Eagle Byzantium
Chapter 67: Sutri's Change
The Feast of the Entrance of Mary is far less important in the eyes of the Catholic Church than the Orthodox Church.
However, the small town of Sutri was still decorated. The bigger reason was that he had the upper hand in the negotiations with Henry V. Pope Owenseth Eugene was in a particularly happy mood during this period. He was often surrounded by a group of cardinals. Walking and chatting in the sunny courtyard, they had already begun to discuss: how to inventory the properties of church monasteries across Germany in the future after they are handed over, who has been sent to be the patriarch of Henry the Fifth, and other issues.
"Go and tell my son Henry (Heinrich) that in three days I will enter the city of Rome with him to hold his grand coronation ceremony." The pope, wearing a beautiful miter, smiled and greeted the newly appointed palace deacon. Sam said.
When Anselm bowed and was about to leave the courtyard to inform Henry, the Pope suddenly turned down and said to him, "I remember that I had warned Gawain of Tarsus beforehand, telling him to guard the existing borders and not to force him. Emperor John of Constantinople, but he performed this very badly, very badly. There have been more than one impeachments, especially from Sambel of Jerusalem and Maurice, the new Patriarch of Antioch, who criticized Gawain particularly fiercely. "Anselm, you have a bright future. I'm worried if Gao Wen." If Wen goes his own way, it is not only him who will be hurt, but you will also be affected badly. "
Anselm was greatly shocked, and his eyes almost shed tears. He bowed deeply in front of the Holy See, saying that this was all the responsibility he had not continued to advise after leaving Tarsus, "please leave it to me with peace of mind." I, as your envoy, will go directly to Anatolia to order Gawain to withdraw his troops. In the next three years, I will also strive to transfer the appointment of bishops in Asia Minor to your hands."
These words greatly benefited the Pope. He laughed again, raised his scepter, and comforted Anselm, who was "obeying his duties," with a few gentle words, and told him to go as soon as possible.
Anselm, wearing a double-breasted earth-colored burqa, quickly and nervously climbed onto the back of a donkey in front of the courtyard gate, and then rode all the way to Henry's army camp five miles away. Due to excitement and hard work, he arrived When he was in front of Henry's tent, Anselm's bald head was covered with sweat, making his few remaining hair wet and raked on the back of his head, making it shiny.
At this time, Henry the Fifth was still walking around in his tent, seemingly undecided due to extreme anxiety.
"Why are you still hesitating? Do you still want to take action at the coronation ceremony?" Anselm, who broke in, looked at Henry, then at Eckhard and a few other ministers of the king, and shouted passionately.
Henry looked at him distressedly, "To put it lightly, it was neither you nor Gawain who immediately attacked the Pope. If I were to suffer a disaster, Gawain's ship would not be able to accommodate me at all!"
Anselm took out the secret contract letter from his clothes, "This is the oath Gawain gave you. The fingerprints and seals on it are always authentic. You can do it with confidence and boldness. After Gawain wins Constantinople I am the Roman Emperor in the east, you are the Roman Emperor in the west, I am the new Holy See, and the city of Rome can go away."
"That's crazy." Henry muttered to himself. He probably needed to calm down, so he strode to the table in the tent. An attendant wearing a double-eared hat hurriedly handed him a glass of wine, "I want Ice cold!" Henry shouted.
So he received a glass of wine with ice cubes, and it made a splash. It was enough to drink it in such a midwinter, but Henry drank it all in one gulp and felt that his whole hair was frozen, and then white mist and frost were sprayed, Turning around and staring, "Isn't Gawain afraid of excommunication, isn't he afraid of suspending the sacramental order, isn't he afraid that the Pope will mobilize many countries to attack him?"
"For a long time, the Holy See has always boasted that it has inherited the inheritance of St. Peter and has obtained two sharp swords, one is spiritual and the other is secular. If I become the Holy See, I will return the latter sword to You, no, pay it back now." Anselm also became crazy, staring directly at Henry and provoking him, "As long as you and Gawain ascend the two highest thrones in the east and west, no country can do anything. What's wrong with you two? On the contrary, if you don't take action, you won't be able to return to the land of Germany. Then there will be no place for you in the world. As your Majesty said, even Gawain's ship can't accommodate you. You. As for the excommunication of the suspension of the sacraments, please rest assured that Gawain is not afraid of Rome at all on this point. I have been his patriarch for many years and I understand this matter better than anyone else."
"Do it, Your Majesty!" After saying that, Anselm screamed, and the hair on his bald head stood on end.
"Let's do it, Your Majesty!" Similarly, Eckhard and several accompanying monks and ministers also rushed forward.
Henry's fingers were caressing the iced wine glass. At this time, there were waves of neighing and discussion from outside. This was the request of all the vassals and bishops to confess the contents of the contract they had reached with the Pope before the coronation ceremony—— According to the imperial charter of Germany, any king who is about to be exonerated has such an obligation.
"Bang!" Henry slammed the wine glass on the wooden table, then dressed up, opened the curtain and walked out.
The sun pierced his face freely.
Soon, Henry revealed everything in front of all the imperial officials outside the camp.
Angry cries arose as expected, and the Archbishop of Bremen directly scolded the Pope as "their move is to take back all the bishoprics in Germany, and then sell them again in exchange for money like a loan shark. This filthy thousand-headed serpent in the city of Rome!”
Henry's eyebrows were raised. He saw the excited reaction of the crowd. If he didn't become abnormal at this time, he would be the first one to be torn apart.
The secret appointment with Gawain at this moment, the cold and stubbornness of his aunt during the trip to Canossa, and his father's past, all turned around in his mind.
Finally, Henry raised his arms suddenly and clenched his fists firmly. "If we don't go to Rome, can't the Holy Roman Emperor even control his own coronation? I'm in Sutri, right here, and I'll take my crown!"
All the vassal lords cheered. They supported Henry to get on the horse, led their own troops, and rushed out of the camp like a thunderstorm, rushing towards Sutri.
A correct version in 1619 Book Bar!
When the cardinals in the city got the news, they immediately became chaotic. Some ran around in the garden, while others hid everywhere. But soon, all the streets, churches and towers in Sutri were occupied by Henry's men. Soldiers carried spears and swords and searched everywhere, claiming that the Pope must abide by the laws stipulated in the Imperial Charter and crown their king unconditionally.
"Your Majesty! Henry suddenly turned against us and forced us with force!" Anselm, who rushed into Eugene's house, rolled and crawled, and then grabbed the other party's sash in horror.
"Quick, run with me Anselm, go north, Matilda's Canossa Castle is there." The Pope also looked uneasy and pulled Anselm's shoulder.
