-i-to,

ne=do---mina.

……”

Don't doubt it, it's the Latin lyrics, and the title character of this chapter has finally appeared, but her role can only be scheduled for the next chapter......
