[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

Chapter 189

Edward Tudor's funeral was held in St George's Chapel, where he used to live.Because of the special status of the second son of the royal family, the funeral was private and only his close relatives and new wife attended.

Queen Juana arranged for Edward Tudor's funeral in place of a tranced Jane Tudor (Jane Gray's married name), and then, when the sister-in-law was a little less emotional, asked her where Edward Tudor should be buried. where.

Because Edward Tudor had a will before his death, and he and Jane Tudor had no legal children, Jane Tudor was the first heir to her husband's property according to the "law of limited inheritance" set by William the Conqueror.However, during her lifetime, the real estate inherited from her husband will not be resold, and after Jane Tudor's death, the property will also be recovered by the king.

Jane Tudor, who had been relieved, almost shed tears, leaned on the maid's shoulder and said weakly: "The former king and His Majesty William's biological mother are buried in St. George's Church, so I ask you not to bury Edward here, so as not to He disturbed the peace of these two."

Even in the midst of great grief, there is nothing wrong with Jane Tudor's choice of words.

Queen Juana knew that Jane Tudor was resenting Henry VIII, because the old king who had expected so much from his second son was the initiator of the tragedy in Edward Tudor's life.

"Edward was buried in Peterbury Cathedral, and he happened to be with his mother." Queen Juana suggested: "If you have any requirements, you'd better think about it before Edward's burial, otherwise you will have to ask for it later." Disturbing Edward's peace."

"Speaking of which, my name was also chosen in honor of Edward's mother when he was born." Jane Tudor laughed and said, "It's a pity that my father didn't take a good picture of the old king's horse, so my sisters will They were named Catherine and Mary, in honor of Princesses Catherine and Mary of Aragon."

Queen Juana sighed, and suddenly felt that compared to other people, she was already one of the happiest women in this era.

Although Enrique II had a mistress before marriage, after marrying Marguerite of Angoulême, he completely broke up with his previous lover, and he did not treat Queen Juana as the heiress. What prejudice does she or Marguerite of Angoulême have.

As for the marriage with William III, although it is not a vigorous love, William III is already considered the best husband in this era, so Queen Juana really has not experienced the pain of women in this era.

Suddenly seeing Jane Tudor, who was a round younger than her, showing such resentment in her eyes, Queen Juana was also very upset.

"Please leave me a seat next to Edward's grave. Regardless of whether I will marry or have children of my own, I hope to be with Edward in God's embrace." Jane Tudor thought carefully for a while, I begged Queen Juana: "Please don't let me go back to that terrible family again. I would rather pray for Edward in front of God than see those people who are blinded by interests."

Queen Juana knew that the people whom Jane Tudor said were "obsessed with interests" were nothing more than her parents, so she told her about William III's arrangement: "After Joan moved to Wales, Anne of Cleves , you will retire to Richmond Palace. His Majesty the King has given special permission to you to move in with Anne of Cleves after Edward's funeral."

Jane Tudor looked at Queen Juana's concerned eyes, and couldn't help but her eyes were astringent. Finally, with the help of her maid, she curtsied to Queen Juana: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen."

Queen Juana sent Jane Tudor down to get her make-up done so she wouldn't be a good mourner at Edward Tudor's funeral.

……… I am the dividing line……………

After dealing with his brother's funeral, William III asked Jane Tudor to go directly to Richmond Palace to wait for Anne of Cleves, and asked Richard Cromwell to go to Jane Tudor's house to take her daily necessities .

William III, who returned to the Whitehall Palace, was a little top-heavy due to a sudden surge of exhaustion. Fortunately, Richard Cromwell behind him helped the king quickly, so William III did not fall to the ground.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Richard Cromwell hurriedly called two servants to help the king onto a reclining chair aside, and invited Cardano to perform bloodletting treatment on William III.

Lying down, William III rubbed his sore temples, and suddenly realized that he was over 30 years old, a veritable middle-aged man in the Tudor era.

And it has been almost ten years since he became king.

Because William III habitually packed his life very full, he didn't even realize that time passed so quickly in a high-pressure working environment, and it was already 1557 in a blink of an eye.

Knowing the news that the king almost fell down in the Whitehall Palace, Queen Juana didn't even spend more time with her daughter in St. James's Palace, so she hurried over to check on William III's situation.

"William, are you okay!" Queen Juana, who had no time to change her clothes, rushed all the way to William III's study, sat on William III's recliner and touched her husband's forehead. After confirming that William III had no fever, she finally relaxed. He took a deep breath, and then asked Cardano and Richard Cromwell on the side: "What happened to the king? He was fine when I returned to London with me, why did he suddenly faint?"

William III retorted not weakly at the side: "I didn't faint, I just got a little tired all of a sudden."

After lying down for a while, William III felt his headache relieved, but his tiredness had not completely dissipated.

Cardano checked the condition of William III's tongue and the whites of his eyes, and decided not to give the king bloodletting treatment. Instead, he asked someone to prepare a cup of strange potion mixed with lavender and sage, and asked William III to drink it and sleep. Then don't worry about state affairs these days, take a good rest at home for a few days or go to the countryside to relax.

After Queen Juana supervised that William III fell asleep after drinking the medicine, she asked to put away all the documents in the king's office so that William III would not get up in the middle of the night to read the documents.

"You are sure that the king will not leave any hidden illnesses." Queen Juana still asked Cardano a few more questions in the corridor, and the latter also said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I guarantee that the King will not be overworked. Apart from the need for a good rest, there is no problem. Besides, you are also well aware of His Majesty's daily life, except for too many state affairs, there is nothing particularly eye-catching."

It can be said that the workaholic William III has no other bad habits except that he likes to squeeze the rest time of others and himself too much. , Excessive drinking, so in terms of physical fitness, William III is definitely younger than his actual age, and there is no situation where his body will be out of shape after thirty.
