Chapter 147: Visigothic Orthodoxy, Eastern Roman Barbarians (End)

……

In addition to the "loyalty" of "blood sacrifice to the emperor and sacrifice of the head to the Holy See", what other footnotes about "orthodoxy" does the Visigoths have?

Ferdinand thought about it, and really found a few!

Although Manuel was so high that the people who were touted were embarrassed, he was not nonsense, Visigoths were indeed the first barbarian kingdom to be recognized by the Roman Empire.

After all, after showing their loyalty in the city of Rome, the Visigoths took revenge, killed people, robbed money, took slaves, and robbed girls...... Then everyone is still friends!

In 419 A.D., it was a spring, and an old man drew a circle in Toulouse, south of Gaul, and the capital of the Visigothic kingdom rose from the ground, which was subsequently recognized by the Roman Empire, and the Visigothic kingdom, as a de jure fiefdom within the Roman Empire, became a de facto autonomous kingdom, becoming an ally of the Western Empire.

Subsequently, in the great battle of Chalon, when the powerful monarch of the Hungarian Empire, Attila, invaded Gaul, the Visigoths, the Alans, the allies of the Western Roman Empire and the Hungarian army engaged in a crazy bloody battle, leaving a strong mark in the history of warfare in the ancient world and temporarily saving the Western Empire.

Well, these historical facts, if you insist on nonsense, can indeed be regarded as some footnotes to "Visigothic orthodoxy".

However, it has never been possible to change that this so-called "Visigothic orthodoxy" is just Manuel nonsense.

Seeing Manuel talking with great interest, Ferdinand could not open his mouth to refute him.

Because at this time, his body and consciousness are setting off stormy waves!

Ferdinand now seemed to understand why he had a strange feeling of "I want it all" in himself two years ago when he heard that the Eastern Roman emperor-in-exile was selling the crown.

This is not his desire for imperial power, nor is it the obsession of the original owner, but the throbbing of the Germanic barbarian bloodline hidden in the depths of the blood and lasting for thousands of years!

Rome! Rome!

This term, for the Germanic barbarians for thousands of years, is an extremely complex term that contains too many things.

Rome, is rich. Rome is weak in force. Rome is hateful. Rome is weak and deceivable.

When the Visigoths first crossed the Danube, Rome treated these barbarians with a civilized attitude and behavior towards barbarian rule, charity, and contempt, which made the barbarians hate the pride of Rome and be ambitious for the prosperity of Rome. When Alaric conquered the city of Rome, tens of thousands of barbarian slaves and soldiers wantonly raped and plundered those rich but weak civilized people and former rulers. Blood donations were splashed to the Royal Palace and the Holy See. When the Visigoths established themselves in Toulouse, they seized two-thirds of the arable land, half of the forests, and hundreds of thousands of slaves, slaves, and tools of production. The barbarians unscrupulously devoured the flesh and blood of the Roman Empire, destroying half of the empire.

However, Rome was also powerful, sacred, and inviolable.

After hundreds of years of fighting against the Roman Empire, half of the empire was destroyed, but the Germanic barbarians finally discovered that they were in awe of the Roman throne. The body of the Roman Empire died, but the soul was feared and fought over by all the barbarians, and no one did not want to claim to be the successor of Rome, and no one could resist the religion, language, and culture of Rome. They were part of the Roman world.

Economically, the barbarian upper class and the large Roman landlords were constantly merging.

Militarily, when the Roman emperor once again came from the west, the barbarians trembled and resisted desperately, but it seemed that they could not stop the divine might of the empire.

After the final withdrawal of Roman forces, Roman Catholicism conquered all barbarian ideas, the Merovingian dynasty of Clovis converted to Catholicism, and the Visigoths were transformed from Arians to servants of the Pope. Pepin respectfully consecrated his territory to the Holy See.

And the name of Rome is even more noble and sacred, and nominally, any leader in Europe can be under the rule of a certain king because of the name of Rome. The Franks received the legitimacy of the successor to the Western Empire. Today, the Holy Roman Empire, with its pure Germanic origin, bears the name of the Romans and the King of Rome. Muscovy married a Roman princess. The Ottoman Sultan, the terminator of the Eastern Roman Empire, also called himself Roman Emperor, put not only the Eastern Empire, but also the Western Empire, the whole of Europe, the whole world in the splendor of Allah!

And now, feeling the call of "Visigothic orthodoxy", feeling that the Roman throne and the imperial succession are close at hand, the blood of the barbarians seems to have witnessed the heavenly kingdom on earth, approaching the ultimate destination, and rushing to eternal glory!

Ferdinand's uncontrollable boiling barbarian blood was full of fanaticism, worship, and piety for Rome, and even caused a deep contempt and disgust for Manuel in front of him, the "Greek barbarian who stole the artifact"!

"Visigothic orthodoxy, Eastern Roman barbarians!"

"Millions of Goths enter Gaul, and the flag covers the sky and shakes the sky!

Flatten the vast land of Rome, and the Greek barbarians have nowhere to bury! ”

Ferdinand's three souls, seven souls, five internal organs, and hundreds of limbs seemed to cheer!

If the Roman Empire's succession appeared in front of him, the current Ferdinand might even swallow it in one gulp!

Manuel, who was trying his best to fool Ferdinand, was unaware of the violent fluctuations in Ferdinand's spirit, and he was talking and spitting when he heard a stiff, tired word from Ferdinand.

"Wake up, the Battle of Vuya has lost Gaul, the Visigoths have died, and the castle has been pushed by the Ottomans...... The Roman Empire ceased to exist. ”

For Manuel, the deceased royal family who was touting Ferdinand at this time, the ridicule and damage were 200%, as if he was being poured five liters of ice water on a cold day, and Manuel was silent for a moment. The scene was a little cold and bleak for a while.

Ferdinand didn't want to mock Manuel, he really couldn't control the "passion from the bloodline" that fluctuated violently in his body, so he had to lay out the facts and reason with himself, and clearly tell himself the undoubted fact of the crazy bloodline-

Wake up, Rome is dead.

……

"Ahem, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mock the Eastern Roman royal family, I'm very sorry."

After a moment of silence, Ferdinand, who finally suppressed his blood, spoke to comfort Manuel.

The inheritance of the throne and the imperial rights, of course, he wants to buy.

Did the Roman Empire die?

You can say that it is dead, it will die sooner or later, and it will not be saved at all.

However, the Roman Empire is also immortal, and the jurisprudence of Rome is recognized by all the ethnic groups and countries that have intersected with Rome, and the legitimacy of Rome is to be looked up to by all the political powers of the Roman world.

got Roman orthodoxy, and put aside the controversy when it was poor......

Daze since ancient times!

What's more, for Ferdinand and Spain now, Roman orthodoxy now has a very real significance.

So, Eastern Roman barbarians, Visigothic orthodoxy, I, Ferdinand, are going to decide!
