[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

Not only for Queen Juana, but in any respectable family, being a painter would not be regarded as a decent profession, and even regarded as a lowly profession like butchering a pig.

Even in Florence, where the literary and English revival was at its peak, the social class among painters was obvious.

It is true that there are painters like Raphael and Titian who have accumulated a lot of wealth and prestige, but more of them are apprentices who hold the dream of being a painter and then do hard work year after year.

They may not be able to buy purple paint in their lives, but they firmly believe that they can create works of art that the nobles will spend a lot of money on.

Just like when Michelangelo claimed to have been inspired by God when he was young, he was severely punished by his angry father, who described himself as a decent gentleman.

Even a gentleman in a remote country, let alone Queen Juana.

William III did not expect that his temporary proposal would make Queen Juana make such an important choice, just as he never expected that the Duke of Richmond would give up his vigilance against Guillaume because of his few words.

When the emperor's carriage left Michelangelo's gallery, several children rode in one, and then the Duke of Richmond watched his brother and his fiancée chat happily, from ancient Greek mythology to the Renaissance, from the Renaissance Talk about the works of Michelangelo.

I can't wait to become a best friend on the spot, and completely treat the Duke of Richmond as air.

The Countess of Nottingham, who was leaning against the crown prince, felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was extremely strange, and couldn't help coughing lightly, signaling Guillaume and Mary Stuart to restrain themselves a little, at least not in front of the Duke of Richmond. Such a fun chat.

Mary Stuart, whose interest was interrupted, easily understood the meaning behind the Countess of Nottingham, so she was slightly dissatisfied: "If Alexander is willing to tell me this, no, he won't find it in the Whitehall Palace. A few confidantes."

Anne of Cleves, like Enrique II, intentionally guided Mary Stuart not to put too much energy on political training in education, but the qualities she should have would still be carefully cultivated.

After hearing Mary Stuart's words, the Duke of Richmond raised his eyebrows and questioned: "Have I never told you about art history?"

As the heir to the throne, the Tudor dynasty has always been interested in breaking the barbaric image left by the previous kings of England, and is committed to introducing high-end education to the royal family.

Therefore, historians of later generations will claim that the Tudor dynasty is the group of people with the highest level of education.

Because the brothers and sisters of William III are required to master at least four languages ​​(English, French, Latin, and Greek) to read and write before the age of 13, and to be able to proficiently measure the position of the island, or play music, Don't give a speech, otherwise you will be scolded by Henry VIII.

As the lifeblood of Henry VIII, William III's studies will only be heavier than other brothers and sisters, and the education methods of girls and boys are also completely different. This is why the former needs to be equipped with a head maid, and the latter needs at least two. The main reason for housekeeping.

"Your conversations about art history with me are limited to humanities and etiquette classes, and what you talk about is rehearsed according to the banquet template given by your tutor. It's not communication at all." Mary Stuart looked at The Duke of Richmond's face, rigid as a stained-glass fresco, felt irritated.

"What's the point of this kind of communication? You're just dealing with me like you're dealing with schoolwork." Although Mary Stuart was four years older than the Duke of Richmond, she was more immature than the Duke of Richmond in performance: "I know that you and I are just married, and our responsibility is to maintain the unity of the two countries, but can't you treat me well?"

In front of Guillaume and the Countess of Nottingham, Mary Stuart seemed to vent all her grievances, regardless of the embarrassing gazes of the former two.

It is true that before Guillaume appeared, Mary Stuart could still endure the fact that the Duke of Richmond became colder every year, obviously they were childhood sweethearts and fiancee, but Mary Stuart felt that she was facing Facing an unheated iron door, she was locked in an iceberg called a marriage contract.

Guillaume never expected that he would cause an emotional crisis between his brother and his sister-in-law-to-be, so he didn't know what to do for a while, and could only look at the Countess of Nottingham for help.

The Duke of Richmond just looked at Mary Stuart silently the whole time, neither comforting her nor explaining anything to himself, just sitting there watching Mary Stuart blushing. After speaking, he cried for a while, and then exchanged seats with the Countess of Nottingham, allowing her to comfort his fiancée.

Guillaume may not understand how to deal with emotional problems now, but when he grows up, he will never look at his fiancée crying like the Duke of Richmond.

…………

……

When the carriage of the king's family arrived at the trading market at the port, Queen Juana couldn't hide the tangled look on her brows, while Mary Stuart didn't hide her anger, and even intended to maintain a relationship with the Duke of Richmond. Keep the distance, don't let the other party get close to you.

Ever since William III got off the carriage, his eyes wandered between his queen and his future eldest daughter-in-law.

He really wanted to ask what he had suffered to be in such a dilemma.

The Countess of Nottingham took the opportunity to get close to King William III, and whispered in his ear: "Why don't you let the Queen of Scots hang out with Her Majesty the Queen?"

"Mary and Juana?" William III glanced at Queen Juana, who was still thinking about Guillaume, and felt that he would rather go to take turns negotiating with Spain and France: "Do you think Mary has the guts to talk to you?" Is Juana alone?"

To put it bluntly, Mary Stuart faced William III more easily than Queen Juana.

Regarding this, the Countess of Nottingham also said helplessly: "But only the queen of England can teach the queen-to-be of England some special things."

"Similarly, only the king of England can resolve disputes among princes."

Following the line of sight of the Countess of Nottingham, William III looked at Guillaume, who bowed his head silently, and the Duke of Richmond, who was expressionless. After all, he sighed helplessly: "Go and follow them, with you behind, Mary It won't be too awkward with Juana."

The Countess of Nottingham finally let go of the big stone in her heart, and immediately made arrangements.

At this moment, a ship from Rome successfully docked at the port of England.

Like a rat in the ditch, an old man who had been hiding for 20 years stumbled onto the land of England, his eyes were pierced by the sun and could not stop crying—he finally got rid of John Calvin's arrest and the pope's executioner , and can live a few more years in peace.
