The coronation of the Ringsa was made at the urging of the coalition generals, the wishes of the city-state monarchs and the chaebols behind them.

Led by Elliott, the son of Count Tarantohosen, all expressed the hope that the queen would inherit the throne of Sicily as soon as possible, and then officially crown the crown of the unified Kingdom of Sicily.

There are many reasons for this, but the main one is that the trade union wants to really consolidate its position in the Mediterranean and the fruits of its victory.

For the Trade League, the unification of the two Sicilies and the king of Naples as the sole monarch of the legitimately Sicilian were crucial steps, even more important than winning a war.

Only by ensuring that the Kingdom of Sicily was unified under the leadership of the Neapolitan monarch could it be ensured that even if there were more conflicts with Aragon over the status of Sicily in the future, the alliance would still have the reason and name to wage war for it.

Although this is a time of war and strife, it is probably because of this that a valid reason has become one of the important factors in waging war, if a crown is once "registered" in the Vatican, then even if the coalition forces are forced to evacuate Sicily after suffering a crushing defeat in the future competition for Sicily, it will undoubtedly lay the groundwork for the future to reassert the claim.

Of course, the Lin army still hopes that this time it will be a complete success, although it may not be good if the Aragonese fleet returns to their position, but there is always some hope.

The two envoys set out from Portugal and Sicily, and although the Portuguese had left much earlier, they must have been a long way away, so that when the envoys arrived at the Vatican, they arrived almost simultaneously.

Today, the Vatican is in a rather delicate situation, so in response to the arrival of these two envoys, the cardinal body has quickly divided into several groups with distinct positions.

Now that his prestige has reached its peak, the only regret of the old Rovie is that Alexander VI is still alive, and I heard that he is getting more and more energetic, which makes the old Rovile a little worried about whether he can survive this old enemy.

At the same time, the new emergence of power in the Vatican also made him feel that he could not be ignored, although he had previously cooperated with Metropolitan Massimo of Romagna-Tuscany, and even tacitly moved Alexander VI together, but now as the influence of the metropolitan in the cardinal gradually deepened, the old Rovere began to feel threatened.

However, he still needs the support of the metro, as he is now busy with his son, the Duke of Constantine, the Duke of Milan.

Allowing Constantine to succeed the extinct Sforza family as Duke of Milan was Alexander's original suggestion and promise to him, and this suggestion was so tempting that the elder Rovere finally chose to support Alexander at all costs, including his brief cooperation with Alexander VI for this purpose.

With the temporary end of the Italian War, Italy was invisibly divided into two parts, north and south, from Genoa to Verona and then to Venice.

The peninsulas, including Rome, Florence, Pisa, and Naples, became the sphere of influence of the Free Trade Alliance, led by the Duchy of Rome and Thesia, while the rich Lombardy region, centered on Milan, was voluntarily ceded by the Trade League.

As for Genoa, it was still under the control of the French, but they were not doing so well, and with a large number of French troops withdrawn to the French mainland, the original Genoese nobility was planning to use the Sardinian island they now occupied as a base to launch a counterattack against the French who occupied Genoa.

It was not an easy task to become the Duke of Milan, and despite the open support of Rome Thesia, and the French seemed to acquiesce to this helpless fact, the opposition from the Emperor Maximian was so strong that even the news from Vienna said that if the elder Rovere insisted on sending his son to the throne of the Duke of Milan, then the Emperor might not hesitate to start another war.

Even if I don't know whether this rumor is true or not, old Rovere has to take this matter seriously, after all, letting Constantine inherit the Duke of Milan may not be in line with other people's wishes, and even in the Vatican, there are still many objections.

This made him have to be cautious about those cardinals who have their own influence forces, including Massimo, not only can he not take them as enemies, but also try his best to win them over, because old Rovere knows very well that whether he can successfully become the pope and whether his son can become the Duke of Milan is actually one thing, and any success will be a guarantee for the realization of another, and vice versa.

Therefore, after the arrival of those two messengers one after another, Old Luo Weilei was extremely concerned about these two things that seemed to have nothing to do with each other at first and were somewhat inextricably linked.

Old Rovere didn't know what Alexander was doing in the Iberian Peninsula, he could feel that between the two old fathers-in-law, the son-in-law seemed to trust Alexander VI more, or that the two Alexanders were more like-minded, but as long as it didn't infringe on his interests, Old Rovere didn't care much about this, after all, what really determined the relationship between the two sides was not the relationship between the son-in-law, but the conflict of interests.

However, old Rovere still cared very much about Alexander's intentions in Iberia, after all, it was the lair of Alexander VI, and if Alexander really changed his attitude because he had received the help of the Pope there, then he would have to reconsider how to get along with this son-in-law.

