BXBX NOVEL Chapter 5: Duke of Norfolk
Of course! In the end it was Elizabeth who won, for her horse was grown, fat and strong, and much faster than Edward\'s colt.
"Hey! Edward, father, please leave it to you!" Princess Elizabeth proudly tossed her slightly curly blond hair, with slightly protruding flower buds, proudly striding towards her room.
Edward knew this was the result, but it was just to save Elizabeth from the rain. Shouldn\'t a brother with an adult soul take care of his sister?
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the palace, Lucy and Luna, who had served Edward since childhood, hurried to him. Look left, look right, observe carefully, as if to find something abnormal.
"Okay! Lucy, Luna, nothing wrong with me!" Edward said helplessly.
"Your Highness! You haven\'t been sick for a day since you were a child, and you\'ve only gotten better recently..." As soon as the disease was mentioned, the slightly older Luna started talking non-stop.
Edward laughed bitterly inwardly, covering his ears helplessly with both hands, and Lucy beside him blinked her eyelids naughtily, covering her ears too.
Luna and Lucy are a pair of sisters. Their parents were serfs of the Tudor royal family. Because they are similar in age to Edward, they were recruited by His Majesty the King as Edward\'s maid. Of course, being beautiful is only one of the reasons.
Luna is two years older than Edward and one year older than Lucy. Both have brown hair and dark blue watery eyes.
Since the two came to Edward when he was six years old, their barley-colored skin had gradually turned white, and their round thighs looked powerful, which was caused by their frequent work.
Luna is one point taller than Lucy, and half a head taller than Edward. So as soon as Edward looked up, he saw Luna\'s chest trembling due to speaking. The girl\'s newly developed **** were so big, like a small steamed bun, which made Edward\'s heart sway unconsciously.
Luna seemed to notice that Edward was looking at her chest, she shrank back unconsciously, then straightened up again, looking at Edward provocatively.
"Hehe, if it wasn\'t for my immature body, I would have wanted you to look good a long time ago!" Edward looked away helplessly, thinking angrily in his heart.
Luna couldn\'t help but feel disappointed when she saw Edward\'s gaze averted. Although she was still young, she already knew that if her family wanted to get rid of their serf status, they could only rely on Edward.
After looking away, Edward changed the subject, "Luna, how is Your Majesty the King doing today?"
"Your Highness, His Majesty the King is in a good condition today, but he is a little drowsy and just woke up!" Luna replied in a resentful tone.
"Okay! I\'m going to see my father." Edward walked towards the king\'s bedroom, "Oh! Don\'t forget to feed Arthur some barley and eggs. He has worked hard today."
"Yes!" Luna and Lucy hurriedly saluted and responded, only to see Edward walking quickly. By the time the two got up, Edward was no longer in sight.
The two sisters looked at each other, and there was a \'poof\', and both sisters laughed out loud, and the melodious sound echoed throughout the corridor.
Going straight to the bedroom, the long corridor is full of elegant and expensive atmosphere.
The smooth floor was painted a reddish-brown paint, a nautical anti-corrosion paint, which had been applied profusely, at least three times as far as Edward could tell.
The walls are covered with various oil paintings, including those of God and his son, as well as pictures of ancient kings in armor, all of which look extraordinarily heroic.
Come to the door of the master bedroom and see Edward, the doorman directly opens the door and lets Edward in.
At this time, His Majesty the King was flipping through a Bible, looking very devout.
Henry VIII received a good education since he was a child, and the poet Skelton was his teacher. When he was a little longer, he met and consulted Erasmus and some Renaissance celebrities. He knows Latin, French, Italian and some Spanish, Greek, loves poetry and music, and can compose and play. In the early years of Henry VIII\'s reign, some of his actions showed the influence of the new trend of thought of the Renaissance. He praised Collett, a humanist who was erudite and vigorously attacked the corruption of the church and the ignorance of priests, as "my doctor".
Henry VIII was also very learned, and his court was a center of academic and artistic innovation. He even wrote a book in Latin. The discovery of America (the New World) provided a whole new stage for the innovative spirit of Henry, the first European ruler to study global geography.
Henry VIII in his later years was suspicious, which was unavoidable for both ancient Chinese emperors and Western kings.
But His Majesty the King has never doubted or scolded Edward.
Edward\'s arrival disturbed the king. Henry VIII looked up and saw that it was Edward. His angry expression turned into a happy expression like snow. No wonder Elizabeth was jealous of him.
Lying on the bed, Henry VIII looked at his only son, feeling relieved, and asked in a doting tone: "My dear little Edward, what can I do for you?"
"Eh! Father, Isa is tired from playing with me today, so don\'t take the etiquette class tonight!" Edward couldn\'t bear the king\'s tone, as if coaxing a child, although his current body is a child.
"Okay, as long as you are happy!" King Henry said very softly.
"However, Edward! My health has been getting worse and worse recently, and you have to be ready to take on the responsibility of the Tudor royal family." The king\'s voice was slightly low, "The mission God entrusted to us as shepherds is about to pass into your hands !"
"My child! I\'m about to go to see God!" The king\'s tone was a little sad, "You will become the king of England and Wales, and any stones that stand in your way will be kicked away."
Edward was stunned by King Henry\'s words. He was not only surprised that the king\'s body was about to collapse, but also surprised by the meaning of the king\'s murderous words.
Facts have proved that the king\'s words were not in vain. At the end of 1546, Henry VIII decided through Parliament to arrest Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk who opposed the religious reformation, which set off another wave of purges of counter-reformers.
And Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, is the leader of the conservative faction.
Thomas Howard (1473-1554), formerly known as Thomas Howard, was a famous nobleman during the reign of King Henry VIII of England. Son of the 2nd Duke of Norfolk. In 1513 he was Lord of the Admiralty and helped defeat the Scots at the Battle of Florton. After inheriting his father\'s dukedom in 1524, he spearheaded the factional struggle against Thomas Wolsey, who was then President of the Royal Council, and replaced him in 1529. Supported his niece Anne Boleyn\'s marriage to Henry VIII in 1533, but presided over Anne\'s trial in 1536. He skillfully suppressed the rebellion of the Pilgrimage of Grace, and became the most powerful favorite of the king around 1540. His position was weakened by the execution of his niece Catherine Howard in 1542 and his son Henry Howard (1517-1547) for treason. He was imprisoned on charges of complicity with his son, and in 1553 Queen Mary ordered his release.
In general, he also deserved what he deserved, and he has been doing it all the time. His son was hanged for treason in the Elizabethan period in history.
I hope everyone will vote for recommendation, this is the greatest encouragement for me, thank you all
