Chapter 147 Both upgrade(2/2)
Edward VI is not well-known, and his father Henry VIII is also a historical celebrity. Unfortunately, Su Ze's knowledge of world history is average, and he only roughly knows that he was a key figure in promoting British Protestantism.
However, this Princess Mary is very famous. The famous horror story "Bloody Mary" spread in the West is based on her.
This year is already 1554, and this Bloody Mary should have become the first Queen of England.
"Princess Mary? Is she the daughter of Catherine of Aragon? Does Princess Mary have a good reputation?"
Pierre looked at Su Ze in surprise. Even if this Eastern knight knew French and Portuguese, how could he even understand the European court?
Catherine of Aragon was a Spanish princess, the biological mother of Princess Mary, and a devout Catholic.
In the hearts of Pierre, a staunch Catholic believer, France is now very embarrassed.
It was clear that France was once a stronghold of Catholicism, but the King of France concluded an alliance with the pagan Ottomans, making the entire French church unable to hold its head high.
The increasingly fierce struggle between Catholics and Protestants gradually transferred the title of defender of Catholicism to the King of Spain.
Henry VIII converted to Protestantism, making England a battlefield between Protestants and Catholics.
Therefore, in the eyes of Catholics like Pierre, Edward VI, who still followed his father's Protestant reforms, was not a good king, and Princess Mary, a devout Catholic, was the best heir.
Even in the hearts of the British, Princess Mary is a very good heir, and her reputation is quite good now.
After Mary succeeded to the throne and killed 300 Protestants, she was labeled Bloody Mary by British historians and even became a widely circulated urban legend in Europe.
Su Ze just wanted to laugh, but he only killed 300 people and it was already bloody? Then the atrocities committed by the Spanish in South America, the atrocities committed by the British, French and Americans in North America, weren't they a river of blood? Should the current King Philip II of Spain be called
"Philip's blood"?
Mary reigned until 1558, and the next person to come to power was the famous Queen Elizabeth I of England.
As the conversation continued, Pierre's shock turned to horror.
Su Ze's understanding of the situation in Europe surprised Pierre, and his inferences about the situation in Europe frightened Pierre.
How could a knight from a remote area of the Ming Dynasty be able to point out the contradictions of European countries so sharply? Some of his predictions about the situation in Europe have even been confirmed by the news Pierre received!
Are all the knights of the Ming Dynasty so powerful?
Pierre believed that Su Ze was capable enough to serve as the Prime Minister of the King of France!
Such a person is actually just the most basic knight of the Ming Dynasty?
Pierre thought of another knight. He had also watched Lin Mojun train. The young knight was wise and courageous. He was not only an outstanding naval general, but also an outstanding army general.
Lin Ke is more suitable to be the commander-in-chief than those idiot nobles in France!
Are all the knights of the Ming Dynasty so scary?
Pierre once came to the East with fanatical religious enthusiasm, but now he is only left with fear. He thinks of the whip of God that once whipped the West, and he also thinks that the Ming Dynasty was established by overthrowing the Mongol empire (
Actually it’s not the same thing), now I really feel the terror of this ancient oriental country!
So scary!
Su Ze didn't care about Pierre's mood. His French skills finally reached Level 5.
