[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

William III, who was forced to rest by the doctor and Queen Juana, slept until dawn the next day, before he was exhausted from his body.Then he sat on the bed for a long time, and when his swollen head finally calmed down, he rang the room bell and let the servant and Richard Cromwell come in.

"Your Majesty, your complexion looks better than yesterday." Richard Cromwell carefully observed William III's face, and then handed him mouthwash and the potion prepared by Cardano.

"What's in it?" William III sniffed the cloudy potion, and was immediately sobered up by the pungent smell.

"Cardano and Se...Mr. Michele added mint, cornflower, sage and some herbs from the Ottoman Empire to the medicine you prepared." Richard Cromwell replied Said: "This is a sober medicine that has been further improved on the prescription of the Ottoman Empire. Although you didn't drink alcohol last night, it has a wonderful effect on relieving your nerves."

William III took a sip of the strangely colored and pungent herbal medicine in one gulp.Fortunately, its taste is not bad, and even has a slightly bitter sweetness.

"After I rested yesterday, no one came to see me!" William III rinsed his mouth again, planning to start his day's work.

Richard Cromwell remembered Queen Juana's entrustment, so he said matter-of-factly: "After you rested, Sir Francis Walsingham came to look for you, but Queen Juana stopped him."

Because his master is the King of England, Richard Cromwell's code of conduct is to remain absolutely loyal to William III: "Sir Francis Walsingham left you a letter, would you like to see it?" ?”

"Bring it here." William III asked Richard Cromwell to read him a letter from Francis Walsingham while changing his clothes.

The general idea was that Charles V wanted his illegitimate son to make an academic visit to the court of England.

Although the Spanish court inherited the humanistic style of the Catholic kings, Charles V was the abdicated king after all, and he was ashamed to let his illegitimate son dangle in front of Philip II and the Prince of Asturias.So I wrote a special letter to my cousin in England, hoping that he could receive his illegitimate child and give him a good education for the sake of his kinship and Spain's previous suffering.

After reading the letter, Richard Cromwell carefully looked at the face of the king, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you really want to receive the illegitimate son of the Roman emperor?"

Leaving aside the issue of Jeromin's beliefs, it is extremely difficult for Queen Juana and Sir Cecil to tolerate a Catholic nobleman entering the house.

"My belly is not small enough to be afraid of a boy." William III habitually said one thing in his own country, so like Henry VIII, he didn't care about the dissatisfaction of certain groups of people: "Ireland and the west of England are still Keeping the Catholic faith. If you want to reduce the friction between Jeromin and Juana, let him go there is the best choice."

"I will pass on your words to the Lord Seal." Richard Cromwell habitually believed that it was the most appropriate choice for the Lord Seal of the Catholic faith to receive the illegitimate son of the Roman emperor.

However, William III denied this: "Since it was Walsingham who reported the emperor's private request, let him arrange the matter."

William III obviously had another consideration: "The keeper of the seal is a Scot with the Catholic faith. I don't want the illegitimate son of the Roman emperor to get too close to him, so I let Sir Walsingham handle the matter. In addition... ..."

The King of England thought of his 11-year-old eldest son, and felt that it was necessary for the Duke of Richmond to experience it again: "Let Alexander prepare to receive Jeromin, and my son also needs to see what kind of character his peers have. .”

William III remembered that the illegitimate son of Charles V was the famous Don Juan in history.

It's a pity that Don Juan's skill points are all added to leading the army to fight, coupled with Philip II's suspicion and suppression, so his life is also related to his nephew Don Carlos (Prince of Asturias) Same, full of tragedy.

Richard Cromwell took note of the king's words and decided to communicate with Francis Walsingham about Jerome's reception.

After William III was fully dressed, Queen Juana suddenly brought Joan to the door, and said to William III who was about to go to the imperial conference hall: "You don't want to take care of things these days, just follow the rules of Mr. Cardano. My suggestion is to rest for a few days."

After all, Queen Juana also signaled Joan to curtsy to William III, and then suggested: "I am planning to send Joan to the Countess of Nottingham, why don't you go with us? It happens that the road will pass by Mi Enjoy the galleries of M. Angelo and M. Tintoretto, and then go see Guillaume."

William III thought about his recent itinerary and found that there was nothing important, so he agreed to Queen Juana's request.

It was the first time for Joan to go out with his parents, so after going out, he tentatively held his father's hand, and his little face was much rosier than usual.

After the age of four, Guillaume spent his childhood mostly in manors on the outskirts of London.