In addition, Manuel's request for a divorce from Maria of Aragon gave old Rovere a glimmer of hope, knowing that because of his kinship with the Spanish kings, and because of concerns that the French might ally with the Portuguese, Emperor Maximian should be against the divorce, which made him feel that he had a bargaining chip with Maximian.

Massimo must have supported the coronation of Josa as King of Sicily, so he would have the opportunity to gain the support of a large force in the Cardinals.

Sure enough, Massimo soon publicly expressed his support for the coronation of the Queen of Naples as the unified King of Sicily, and in order to prove his firmness, Massimo wrote an open letter to Josa, in which he directly called Josa "the only Sicilian monarch", which caused an uproar in the city of Rome as soon as the letter first appeared.

Aragon's supporters in the Vatican vehemently accused Massimo of causing trouble, and some threatened to let him know what the consequences would be.

Mahimo used his usual skillful teeth to engage in-for-tat debates with his opponents.

He made an impassioned argument and argued that the debate almost turned into a bloody time.

Massimo excitedly shook his staff, which was much thicker than the others, threatening to break the head of a bishop with whom he was entangled, and perhaps so angry that he even clamored for his "another more powerful staff to teach the other man's mistress a lesson."

Such unrefined foul language stunned the people present at the time, and seeing that the promising metropolitan was about to stage a full martial arts with a heavy meat mouth in public, a group of people immediately went up and pulled Massimo aside.

However, his words still had some effect, and the other party was really frightened by him, because then Massimo not only quietly told his mistress's address, but also hinted that he knew how much private parish property the other party had hidden in his mistress's house.

The man was at once much more honest, and he looked at Massimo as if he were looking at the devil, and while enduring the great fear in his heart, the bishop, who had already been frightened, had to flee on the pretext that he was so angry that he was unwell.

Massimo, who was explosive in combat, immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue, and he frothed at the mouth and quoted scriptures to prove how historical and legal legitimacy the Queen of Naples inherited the only Sicilian throne, and at the same time, through the genealogy of the Astamara family that I don't know where it came from, it was proved that the lineage of the Neapolitan branch was actually purer than the current Aragonese branch, and that posture greatly encouraged Jisa to inherit Sicily and claim the momentum of Aragon.

Seeing that Massimo had said so much with such well-prepared and well-documented proofs, people gradually realized that this seemingly hasty wave of unification of Sicily must have been prepared a long time ago.

Old Rovere was also secretly surprised by the ambition of the siblings, and he knew that Alexander had coveted southern Italy for a long time, as evidenced by his repeated push for Skop to become Count of Verona.

Alexander's purpose was obvious, with Verona as the boundary, Italy was divided into two halves, north and south.

Old Rovere sometimes wondered if it was time to settle down and the Duchy of Rome would fight for the unification of all of southern Italy, but he didn't know how the brother and sister would get along with each other at that time.

But he never thought that the next step was not the unification of southern Italy as he imagined, and the goal of that pair of brothers and sisters was actually Sicily!

Even the elder Rovere felt a little strange for this big appetite, after all, it meant that they would have to deal with a behemoth from Iberia.

This was a bit too risky for a trade alliance that had just finished a big war with the French.

However, the elder Rovere obviously underestimated the power of capital, and under the great temptation of monopolizing the Mediterranean trade, even in the face of the more terrifying Ottoman Empire, the trade alliance will try its best to get some benefits from this giant, not to mention that all indications have proved that such a venture not only has great rewards, but is not impossible to achieve.

Old Rovere quickly made a decision, knowing that since the fact that he had become Queen of Sicily whether he approved of it or not, it was a fait accompli, all he had to do was to take the opportunity to get as much out of it as possible.

Rovere Sr. immediately expressed his support for Massimo, and at the same time took the opportunity to submit to the College of Cardinals the request of King Manuel of Portugal for the Holy See to declare his marriage null and void.

Sure enough, Manuel's request for divorce immediately caused an uproar in the Vatican.

Influences from all sides turned their attention to the distant Iberian Peninsula, and it was only then that attention was paid to the apparent ambitions of the French towards Iberia.

This immediately caught the attention of Maximian's allies in the Vatican, who, while trying to delay a decision on the request, quickly reported the matter to Vienna.

Old Rovere was not in a hurry, of course, he waited patiently for the emperor's response, and at the same time pondered how to take advantage of this opportunity to propose his conditions to Maximian.

Like many parts of Europe today, the Vatican is in a kind of seemingly inexplicable chaos, and everyone seems to be involuntarily drawn into a huge vortex that no one can say when.

There are all kinds of characters in this maelstrom, each with their own desires, but this is like a mess tangled together, the ordinary situation in Europa at the beginning of 1502.

When the frustration of the Castilian fleet in the Azores reached the Barriarides, Ferdinand was listening to another report that greatly annoyed him.

Don Bavi, who had already agreed to come to Barriaridud for negotiations, suddenly changed his mind and quietly returned to Andalusia with his guards.

