Eagle Byzantium

Castration?

Almosh suddenly felt a chill in his crotch. He knew that this was a trick his hateful brother learned from the Greek Empire. His nickname "Book Lover" was not wrong. Whether it was castration or blindness, it would make people lose the qualification to inherit and challenge the throne. He only had one son, Bella. If Bella was castrated and could not reach adulthood, then his bloodline would be cut off.

"No, I can't be castrated." He couldn't help it.

"Then follow the tradition of the kingdom, chop off your big head, and put all the other Baros who participated in the rebellion on the stake." Koroman's tone was extremely cruel.

Stake?

All the Baros present immediately made a fuss. They actively stated that they were deceived by Almosh without knowing it, and they had no intention of rebelling. Many people scolded Almosh, saying that he had a rebellious bone on his head and was ruthless and ungrateful to his kind brother, and he deserved to be beheaded.

"Don't hesitate, Your Majesty, execute this guy!" The baros said in unison.

Koroman sneered and produced an oath, requiring all baros to sign and seal it, accusing Almosh of "treason", "regicide" and "deserting from the battlefield". Everyone quickly put their fingerprints and names on the oath, and then the king wanted to exile the archbishop on the same charge, and everyone agreed.

Koroman sent the indictment with the blood seals of the baros to the outside of the palace and hung it on the pillar for public display: Soon the baros' entourage and personal soldiers surrendered to the royal court, and all of Almosh's stewards and servants were arrested and detained, with ghosts crying and wolves howling.

After the matter was over, General Tonuzoba walked in with a bloody head and threw it in front of Almosh.

That was the head of the steward who explained "Why hawks peck mules and horses" eloquently. I didn't expect him to be so eloquent, but he didn't expect his miserable end now.

"You are finished, Almosh." The king looked down on him.

Almosh hurriedly grabbed his brother's robe, and then begged his son Istvani, saying that he had thought it through and was willing to accept castration, but he asked the court to protect and raise his son Bella.

Koroman sighed, his eyes softened again, he lowered his body and supported his brother, "I promise that as long as you accept the punishment, Bella's title and fief will not change."

After hearing this, the desperate Almosh almost collapsed on the ground, and then he was dragged away by several self-reformed monks from the city of Bari instructed by Danus. They were very familiar with how to skillfully castrate men, and their skills were perfect...

Soon, miserable low cries and wailing came from the secret room next to them, and the Baros present were also terrified.

When Danus came out with a plate covered with a blood-soaked silk handkerchief, Koroman lifted it up and frowned, "Is he still alive?"

"Yes, the operation was very successful. The prince is just a little mentally depressed. I believe he will be fine after a while."

"Hmm..." Koroman put the silk handkerchief down again, "Throw this thing out."

Soon, "Little Almosh", who had lost contact with his body owner, was thrown in front of the palace stable according to the king's order. Several ferocious hounds rushed out. The servants desperately pulled their collars but could not stop them from using their sharp teeth to tear the rolling "Little Almosh" on the ground into pieces and swallow it into their stomachs.

Outside, the fire was flashing, and the hounds were roaring and tearing.

Everyone was trembling.

"By the way, actually, what was torn apart by my dog ​​just now was not only my brother's penis, but also - his eyeballs. That's right, he was not only castrated, but also blinded by me - seventeen years of unhappiness, let me take a little willful revenge, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?" The king crossed his hands and lightly added this terrible and cruel punishment to the people present.

"Yes, yes, yes." No one dared to object.

At the same time, the archbishop was dragged out of the palace and thrown at the bottom of the stairs, cursing loudly. Many palace servants beat him severely with wooden sticks. It was obvious that Koroman was not going to really let Smalagod return to Italy alive after announcing the exile order.

Although the Christian soldiers were unwilling to take action, the king had already found a group of Szekely soldiers who still believed in barbaric paganism from the Claudeburg area. They first cut off the tongue of the cursing Szmaragod with a dagger, and then strangled him with a bowstring. Seventeen church deacons were also killed. After the bodies were cremated, the remaining bones were all buried in the royal palace garden, and no trace could be found.

According to the explanation of the King of Hungary, the archbishop was attacked by a group of pagan slaves while touring the territory and was unfortunately martyred. "The body was eaten alive by the barbaric grassland people." He also sincerely hoped to be posthumously named "Saint Szmaragod" by the Holy See and become "the brightest star in the canonized saints."

Later in Tuscany, Pope Eugene, who was already ill, heard this cruel and shameless news. He knew that his most trusted Szmaragod must have been killed by the Hungarians. He was almost mentally collapsed and asked for a thorough investigation of the matter.

But the bigger blow was yet to come. Anselm of Bari was the first to canonize Szmalagothe as a martyr saint and sent more monks of the Reformed Church to enter Hungary through the path of the Gawain Empire to establish a new church organization.

Pope Eugene was so angry that he died suddenly.

A correct version of the book was found in the forum of 16-9!

All the churches in Tuscany struck heavy and mournful bells to mourn the Holy See who fought against the emperors of the East and the West. Some even put him on a par with Gregory VII.

In the sound of the bell, Koroman, who was far away in the Hungarian royal palace, did not give up the pursuit of the rebellious Baro. He quickly turned the oath into a list of names, first detained them, then executed, blinded or exiled these Baro one by one, annexed their fiefs and private soldiers, and severely suppressed those who dared to retaliate and resist.

Almosh, who was imprisoned in the monastery prison, was still dragging his half-crippled body to survive. When his brother came to "visit", he learned a treacherous news, "At the beginning, I only promised to let Bella inherit your title and fiefdom, but I didn't say what kind of face he should inherit."

Then Koroman kept his word. The "envoy of the title" he sent to Essek Castle quickly arrested Bella and her son who tried to escape to Kievan Rus. Then the mother was forcibly sent to a nunnery, and Bella, who was just one week old, was also cruelly punished-she lost the light that her eyes could see forever and became a blind person.

After Koroman dealt with the incident, he negotiated terms with the new Patriarch Danus - in fact, Danus represented the emperors of the new Roman Empire, Gawain and Anna:

The Roman Empire could grant Hungary preferential tax-free treatment for imported grain, cattle, sheep, and wine, because these three items were basically the lifeblood of the Hungarian economy;

Hungary's gold mines, the surplus minted by the country each year (Hungary is a backward agricultural nomadic country, the monetary economy is not yet mature, and most farmers prefer to pay rent in kind), must be delivered 800 pounds (Hungary mines 2,200 pounds of gold each year) to be exchanged with the new Roman Empire, and the other party uses Tasso silver coins of appropriate proportions;

The two countries formed an alliance, with the Danube as the boundary, and neither side would cross or infringe on the other's interests. They had common rights to use the Danube and could build fortifications on the opposite bank.
