020. Great family bloodline

Gentile foreign countries also have this similar culture.

After accumulating "prestige" over the years to a certain extent, the scattered members of the family also have their own achievements, so it is possible to be called so.

There is another contemporary exception - the territory is so large that it has more than three de jure kingdom titles, which will also be considered as such.

Later, more recently, the great family was derived from the same cultural circle, giving birth to several special noble identity symbols.

It is highly respected by the aristocracy of its own cultural circle.

England's long legs have the blood of "William the Conqueror".

William was born out of wedlock to become the king of the North, so the advantage of this is that the title of Northland inheritance is more based on personal ability than legal illegitimacy, and this bloodline gives the bastard son a much less resistance to the legal title than in other regions.

The members of the Capet, the Frankish royal family, are known as the "Caesar" bloodline.

The royal family of the Abbasid dynasty in the East was the "prophetic" bloodline.

Bran's great bloodline was pioneered by his great-grandfather, so their lineage is called the "Dragon Slayer" bloodline.

There are also several bloodlines, which are distributed all over the place...... For example, the Byzantine "born in the Purple Chamber" is also counted.

In general, when a nobleman marries a member of a "great family", it is often regarded as honor.

But the contemporary Swabian royal family, probably because the king is not liked by many people and the Holy See, is not called a unique bloodline, although the Bran family lost the country, but if it is not counted as the actual control of the title territory, the status is not inferior to this royal daughter who has no inheritance rights.

Howard began to explain the situation in the Swabian royal family.

"Vesta was born to the eldest daughter of Huang Mao (King Deman), and among Huang Mao's daughters, the eldest daughter and the fifth daughter (the wife of the third uncle) were born to the legitimate original wife, and the second, third and fourth daughters were legally illegitimate children.

The eldest daughter later gave birth to three sons and a daughter, but all three men died young, and only this 'Vesta Hohenzollern' has grown up, and happens to be the same age as you. ”

That's a good match, the king's eldest granddaughter.

Male and female nobles are united, and each other has each other's titles of power until the subject's death.

That is to say, if he marries the royal daughter, Bran will also become one of the Swabian royal family.

Howard took a sip of tea, and continued, "Your third uncle told me more than that, as a half-mother, Vesta was handed over to your third uncle's wife Emily after his mother died when he was five years old. ”

Grandfather's meaningful smile, Bran understood......

The next day, the party of sixty men, together with the captain's wife and the old and weak, did not march quickly, and arrived at the northern outskirts of Rome the day after tomorrow.

Bran changed into a formal suit and stood alongside Howard, followed by Iron Mountain, Simon, Dursley, Hield, and twelve servants.

Swabia was also part of Greater Bavaria and spoke the same language as the now rival Kingdom of Bavaria, "German"

Italian, High French, and Latin have been accurately mastered, and Greek is also good, but German itself is not good, so in the past two days, I have specially memorized some greeting phrases, which have been prepared for emergencies.

"Hopefully language can communicate", Bran waited, guessing if Vesta would speak another language.

With underdeveloped transportation and dialect transformation in various places, the most troublesome thing about marrying a foreign nobleman is that it will take several years for both parties to adapt to each other's "cultural circle" and "faith".

Almost all of the convoys of sixty people had mounts, but most of the women rode donkeys.

The women's clothes were plain, and the guards almost all wore beards on their faces, and King Deman's love for beards affected the men of the country.

After passing through the border checkpoint of the Papal State, Bran saw his third uncle, Agon, shouting in his direction with his hand raised.

"Bran!"

When they heard the noise, they saw people approaching each other.

I haven't seen him for a few years, but I'm still so heroic, and my posture hasn't changed with my voice.

Agang and his entourage also came here for a political purpose, to meet the Holy See, so the Holy See will arrange accommodation.

When Bran approached his grandfather, Bran jumped down and then helped his grandfather dismount.

"God bless, you are getting better and better, and that movement shows that you are good at equestrianism." Agang first saluted his elder Howard, then pulled Bran, looked left and right, and even pinched Bran's face.

Express your uncle's affection for your nephew.

"I've heard on the eastern border of Swabia that you're doing a good job in northern Italy, and you've captured the members of the Star Mercenary Regiment, and these bastards have killed a lot of Swabians, so I can recommend you in front of Your Majesty (King Deman)."

Agang punched Bran hard, and Bran held up, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

His mouth was full of the smell of wine, and Bran actually wanted to keep his distance.

After a few words, Bran was dragged by Agan to the queue of ladies in the convoy.

There were four carriages, all of which were filled with noble ladies.

They pulled back the curtains and stared at Bran as he approached slowly.

A handsome young man, always likable, Bran receives a lot of sweet eyes.

The ladies in the first two carriages leaned against the window and looked at Bran, and the guards next to her, Aagon made a brief introduction, and Bran nodded.

Then came the last two, members of the Hohenzollern family.

Bran yesterday made a special look at the "History of the Contemporary Aristocracy".

"Hohenzollern" is the German word for "noble".

Therefore, they always have the white deer coat of arms embroidered with the seal of the Holy Cross on their clothes.

Strictly speaking, in terms of the history of the royal families, this is a new aristocratic lineage, which is only 220 years old.

The first patriarch was an experienced "mountain man" in the "Alps", who became a landless knight because he hunted a snow-white stag and presented it to the king at that time.

Due to the prosperity of the deer, the main coat of arms of the family is mainly the white deer, and the stripes are different from generation to generation, and they change with the feudal king.

After a hundred years of development, it became one of the powerful people competing for the throne, and after winning the throne, he defeated the Frank Capetian dynasty from the west, so that Swabia finally no longer had to look at the emperor's face, and the royal family was renamed Hohenzollern, and the coat of arms was added to the Holy Cross, so that the Holy Cross White Deer Banner is still used today.

……

The curtains of the two carriages side by side were pulled open together, and Agang beckoned, and two boys, aged seven and eight, got out of the carriage and came to greet Bran.

They were in good spirits, they all had precious rings in their hands, and their faces were round.

"This is my son...... This is Bran, and you should be called brothers. ”

The two young boys don't look like their rude father, but they resemble their mother.

"I heard from my father, cousin, you are a warrior, and you are also very knowledgeable, and you have mastered the monastery scriptures."

The two children surrounded Bran, calling him cousin, and kept asking questions.

"Exaggeration."
