Chapter 194: The Fate of the World (2)

The wedding of Edward Chester, the crown prince of England, and Isabel was solemn and enthusiastic.

Both were dressed in expensive oriental silk...... Isabel also wore a French-style headscarf made of silk, which reflected Isabel's extraordinary beauty.

But Edward Chester, the Crown Prince of England, had his eyes on Richard Garveston from time to time, and the two often met each other.

Richard Gaviston wears a dark red Oriental cotton dress, a color that is said to never wash off no matter how much you wash it.

Oriental cotton is much more comfortable than English linen.

Wearing the crown of England, Edward I the long-legged sat on a high-backed royal chair with his wife, Elena, Queen of England, to watch the grand wedding.

As early as 1254, Edward I married Princess Elena of the Kingdom of Castile at a very young age.

It was a fitting marriage, and Elena brought him the domain of Gascogne.

They were very much in love with each other, and when England was in turmoil, Edward I sent her to France for safety.

She also accompanied Edward I on his Eighth Crusade with King Louis IX of France on his way to the Holy Land, and when he was wounded by an arrow, she personally sucked venom from his wounds...... It saved his life.

Edward I the long-legged put his big hand on Queen Elena's hand and whispered, "Isabel is a capable woman, and she will help our son in the future." ”

Queen Elena also whispered: "You should be proud that you have done far more than Henry II and Richard the Lionheart......"

Edward I the long-legged smiled bitterly and said, "Only by solving the troubles of Scotland can we relax." ”

Queen Elena sighed softly.

Just then, one of the guards came over and handed over a secret letter.

Edward the long-legged opened it and saw it, and suddenly had a headache, a prince in France actually wanted to attack the idea of the Gascony region!

France at this time seemed to be a big country, but it was not.

After the Franks were divided into three parts, France, as the hinterland of the original Frankish kingdom, retained the feudal system of the Frankish kingdom to the greatest extent.

Therefore, the local feudal lords were very powerful...... Rather, it was simply a loose alliance of many feudal princes who were united by their allegiance to the King of France.

In political practice, however, they saw the king as one of them...... It's just the number one duke of France.

When it served some purpose of the princes, they would unite with the king against another great feudal lord, but when they felt it was profitable, they would unite against the king.

The king had a "sacredness" that other lords did not have, and their dominance was recognized and supported by the Church, so there was moral pressure to rebel against the king.

However, this does not mean that the authority of the French king is respected by the other princes, and the princes' allegiance to the royal power is actually only reflected in the fact that they "do not easily resist the king".

The feudal system in France was itself a form of government that decentralised power to the extreme.

The king had royal power under the feudal system, but he had very little power throughout the country.

Even some of the great vassals in the Paris region, who built strong fortresses, could completely openly disobey the power of their dukes and kings.

What's even more infuriating is that if you want to travel from Paris to Orleans safely and smoothly, you must also get permission from the feudal princes one by one!

Therefore, if a prince in France wants to act alone, he does not care much about the attitude of the king of France.

This question can only be dealt with by the King of England himself...... Who called Edward I the long-legged the owner of that land?!

Queen Elena also read the letter, and she pointed it out sharply, saying: "Sooner or later, we in England will be dragged down by that land!" ”

Long-legged Edward I patted the back of her hand and said, "Yes...... But I can't see it lost while I'm alive! ”

After blessing his son, he immediately prepared to cross the English Channel for the second time.

Of course, the management of the Scotland region has been implemented.

On the edge of a small village in an unknown part of Scotland, there is a nice little river.

A Scottish wedding is taking place by the river.

Some young men and women are merrily dancing in a Su-style circle dance...... Scotland's characteristic bagpipe music is serving them.

The bride of this wedding certainly did not have the flamboyant wedding dress of Isabel, and the groom, Olibi Poblan, did not have the generous gown of Edward Chester, the Crown Prince of England, who had only Scottish linen and skirts, and could only wear flowers made of beautiful wildflower wreaths on their heads...... However, their youth, their handsomeness and beauty are absolutely not bad, and the happiness on their faces is far greater than that of each other.

Happiness never lies in clothes and accessories!

The same young and beautiful Marianne Bradford was dancing merrily...... Of course, there are also people who don't like to dance, and they gather by the river to have a competition to throw stones.

The English did not allow the Scots to have weapons, however, they could not forbid the Scots to exercise their muscles!

Xiao Vol was the strongest of these people, and with a slight push, a large stone of more than 20 kilograms flew out 20 meters away and smashed on the river beach.

The crowd shook their heads, and no one could surpass his physical strength...... Little Wal triumphantly flaunted his thick arms to the people around him.

Old Vort is also proud of his son, and his strength comes from his own inheritance.

At this time, William Wallace appeared...... He rode over on a white horse and rode in high spirits!

Ah, how many years have he finally returned to his hometown!

The arrival of William Wallace caused everyone to exclaim...... After so many years, his appearance can still be vaguely recognized by everyone.

They want to hug each other, and they can call each other by their nicknames...... Little Wal, deliberately pretending to be fierce, dragged him to the river beach, pointed to the big rock, and asked him to throw one.

Well, in front of everyone, William Wallace could only cast a piece...... As a result, little Wall was proud, he definitely didn't shoot far!

Little Wal shook his head and said, "God, you've been out for so long, and you didn't expect to be so weak...... Like a little chicken. ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

William Wallace said: "Times are different, and now it is not about strength to win......

"Hmph, you can't compare to what I said, you can't achieve anything without strength!!"

William Wallace picked up a fist-sized rock, threw it lightly into the sky, and then took out a five-wheel pistol and shot it directly.

"Phew!"

The stone shattered suddenly......

Little Wal plucked out his ears, his eyes widened, and he quickly asked what it was!

William Wallace picked up his five-wheeled pistol and was about to say something when he was dragged by a group of girls to dance.

Little Wall was too tall for any girl to dance with, so he had to stand by and watch over his shoulder.

William Wallace did not forget the dance peculiar to his hometown, and he skillfully exchanged dance partners, until it was finally Marianne Bradford's turn, and the two were about to say something...... At this time, the sound of a group of cavalry running was heard in the distance.

William Wallace frowned and saw that it was a group of English cavalry, numbering fifteen men, dressed in yellow-red uniforms.