By the time Ferdinand received reports that Don Bavi had fled, Don Bavi had already fled the area controlled by Ferdinand, and no one knew where he had gone.

As a result, it became much more difficult to send someone to chase after him.

This made Ferdinand furious, and he was tempted to rebuke Gonzalo, who had been the commander of the counterinsurgency, but Gonzalo unceremoniously pointed out that he had left Andalusia when he negotiated with Don Bavi.

"Maybe the stupid decision made by some self-righteous person is the cause of all this trouble."

Listening to Gonzalo's mocking words, Ferdinand's anger had already tightened the originally loose muscles on his face, and he could explode completely at any moment.

"Don Bavi will launch a more intense operation when he returns to Seville," Gonzalo looked at Ferdinand coldly, "I will capture him in front of you, but I don't want to be transferred back from the front just because of unfounded suspicions." ”

Ferdinand stared at Gonzalo's face with a heavy expression, he knew that this man was threatening him, but there was nothing he could do.

When he heard that Don Bavi had fled, he knew that the situation had turned for the worst.

The rebellion in Andalusia is bound to grow, and this time Don Bavi will not easily accept compromise and negotiation.

So now the only way is to send competent candidates to quickly quell the rebellion, otherwise the situation in Castile may really develop to the point of being out of control while the situation in Castile is uncertain because of Isabella's death.

And the so-called right-hand man is undoubtedly the man in front of him who he hates and even hates.

However, even though many ministers, including the treasurer Don Marcellosbyne, had proposed to him that Gonzalo be the commander of the counterinsurgency again, Ferdinand was hesitant.

Unlike in the North, the Castilian army in the South was mostly from Gonzalo's old army, from which even his model army was trained.

Ferdinand had seen the new army before, and although it had not yet been through a real battle, he had a feeling that it might well be a key trump card in Gonzalo's hands.

It was because of these scruples that Ferdinand was hesitant to make Gonzalo commander of the counterinsurgency again.

But with the bad news about the loss of the Castilian navy at sea, Ferdinand knew he could no longer afford to delay.

Otherwise, not only could the situation get worse, but the Castilian nobles would lose patience with him.

Ferdinand, in the name of the regent, gave Gonzalo's orders, and at the same time he urgently ordered the conscription of armed ships all along the coast of Castile, ready to deal with Portuguese attacks from the sea.

For a time, Castile was in turmoil caused by a series of unexpected setbacks, and although Isabella had not yet been buried, many Castilians had begun to miss the queen's rule.

Many Castilians can't help but think of the comfortable life Isabella had when she was alive.

And so many things happened just after the death of the queen, and all kinds of rumors about Juana's mental condition made the Castilian people even more worried.

As the regent of Juana, Ferdinand's strong attitude made the Castilian people fear that Ferdinand would one day simply replace him with the Castilian crown.

The Castibians could accept an heir to the throne with Aragonese ancestry, but they could not tolerate an Aragonese as their monarch.

Even though they are actually the same ancestor.

It is in this situation, I don't know when, in the people of Barriaridus, people began to shout the dangerous-sounding slogan "Castile wants the king of the Castillians", and once this slogan sounded in the streets and alleys, it could no longer stop its pace like a wild horse that had escaped from the loose.

Ferdinand took drastic measures against this apparently directed speech, and at his behest, the Inquisition began to take harsh measures against the population for dangerous speech.

For a time, there were many more soldiers patrolling the city of Barriaridod.

February 1 was Isabella's funeral.

The nobles from all over the world, who had already arrived in advance, gathered in the palace.

The whole palace was enveloped in solemnity and oppression for the day, the opulent tapestries had been covered by black draperies, and the mourning attendants lined up from the room where the queen had died to the carriage outside the palace.

The queen was placed on a bed made of plain flowers, and her powdered face was an eerie white that exuded a dead air.

Eight of the Queen's most trusted ministers slowly came out of the room carrying the flower-strewn bed, passing through the living room and corridor where the crowd had already stood, and then slowly carrying the Queen's body onto a carriage also wrapped in black silk.

Ferdinand followed silently all the way, and he could feel the skeptical and even hostile gazes all around him.

But he was steadfast in his face with those people.

He wanted to tell them that, whether he confessed it or not, he was the most powerful man in Castile from now on, and that even if his daughter wore the crown, the future of Castile would still be up to him.

It's just that Ferdinand didn't expect that on the day of Isabella's funeral, a real bad news for him completely destroyed the last string of his spirit.

Due to the attack on the Mediterranean Sea by North African pirates led by Hayreddin in Algiers and the Ottoman fleet, the Aragonese fleet had to give up its plan to blockade Sicily and fled back to the Aragonese coast on the west coast of the Mediterranean.

This means that the expedition has failed, and the unity of the Kingdom of Sicily is unstoppable!
