    ps: ask for tickets, ask for subscription


    Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, the time hase to 1559.


    In the past few years, although France and Spain have been busy dealing with the Calvinists in their own countries, the foreign wars have not fallen behind.


    Italy became a victim of Spain and France''s struggle for hegemony in southern Europe.


    The first period: 1494-1504. At the heart of this period was the French struggle for the Kingdom of Naples.


    As a result, France won sessively, upying Mn and Lombardy sessively. In 1500, France and Spain colluded to upy Naples, but in the spring of 1503, war broke out between France and Spain due to the uneven distribution of spoils.


    On December 29, 1503, in the Battle of the Galligliano River, the Western Army won, and the French Army was forced to abandon the Kingdom of Naples, making it a Spanish territory.


    The second period was from 1509 to 1515. In December 1508, because the Republic of Venice took advantage of the opportunity to expel France to expand its territory, all anti-Venice forces united to establish the "Cambrai League" (members included Spain, France, the Pope, " Holy Roman Empire"), jointly fighting against Venice.


    As a result, France upies Mn and Spain upies Naples.


    The third period, 1521-1559. Spain and France signed the Cato-Cambrezzi Peace Treaty, officially ending the war for Italy, and Spain reced France and took control of Italy.


    Of course, unlike in history, Edward did not send troops to participate in this battle this time, so this treaty did not sacrifice the interests of Britain as it did in history.


    Yes, in history, Queen Mary fought for Spain when she was alive, and lost Cis, the only British stronghold in France.


    The title of King of France has really be a false name.


    So, the signing of this treaty has little to do with Edward.


    If there is a rtionship, it is one: the bronze cannon entered the stage of history with the Italian War.


    Interspersed with a piece of news, the Habsburg emperor, Charles V died in 1558.


    In this way, the Spanish Habsburg family and the Austrian Habsburg family officially dered a split.


    At the same time, good news came from Spain. Edward''s sister, Queen Mary, gave birth to a prince named Charles for King Philip II of Spain at the age of forty after an idental miscarriage.


    In the United Kingdom, Edward''s wife, the Queen of Scots, gave birth to a prince for Edward, who is also the heir to the Kingdom of Britain.


    Edward thought about his name for a long time, and finally, with a big stroke of a pen——Charlie.


    That''s right, the first heir to our kingdom is Charles Tudor.


    As for why he took the name, Edward was purely for fun.


    In his generation, if he fights against Spain, whether he can win or not is a matter of opinion.


    In this case, let your son fight!


    Go to fight with his cousin, in this way, the history will be much more fun.


    After choosing the name, Edward imagined that it must be very interesting to record the dispute between the two Charlies in history.


    As the saying goes, when good thingse, theye in clusters, and children are also piled up.


    Not long after his eldest son was born, several other women also gave birth to several illegitimate children.


    Lucy gave birth to his second daughter, the fifth eldest, named Isabe Tudor.


    Luna gave birth to his fourth son, the sixth son, named John Tudor.


    Emma gave birth to his fifth son, the seventh oldest, named George Tudor.


    So, in 1558, Edward had five sons and two daughters so far.


    The eldest son, Henry Tudor, was born on December 10, 1555, at the age of three.


    The second son, Adam Tudor, was born on December 12, 1555, at the age of three.


    The third son, Charlie Tudor, was born on September 1, 1558.


    The fourth son, John Tudor, was born on October 3, 1558.


    The fifth son, George Tudor, was born on November 8th, 1558.


    The eldest daughter, Alice Tudor, was born on December 10, 1555.


    The second daughter, Isabe Tudor, was born on November 10, 1558.


    Of course these illegitimate children were just born, and Edward gave each of them two manors and a ranch.


    The most important thing is the nominal eldest son, the king''s only heir, Charles Tudor.


    Just three days after he was baptized, he was still in a state of ignorance, and he was conferred the title of Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall by Edward in Westminster Abbey.


    That is to say, if nothing else happens, he is the prince of Ennd.


    Then, Edward and Mary canonized him as the Prince of Scond in Westminster Abbey, and concurrently served as many earls.


    In this way, unless he dies, the United Kingdom of Britain is basically in his pocket.


    This year, His Majesty the Great King was twenty-two years old, and Queen Mary was seventeen years old.


    With thending of the crown prince, the entire United Kingdom suddenly and inexplicably stabilized.


    Yes, Edward felt that way.


    In the past, although the United Kingdom was established, for the nobles, if there was no safe heir, it would be a hanging garden, a castle built on mud and sand, which could not withstand wind and rain.


    However, since the birth of Charles, the Irish aristocracy has be more loyal, and Irnd''s original move to resist the central government from time to time has also slowly disappeared.


    Also, almost all the Scottish nobles moved to London, and the marriage of the Scottish nobles and the English nobles also slowly unfolded.


    Edward can proudly say that if he is given twenty years, Scond will be fully integrated into the United Kingdom.


    And, more importantly, tribes from the Scottish Hignds came to London to swear allegiance to Edward and Mary.


    At this point, after the Scottish londs were brought into rule, the more expansive hignd areas finally joined the United Kingdom.


    In this regard, Edward was very happy to recruit two thousand people from the hignd area to form the Scottish Hignd Guards to guard the pce and protect the royal family.


    Scottish Hignders are tall and ferocious, and most of them are dead-brained and simple-minded, so they are more suitable as a guard force.


    Scottish mercenaries were also popr in Europe for a while, and yed an important role in the colonial expansion of the British Empire.


    Irnd has also made new progress, and the secondprehensive expansion operation has slowly begun.


    Thend developed has reached one million acres, 53,000 immigrants, more than 130 naturalized tribes, and a poption of 130,000.


    In five more years, the whole of Irnd will basically bepletely incorporated into the United Kingdom.


    In this regard, Edward can proudly announce that he has aplished something that other British kings cannot do.


    1558 was also the year of Edward''s harvest.
