Chapter 381： Anglo-Western

In Barcelona, ​​Spain, the ferocious Ferdinand II landed here with his cronies and hurried to Toledo, the capital of the Kingdom of Castile, to attend his wife's funeral.

Ferdinand II received the news no later than Julius II. After all, Spain is his country. Ferdinand II was also taken aback when he learned that his wife had died. Of course, he also prepared in his heart. After all, his wife's health is not good, he has long been expected.

It was just that the information from the country surprised him. Because, some people actually painted his elegant oil painting in Italy and sent it to the Royal Palace of Toledo. Moreover, according to the information of the men, the rumors seem to have been circulated from the nobles close to France ...

As for the news that Princess Catherine was imprisoned in the Tower of London in London, Ferdinand II immediately thought of Marin, the first source of intelligence.

So, before returning home, Ferdinand II came to Rome by the way, with a sullen face, questioned Marin, and asked him if this information was spread from here.

However, Marin had already prepared, and told Ferdinand II innocently-this information was obtained by his men from Paris ...

In this way, the French completely put the pot on their backs. Moreover, as an enemy, Ferdinand II will not send people to France to question this matter. Because even if he sent someone to ask, the French would not give him a real answer. After all, both sides are dead enemies.

Now, the whole of Spain is spreading madly. It is the ridiculous deeds of Ferdinand II in Italy, and he is angry with Queen Isabella I. Even the Parliament of the Kingdom of Castile is considering whether to cancel Ferdinand II ’s co-governance in the Kingdom of Castile.

Because it seems that Prince Juan is about to inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Castile, plus Isabella I seems to be mad at Ferdinand II, the Parliament of the Kingdom of Castile is planning Abolish Ferdinand II's influence on the Kingdom of Castile.

The Council of the Kingdom of Castile, like the original Parliament of the Netherlands, hoped that by taking the young monarch (Philippines, the handsome king of the Netherlands), he would reject the directness of the clever Maximilian I to the Netherlands Take control. Switch to Castilla, the council of the Kingdom of Castile, hoping to get rid of Ferdinand II ’s control and influence over the kingdom by controlling Prince Juan, who has little idea ...

This is also one of the reasons why Ferdinand II was somewhat irritable. If there is evidence that Malin did it, maybe he has the heart to kill Malin.

However, before leaving Rome, Marin gave a suggestion "kindly"-by engaging in things, to transfer domestic contradictions ...

How to do things? Quite simply, wasn't Princess Catherine imprisoned in the Tower of London by King Henry VII of England and was abused?

At this time, Ferdinand II only had to fight against England in the name of taking his daughter's early name. In this way, the attention of the domestic people can be quickly diverted. After all, the tragic encounter of a country's princess is always easily susceptible to the general sympathy of its citizens.

As for his own messy oil painting in Italy, Ferdinand II had only one bite, which was fabricated by the French, and then arrested two nobles who took the lead in spreading the news, and forced them to confess their sins.

Moreover, the two nobles to be arrested must be weak and unwilling. Under the confessions of torture, as long as he succumbed to a tactic, even if he had confessed to the people.

With the replacement of the dead ghost, and with the English distracted by Princess Catherine's diplomatic dispute, the Parliament of the Kingdom of Castile will lose the excuse to blame Ferdinand II. In this way, Ferdinand II can retain the co-rule of the Kingdom of Castile. Moreover, his son will certainly support him.

……

Marin suggested so, but it was not good. The core is to destroy the alliance between England and Spain. In this way, there will be no such stumbling block as Spain in the future.

If you change a long-term monarch, such as Isabella I who just died, you might choose to endure this tone and continue to maintain this marriage alliance.

However, although Ferdinand II was talented, he was a short-sighted politician. For Ferdinand II, nothing is more important than authority. The reason why he pursued Isabella I was to be able to control the kingdom of Castile, not because of love. He valued Prince Juan because Prince Juan was the heir to the Trastamala dynasty where Ferdinand II was located. Several other daughters, once succeeded, their descendants will become members of other families. Therefore, he valued his son Prince Juan very much.

For Ferdinand II, nothing is more important than authority. In the original history, after Prince Juan died of illness, the mad girl Juana became the queen of the Kingdom of Castile. In order to control the power of the Kingdom of Castile, Ferdinand II cruelly imprisoned Juana and announced that Juana was crazy and did not have the ability to drive the king. In fact, although Juana was a little mentally disturbed, she was not completely mad. However, in order to gain the authority of the Kingdom of Castile, Ferdinand II still imprisoned Juana mercilessly, making Juana completely mad ... After all, a long-term imprisonment of a good person may be crazy, Not to mention a woman whose mental state is already bad?

Therefore, as a ruthless politician, in order to maintain his authority, Ferdinand II did not hesitate to accept Marin's proposal, and felt that by making trouble with England, everyone's attention was diverted. At the same time, wash away the notoriety of his mad wife ...

For this reason, before leaving the Kingdom of Naples Spain, Ferdinand II ruthlessly secretly executed several Italian beauties who had loved and loved Ferdinand II. In this way, without witnesses, the Parliament of the Kingdom of Castile cannot prove his bad behavior ...

After returning to Toledo ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Ferdinand II first obtained the support of his obedient son Prince Juan. Then, in the name of the co-ruling monarch of the Kingdom of Castile, he ordered the arrest of two pro-French but no powerful little nobles, accusing them of doing things for the French and slandering the king with oil paintings. The two little nobles had no power and no power at all, and they succumbed to all the crimes. Then, the two were rushed to the guillotine ...

Next, in order to divert the attention of the people, Ferdinand II publicly expressed his position with strong fanfare, strongly condemned the imprisonment and abuse of King Henry VII of England to Princess Catherine, and publicly asked England to give a statement ...

Ferdinand II's statement really attracted the attention of Spain. As for the romantic affair of Ferdinand II in Italy, they were all covered up by this incident.

Because of Ferdinand II ’s public condemnation, everyone understands that the alliance between Spain and England has come to an end ...

It's just that not many people in Spain feel sorry. Because, in this period, Spain is a strong country, and Britain is a weak country. Even if they lost the ally of England, the Spaniards did not feel much loss. But on the British side, after receiving the news, it was in a hurry ...) !!
