Chapter 572 The Most Famous Emperor of England—Elizabeth [1]

Then, the third queen, the French princess, Philip II's old driver's old routine, wanted to continue to receive his wife's inheritance. Fortunately, Henry IV appeared in France, defeated him, and was disgraced again.

The fourth queen, Princess Anna of Austria, was still an old driver and got the title of King of Naples from her niece.

cough cough.

The life experience of Philip II fully illustrates two things.

First, starting from nothing is worse than starting from nothing.

Second, the aura of restraining your wife, you deserve it.

In short, all four of Philip II's wives are dead now, and he has a lot of crowns and the title of king in his hands, but only one of the British ones has an IOU, which makes him feel very sorry.

Elizabeth was very smart. After going to the 'Civil Affairs Bureau' to check the marriage records of Philip II, she was almost fainted by this shameless face and halo of restraining his wife, and decisively rejected her cousin's request for a date.

15 "No date! Cousin, we don't make a date!"

Philip II's cousin failed to propose marriage, so he became furious and decided to give his cousin a bully.

Philip II was ambitious and had been preparing to invade Britain, establishing the historically famous Armada.

After receiving a letter from the Pope "fully supporting the annexation of Britain", the last scruple in Philip II's heart disappeared.

"Humph! Cousin, I'm waiting for you to kneel before me, lower your beautiful and noble head, and obediently offer me the English crown." Philip II smiled slightly:

"After conquering England, the next opponent I want to conquer is Jiajing of Ming Dynasty! My invincible fleet will cross the seven seas and spread the glory of Philip II to every corner where the sun shines!"

At the same time, London.

London in the 16th century was not as beautiful as the center of the world in the 20th century.On the whole, Britain was a small and transparent role in Europe at the time—it would never be the center of Europe.

The Thames River passes through London and divides it into two, adding countless charms to London.

The towering Westminster Abbey, located on the banks of the Thames, reveals endless glory and majesty.

This cathedral is the oldest and most noble cathedral in the UK. The baptisms, weddings, and funerals of the British royal family are all held in this cathedral.It has lasted for thousands of years, until modern times.

The highest archbishop in the UK, the title is Archbishop of Westminster, which shows the status of this cathedral.

But today, this church has an identity that the Holy See hates so much-he is the Holy See of British Protestantism.

The Pope of the Anglican Church is kneeling in the center of Westminster Abbey at this time, praying to God.

The faint sunshine cast down from the stained glass painted with religious paintings of the Passion of Jesus, and cast it on the pope, adding endless religious mystery to this stunningly beautiful girl, as well as an angel-like noble temperament.

The Archbishop of Westminster who was praying behind her was a priest promoted from the British mainland. He was full of wisdom, loved good wine, and a slightly bald old man. He looked at the devout girl in front of him with a complicated expression.

The sun shone on the girl's blond hair and snow-white skin, adding endless mystery to her, like an angel who fell from heaven to earth.

The people of England and Ireland would never have imagined that this 20-year-old blonde girl is actually the King of England, King of Ireland, Protestant Pope, Elizabeth Tudor!

Also known as Elizabeth I!

She, in order to prevent Britain from falling into the hands of other countries, never married and ruled Britain as a virgin for half a century!

Elizabeth succeeded in maintaining the unity of England at the beginning of her accession to the throne.After nearly half a century of rule, England became one of the most powerful countries in Europe.English culture also reached a peak during this period, and famous figures such as Shakespeare and Francis Bacon emerged.

British colonies in North America also began to be established during this period.

The reign of Elizabeth I is known as the "Golden Age" in British history.Elizabeth I died at Richmond Palace on March 1603, 3. She never married, so she was called the "Virgin Queen".Also known as "Queen of Glory", "Queen of Wisdom".

It can be said that the 16th century was a star-studded era in the entire history of mankind.

Jiajing in the East ruled Ming Dynasty for 45 years and was called "Jiajing Zhongxing". Philip II of Spain ruled for 32 years and established a prosperous earth empire. Elizabeth of England ruled Britain for half a century and made Britain enter the golden age. Era, and finally defeated Spain, established the supremacy of the British sea.And Akbar, the greatest emperor of the Mughal Empire, ruled the Mughal Empire for 43 years, expanding the territory of the Mughal Empire to three times its original size and entering its heyday!

In this era, there are 687 Japanese names such as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu.

At this time, the Virgin Queen Elizabeth Tudor finished her prayers, stood up slowly, and looked at the Archbishop of Westminster.

"What's going on at the Holy See?"

The 20-year-old Virgin Queen possessed amazing beauty. Under her beautiful sea blue eyes, even the Archbishop of Westminster, who was used to her beauty, found it difficult to breathe.

As the number two man in England, the Archbishop of Westminster, like the Cardinal in France, actually fulfilled the duties of the prime minister and became the queen's assistant.

"According to our spies' report, Paul IV seems to have written a letter to Philip II. The content is unknown." The Archbishop of Westminster sighed: "Then our spies in Catalonia, Spain, The report said that the Spanish fleet was gathering in secret, and the new fleet was named the Armada, with thousands of powerful gunboats. The target is not like targeting the old rival Ottoman Turkey."

"That's for us!" Elizabeth I said decisively without hesitation.Her voice was as crisp as a yellow warbler, full of girlishness, and a hint of innocence, but without any hesitation.

"That Pope Paul is instigating my cousin, Philip II, to invade England and take the throne!" Elizabeth said lightly, "Archbishop, I think it's time for us to consider how to rebel against the Pope and my cousin."

"It's just." Elizabeth said bitterly: "Our navy is far inferior to Spain's. Even if we bought Drake and many other pirates and repeatedly attacked Spanish gold ships, we are still no match for the Spanish Armada. Even The generals of our navy have also persuaded me many times not to go to war with Spain. Archbishop, what should I do? Can God enlighten me and give me wisdom?"
