"The 'young' Louis VII, the second son of the second son, was extremely religious to Christianity, divorced once, his second wife died young, and he had only one son...... Interesting, really funny. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The power of money is endless.

This is especially true for street children who do not have enough to eat and wear in winter.

In just three days, Louis VII, along with his relatives, his daily behavior, his gossip, all this information had been relayed to Magnus by the leader of the wandering children.

-- The reason why it is paraphrased is because these street children can't write. It's also thanks to Magnus's 'linguistic mastery' golden finger that he was able to figure out the confusion of descriptions.

Speaking of which, Magnus and Louis VII were still a little bit closer.

Magnus's father, Harold, had married William's sister (1), while William's grandfather, Richard II, had married a princess of the Frankish royal family; Magnus still had to shout Louis VII...... Uncle?

But it didn't matter anymore, the kind of bloodline that deviated so much that he didn't know which side lineage, even if he put the genealogy in front of Louis VII, he wouldn't care.

As mentioned earlier, Harold is still William's brother-in-law, should William be killed or not? Not only was he killed, but Harold's head was still hanging from the flagpole, exposed to the wind and sun.

But this information, when it comes to fun.

The second son was born in a convent from an early age and was extremely devout to Christ...... changed three wives, a total of four children...... From a man's point of view, it is reminiscent of some unspeakable traditions of Christianity...... What else can come to mind?

This year, even an ordinary man, at least five or six children!

Well, more or less a king, Magnus saved him some face and didn't talk about it.

However, there is another place that is quite interesting.

Louis VII's first wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, quickly fell into the arms of Prince Raymond of Poitiers after divorcing Louis VII (2).

This is nothing, it was originally a political marriage, and there was no affection between the husband and wife, so they left it. But divorced, Eleanor, the 'most powerful woman in France', left with her dowry, the entire Grand Duchy of Aquitaine!

That's the Grand Duchy, which occupies about one-eighth of all of France!

In addition, Prince Raymond of Poitiers, this prince is the heir to the Grand Duchy of Poitou, and the husband and wife are able to control about one-sixth of France's territory, while Louis VII, his own men only control one-fifteenth of the territory, such a small piece of territory in France!

The wife ran away with someone, but she still ran away with the dowry, and not only did she have nothing to do with the adulterer, but she even had to compromise to protect the peace...... Such humiliation, as long as it is a man, he will not be able to stand it, right?

Moreover, Louis VII himself was not a very peaceful man, and at the beginning of his succession he attacked the kingdom of Mannberg, but it was unsuccessful; Attack the champagne collar again, fail; It's just a decay home.

Not only has he become the laughing stock of foreign countries, but even the nobles of his country and the people of his country have few people who can afford him.

However, this may be good news for Magnus.

According to intelligence, this Louis VII has been reigning for almost thirty years, and nothing has been achieved in thirty years, so is there not a little dissatisfaction in his heart?

The more honest people are, the more they can endure it, but when honest people can't bear it, it's not just a problem that can be solved by one or two lives!

Especially, when this honest man is still a king, it is enough to pull a country to be buried with him.

"So we have to start from this place -- to make meritorious deeds, glorify our ancestors, and not make a splash for 30 years...... Of course, his wife should never be mentioned. ”

Obviously very serious discussing countermeasures, for some reason, Magnus always had a feeling of wanting to laugh.

On the other side, Andegar couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Okay, okay, let's be serious...... Speaking of which, this hairstyle of yours is quite chic. ”

Now it was Odega's turn to make a bitter face.

What kind of hairstyle is Magnus talking about?

It's the legendary Mediterranean style.

It's the kind that goes bald on the head.

But don't think that this is Father Adolphus deliberately plucking Odegar, in fact, if Odegar is a man who understands Christianity, he should be honored. After all, this is the crown of thorns that symbolizes the crucifixion of Jesus, and ordinary people don't want to shave it!

But Odegar was a pagan, and although baptized, he was still a pagan.

If Magnus hadn't stopped him, he would have turned against the priest on the spot.

"Don't be too sad, it's just hair, it can still grow back, and since Louis VII was a devout Christian, maybe this hairstyle of yours can bring us some benefits."

I really can't bear to see Odega too sad, after all, there is also his share in this. Magnus could only hold back a smile and comfort Odegar first.

Bringing the matter to the restoration of the country, Odega's face looked a little better, and he could continue to talk again.

"So, what should we do in detail?"

This sentence was uttered by Odega.

This is what has changed since that day, when he returns from the blacksmith's shop: Odegar no longer deals with any hesitation alone, but asks Magnus for his opinion everywhere.

This is a good start, and it means that Odegar no longer treats his Royal Highness the prince as an ignorant child, but as his lord, a man worthy of his allegiance.

"What is the king's desire?" Instead of answering Odegar's question head-on, Magnus asked rhetorically, "Or, as a king, what does he want most?" ”

"In the eyes of the peasants, the king should have nothing else to ask for, when he was well fed and drunk; In the eyes of the nobles, the king should be satisfied if he had servants and land—but, is it possible? ”

"Man's desire is endless, to have money, to want more money, to have land, to want more land; And Louis VII was actually quite a very understanding person, as can be seen from his actions, he attacked the country of Bornburg, attacked the Champagne territory, and had only one purpose, he wanted land. ”

"Then we will give him the land."

Note (1): There is considerable confusion in the literature on this point, some say that Harold married William's sister, and some say that Harold married William's daughter...... I think it should be my sister, otherwise this age gap ......

Note (2): Eleanor of Aquitaine, this is a rather legendary woman, her divorce from Louis VII is real, but her marriage to Raymond is fake...... Although Raymond is also her mistress.

If you are interested, you can take a look at her life, and I have tried my best to make historical deductions on a reasonable basis.
