Short, weak, lame, and hunchbacked, Coroman may have been the worst of the Albad's royal kings, but he was well-read, earned the nickname "Book Lover", and reformed the kingdom's administrative system, conquering Skiavone (Gawain's naval overseer Andreev. Jelgo's homeland, in the eastern interior of present-day Croatia), Horvat (a kingdom on the Croatian coast), and further east, as far east as Halic (Galicia, Ukraine), even the two large ports of Zara and Split at the northern end of the Adriatic Sea paid him an annual tribute. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info can be said to be a resourceful king who guided Hungary into a new atmosphere.

The king had only one son and a younger daughter, the son was named Istvani, who had already become the crown prince, and the youngest daughter was Piloska, who had married John a few years earlier.

In fact, when Piloska married John, it was in accordance with the will of the Holy See and with his approval. Pope Eugene himself wrote to the Archbishop of Hungary, Shmara Goethe, expressing his feelings: "If France is the eldest daughter of the Church, then Hungary is the loveliest little daughter, and although it has not been converted for a long time, it has been deferential to us from the king to the people." The marriage between Pilosca and the Greek Emperor can be brought about now, and the influence of the Ecumenical Church will continue to be exerted on this stubborn empire in the future, and the unity of the Eastern and Western Churches will be achieved once again, certainly under the scepter of St. Peter. ”

So at this moment in the royal palace, when Archbishop Shmara Goethe appeared in a magnificent dress and with great majesty, he seemed to be the supreme ruler of Hungary, and he and the farms and servants of the Catholic Church were spread throughout the kingdom, and everyone had to avoid him when they saw him - no, Koroman and all the Barrows stood at the foot of the steps and saluted the archbishop in unison.

Shmala Goethe said this very succinctly, the core meaning of which is:

"Now it is necessary to join forces with Berdin and John, and Hungary is to organize a nationwide expeditionary army to go to Ohrid. Sophia supports the war against the heretic demon Gawain.

Wait for the preparation as soon as possible, without delay, that is, this meal should be a real feast, and after returning all the nobles prepare their own military service and food. ”

The archbishop was not interested in the primitive barbarian supper of all the nobles, and when he thought that he had made clear the order of the Holy See (he was a staunch Tuscan), he quickly left the palace.

The palace was then filled with servants in various coloured shirts, stables, tailors, messengers, falconers, hunters with dogs, etc., and in the shadows of the blackened pillars were full of sluts stealing wine and stealing food, and the long tables were full of meat, venison, wild boar, and mutton were bloody, and with the wine dangling in the glasses, the teeth of the Barrow nobles chewed and creaked.

Barrow, the Hungarian word for baron, has no hierarchy, because the great nobles of the whole country are "barons", without exception.

Coroman convened a council of barons to discuss matters, which was a legacy of the old fashion.

Unexpectedly, Coroman, who was sitting in the middle of the north side of the table, raised his pale hair and said in a calm and suppressed voice, "I am not optimistic about this crusade, and if I were to be the master, I would say no." ”

The Barrows at the table were stunned, and many of them secretly agreed with the king.

Although the Kingdom of Hungary is young, the internal and external situation is not simple at all. On the one hand, it not only eliminated and annexed the backward and weak barbarian regime next to it, but on the other hand, it was also in the gap between the German Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire, and it was also strongly influenced by Pope Peter.

Sixty years ago, the German Empire invaded it, and it was impossible to convince the Hungarians that this neighbor was good, and it was not until Henry IV and the Pope had no time to advance eastward that Hungary recovered and took the opportunity to expand its territory; The Ecumenical Church was not a good one, it had a large possession of good land in the country, and when Koroman had confiscated part of the Church's land and was to give it to his subordinates as a fief, Shmaragothe directly ordered him to kneel and repent.

Shmara Goethe then arrogantly warned him that if such absurdities were repeated, "the Holy See can at any time depose Your Majesty and rule the country with another descendant of the Arbad." ”

The archbishop was talking about Almosh, the younger brother of Coroman.

Ten years ago, when the German Crusade from the West entered Hungary, they did not treat the people here as human beings at all, and wantonly slaughtered and plundered, Coroman could not bear it anymore and ordered several vassals to attack the hordes of the Crusade, killing many people. As a result, Shmara Goethe directly ordered him to kneel and repent.

"You are one step away from being doomed, my majesty." The archbishop had an expression of hatred that could not be made of steel.

Coroman had no choice but to bow to the leaders of the Crusade to the East, such as Godfrey and Gawain.

But can the Barrows be trusted?

No, apparently not.

But the only thing Coroman can win over now is this group of rebellious lords.

Out of resentment against the Church's dominance, most of the Hungarian Barrows were more pro-Constantinople, and even now many Barrows are also opposed to the Crusades, and even advocate peace with Gawain and become vassals of Constantinople, "which is also stronger than the snort of the Hungarian devils (the Hungarians' contempt for the Germans and Austrians) and the Eulaws (Italian) gods!" We will always support the emperor, who in Constantinople will support whom. ”

Therefore, the king's sigh caused a great resonance at the dinner, and there was no shortage of sympathy.

One of the most energetic was a brave Barrow, his name is Tonuzoba. Not only did he refuse to give himself a Latinized Christian name, he continued to stubbornly use the name handed down by this nomadic people, but he also shaved his head, dragged three locks of hair on both ears and the back of his head, and wore gold rings on his ears, so much so that the archbishop scolded him for being a slave descendant, because in Rome only slaves dressed like this. Tonuzoba spoke up for the king's "wise decision" and attacked the Hungarian Ecumenical Church for "inciting the serfs and craftsmen of the Barrow estate everywhere to join the army, but never allowing his own man to provide a single copper coin for the crusade." ”

At the table, the king's brother, Almosh, became furious, and gathered another group of lords to denounce Tornuzoba, saying that he had no Christian faith at all, that he never went to church, that he had allowed private soldiers to rob monasteries, and that he had the audacity to kill cattle under wells and trees for evil pagan sacrifices.

"you X, Christ, I am willing to kill a hundred cows to make my ancestors happy, give me divine power, and kill all the priests in the land of Hungary." Tonuzoba scolded back, and then the two sides pushed and shoved, and even drew their swords to fight.

Coroman shouted to arbitrate the situation, and the two sides vied against the old king, until at last Coroman whimpered on the table and cried out with a mouthful of mouth, "I, I have a stroke!" ”
