Chapter 56 It's Time for Revenge

As the mother of the Queen of Scots, Queen Mary had to intrigue with the nobles every day, and she was very annoying. After taking a break, the letter of credentials came from England.

For a Frenchman, she has been indoctrinated with the idea that Englishmen are villains since she was a child. Since she became the queen of Scotland, her dislike for England has deepened.

It's like there is China on top of Vietnam, the Soviet Union on top of China, and a neighbor stronger than itself. The whole country feels uneasy, especially a country that has long been at odds with its own country.

Remembering that she was coerced by the nobles to accept England's conditions and let her precious daughter marry the son of a tyrant in England, the Queen Mother couldn't help frowning, and her pretty face became fierce.

I finally had a daughter, and I would not give it to the son of a tyrant. Queen Mary couldn't help but made up her mind.

玛丽·德·吉斯（MariedeGuise，1515年11月22日出生于洛林巴尔迪克，1560年6月11日逝世于爱丁堡城堡）是苏格兰国王詹姆斯五世的第二位王后，苏格兰女王玛丽一世的母亲。

玛丽·德·吉斯是吉斯公爵克洛德·德·洛林的长女。1534年8月4日她与路易·德·奥尔良在卢浮宫结婚。两人的婚姻非常满好。1535年10月30日他们的儿子弗朗西斯出生。1536年她在巴黎参加了苏格兰国王詹姆斯五世（即她后来的丈夫）与法国国王女儿的婚礼。

在1537年6月9日她的丈夫逝世，她成为了21岁的寡妇。同年8月4日她的次子路易出生。

And in July of the same year, the wife of James V of Scotland also died.

As a traditional ally of France, James V hoped to continue to maintain good relations with France through marriage.

So James, through the King of England and his uncle, Henry VIII, sent a message to King Francis I of France expressing his interest in Marie de Guise.

Francis I told Mary's father about James' proposal.At first Marie was reluctant to marry because she did not want to leave France, and besides her second son died shortly after birth.But at her father's urging, she agreed.

1538年5月18日两人在巴黎圣母院结婚。婚后玛丽不得不把她的儿子留在法国。1540年2月22日她在苏格兰被加冕为苏格兰王后。她有两个儿子，但是均早幺。

On December 1542, 12, shortly after her daughter Mary was born, James 8 died six days later, and Mary I, who was only six days old, became Queen of Scots.

And Henry VIII took advantage of others' danger and forced Scotland to submit to himself, so that Edward had a baby mother or a girl five years younger than him since he was a child.

"Go get James Hamilton, Earl of Arran!"

Currently, the regent of Scotland is James Hamilton, Earl of Arran, second only to the young Queen Mary. .

As for the Queen Mary, because of the French, although Scotland has been on good terms with France for generations, it is no less than a dream to fully integrate into Scotland and become the queen regent.

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps in the Linlithgow Palace, followed by a maid's greeting. Mary knew that it was Earl Arlen who had arrived.

Sure enough, a middle-aged man in his 40s walked in, with black and yellow curly hair, a thin face, and a light beard at the corner of his mouth.Under the black coat is a layer of underwear with red envelopes, and black moccasin boots with white borders on the feet, making the whole person look extraordinarily imposing.

"My dear Lord Regent, you are finally here!" Queen Mary couldn't help making a sound when she saw the earl, she seemed confused about her daughter.

"My Majesty the Queen Mother! What happened? It made you so flustered!"

"My lord, the matter is like this..."

"Now the Duke of Somerset, Regent of England, that is, the Devil Earl four years ago, he wants my Mary to marry the tyrant's son."

"I will never agree to this matter! What's your opinion?"

"My Majesty the Queen Mother! I think it's better to wait for the four major families to come together and discuss it together!"

When the regent heard this, he knew that this was a tricky matter, and he couldn't make a decision by himself.

At that time, the whole of Scotland was controlled by four major families, they were the Earls of Beeton, Argyle, Lannox, and Hamilton.

These four families have always been the biggest obstacle to the Scottish king's control of power, and they also firmly control Scotland's rights.

In less than an hour, almost everyone from the four major families arrived, Bishop David Beaton, Archibald Campbell, [-]th Earl of Argyll, and Adolph Lannox, Earl of Lannox, plus James Hamilton, Earl of Upper Arran, the most powerful and powerful person in Scotland is here.

"Gentlemen! The situation is as follows..." As the regent, Earl Allen first explained the reason to the other people who came, and handed over England's credentials to the ministers in turn.

Within a short time, this group of powerful people in Scotland knew the details.

"Your Majesty! Gentlemen! I don't think I can agree with England's opinion. After all, the Treaty of Greenwich has not been approved by Parliament, which is invalid!" The Earl of Argyle spoke first, clearly expressing his opposition to England's opinion. For a native aristocrat, his family's grievances with the English were too deep.

"I am also opposed to agreeing to a marriage with the English. After all, we are allied with the French. We don't have to be afraid of those English girls!"

The Earl of Lannox is a pro-French faction, and he has great confidence in Scotland's ally, the French. After all, England lost in the Hundred Years' War.

"Gentlemen! I still think we should discuss it carefully. We don't want to repeat the war four years ago!"

Bishop Beaton is a believer who yearns for Protestantism. He still has a relatively high opinion of England, which is the beacon of the Protestant country at this time.

"I also agree with rejecting the request of the English. Our Scotland must not be handed over to the English!"

In the end, the Lord Regent made a powerful summary, ending the discussion.

Queen Mary, who was watching from the sidelines, also seemed very happy that her daughter didn't have to go to England to suffer.

"So! Let's get ready for a war! It's time for our vengeance!"

Archbishop Beaton stayed aside and shook his head with emotion.

At this time, at Windsor Manor, King Edward received a letter from London.