Because the manor where Guillaume lived was once the winery that William III allocated to Michelangelo and Tintoretto, so a series of expansions and modifications were made before the king's second son moved in.Not only is it equipped with a study room, a horse riding field, a training ground, and some necessary learning sites.

Even Queen Juana bought the surrounding land and hired people to supply Guillaume with vegetables and grains.

William III didn't come here for only a year or two, and found that the original winery had been expanded by more than two times.Its level of luxury is comparable to that of Westorpe Mansion, where William III once lived.

Without the pressure from his parents and elder brother, Guillaume, who gradually let himself go, did not stay in the manor permanently, but moved to the gallery to harass Michelangelo and Tintoretto.

Guillaume would not stay in the manor much unless he was going to class or taking a bath and changing clothes.

This also led to the fact that when William III passed by the manor, Guillaume was not here at all. Instead, he was in the gallery with two artists who were living and returning.

The servants of the manor were summoned at the entrance long before the king and his wife arrived, and all of them lowered their heads covered in cold sweat, not daring to look at Queen Juana's face.

Queen Juana, who hadn't seen her second son for a long time, stopped the butler from pleading guilty, and her voice was so calm that even William III looked sideways at him.

"Guillaume is at the gallery, right?" Although Queen Juana did not scold her son in front of outsiders, everyone could hear the meaning of "waiting for my old lady".

Joan, who was leading William III, subconsciously hid behind his father. Although there was no timidity in his eyes, he never wanted to touch Queen Juana's brow at this time.

The butler who had no time to inform the little master wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Between being reprimanded by Guillaume and being punished by the queen, he decisively chose the former, and then said sorry to the little master in his heart: "The Duke of York is a big I went to Michelangelo’s gallery a long time ago, so I won’t be back until dark.”

"That's it! Then I'll go and see if that kid has been influenced by art, and then he has created amazing works." Queen Juana said to William III with a normal face: "Please rest here, Your Majesty and Joan. Go and fetch Guillaume yourself."

Facing Queen Juana, who suppressed her anger, William III remained silent and waited in the manor with Joan until Queen Juana returned with the dejected Guillaume.

The biggest similarity between Guillaume, who is already a half-grown young man, and the Duke of Richmond is that both of them are very afraid of Queen Juana.

In other words, the three children of William III were all afraid of their mother.

Queen Gain Juana is always strict with the one with stricter face, so even the most cheerful Guillaume dare not show any disrespect in front of Queen Juana.

And now Guillaume was no different from a frosted eggplant.

Queen Juana was already angry, so after accidentally catching a glimpse of her son's cowardice, she had the urge to remake Guillaume.

It is obvious that the Duke of Richmond has been a child who is not to be worried about since he was a child, and Joan, who is three years younger than Guillaume, is also extremely well-behaved and sensible.

How come Guillaume (full name William Enrique Tudor, nicknamed Guillaume is the French pronunciation of "William") who inherited his father's name is out of tune anyway, and he can't see half of his parents' demeanor .

William III saw the appearance of the second son in his eyes, and the conclusion of "don't let grandparents take care of the children" naturally emerged in his mind.

Because before Guillaume was sensible, he was raised by the deceased Enrique II.

At that time, Enrique II was in the pain of losing his wife and suffering from illness. In addition, he felt sorry for Guillaume who would be subservient to the Duke of Richmond all his life, so he subconsciously indulged this young man who rarely got along with his parents. Second grandson.Not only did he and Marguerite of Angouleme's private property be donated to Guillaume in the form of a will, but also when Queen Juana wanted to educate Guillaume, she said a few soft words for her grandson. Guillaume was lucky enough to escape his mother's punishment.

Originally!Queen Juana, for the sake of her father, and because Guillaume did not have to bear most of the responsibilities of the royal family, turned a blind eye to the education of her second son as much as possible.

As a result, Guillaume has developed a character that is too free and easy, even informal.

How could Queen Juana not be angry about this?

"No, I have to let Guillaume go back to London to receive a stricter education." Queen Juana, who was so angry with her second son, asked Guillaume, who was covered in paint, to take a bath and drank half a cup of mint tea. , and then calmed down and said: "If this continues, who would guess that the 'apprentice painter' just now is actually the prince of England? This is simply too ridiculous and rude."

William III gave Queen Juana a smooth ride, and felt that it was best not to intercede for his second son now, otherwise it would be even more difficult for Queen Juana to let Guillaume go.
