After dropping the letter from Archbishop Rovere, Marin became a little anxious. Because, the development of things has exceeded his expectations.
Originally, he thought that Angela was just Julius II's niece or something, so he was naturally not worried that Julius II would interfere in Angela's marriage. However, now that Julius II suddenly became Angela's father, things changed.
What made Marin depressed was that the future pope decided to marry Angela to the son of Louis XII's favorite in order to curry favor with Louis XII.
Although it is said that Marin is now an earl, and he is also an earl of an independent earl country, which is much more affordable than the earl of Louis XII's favorite. However, that's not the case. That favored minister, although not as powerful as Marin himself, was able to influence Louis XII's thoughts.
Archbishop Rovere is now declared a black bishop by the current Pope Alexander VI, and the situation is very bad. Therefore, his desire to seek the help of Louis XII to fight back to Rome is very strong.
And it is only European superpowers like France and Spain that can use tyrannical strength to intervene in the Roman issue. In other countries, Emperor Maximilian I of Shinra had too many domestic opponents to distract him from helping him pacify Italy. The United Kingdom is not yet strong, and the domestic opposition has not been completely dealt with... After all, only France and Spain have the ability to help him...
However, Alexander VI himself was a Spaniard and was supported by Spain. Therefore, if Archbishop Rovere wants to stand up and deal with Alexander VI supported by the Spaniards, he can only rely on France.
Although Marin himself is doing well, he is only the earl of a small country, and has no ability or qualification to participate in Italian affairs at all. Therefore, between the heir of an earl who can influence the king's decision-making and Marin, Marin estimated that the possibility of Archbishop Rovere not choosing himself is extremely high.
Even this time Marin used the method of switching bags to prevent Archbishop Rovere's plan. However, now because of Angela's active contact, Archbishop Rovere already knows that Angela is on his side. Therefore, Marin can hide it once, but not how many times...
If one day, Archbishop Rovere borrowed the influence of the French to force himself to hand over Angela, he would be in a dilemma.
However, Archbishop Rovere wanted to return Angela in order to marry Angela to the son of Louis XII's favorite. After thinking about it, Marin decided to marry Angela as soon as possible. Once it became an established fact, Archbishop Rovere could only roll his eyes. Divorce is not popular in this day and age. The church does not allow divorce in principle, unless the other party dies or betrays.
Even a British king like Henry VIII needs to apply to the Pope for a divorce if he wants to get a divorce. Later, Henry VIII even converted the whole of England to Protestantism for the convenience of divorce.
Divorce is difficult and you can only marry one wife. Therefore, the lords in the Middle Ages often didn't care much about whether a woman was married, as long as the other party's dowry was generous. Of course, if a married woman wants to remarry, in addition to a generous dowry, it is best to prove that she has given birth and is fertile. Because, even the great nobles cannot easily divorce. If you unfortunately marry a barren woman, you can only accept the tragic fate of extinct heirs.
It can be said that as long as Marin married Angela first, then Archbishop Rovere would have nothing to do. Unless Marin dies prematurely, Archbishop Rovere can take Angela away.
Just like Felice, the youngest daughter of Julius II, before, because she married an unknown small landowner in the country when she was in distress, it obviously made Julius II lose face. So, after Julius II became the pope, the unknown little landowner was probably harmonized... Anyway, it is no problem for European widows to remarry... After that, Julius II returned it to Feli Si found a duke's son as a husband...
Of course, that set is not available on Marin's side. Marin is not some unknown small landlord in the countryside, and he cannot be harmonious casually. Moreover, according to Marin's status, he is a good match with Angela.
However, Archbishop Rovere is in a difficult situation now and needs to please France to help him, so he is more inclined to the son of the earl, the favorite of King Louis XII of France.
However, if Marin took the lead, then nothing else would matter. Just like Maximilian I was robbed of marriage. The reason why Charles VIII snatched the marriage was that Maximilian I did not marry Anne of Brittany in person, but only adopted an informal proxy marriage method, which is not counted. If Maximilian I really went to marry Anne of Brittany and took the oath, Charles VIII would not be able to snatch the marriage. Unless, he is going to kill Maximilian I and make Anne a widow first...
All in all, as long as Marin marries Angela first, Archbishop Rovere's plan will fail. Moreover, it is not so easy for him to die, but there are powerful bodyguards like Kahn around him. Moreover, Marin is cautious by nature. Ever since he was accidentally slapped with bricks in his previous life, in this life, Marin learned his lesson and often brought dozens of strong men by his side to prevent assassination. Therefore, if others want to assassinate themselves, they must have that strength.
Formally based on such considerations, Marin deliberately revised Archbishop Rovere's letter to encourage Angela to marry him. Moreover, the father is usually present at the wedding, and the bride must be handed over to the groom with his own hands.
However, the problem is that Angela is an illegitimate daughter, and Archbishop Rovere cannot publicly appear as his father and attend the wedding.
Therefore, Angela also knew that her wedding was destined to let another person pretend to be her father and give herself to her future husband. Therefore, it is not particularly necessary for Archbishop Rovere to attend or not to attend the wedding. Of course, under normal circumstances, Bishop Rovere can still participate among the guests.
However, in the forged letter, Marin made an excuse for him, saying that he could not come. This tactic may be difficult to fool people with rich social experience, but Angela is still a little girl, and she is still underage. How can she have such insight
So, after Marin's forged letter was handed over to her, she was very happy. She was very happy that her father "supported her to marry Marin".
Apart from the fact that she likes Marin very much, it is definitely not a loss to marry Marin. Because, Marin has now become the earl of an earl country. If you marry Marin yourself, you will be the countess of this country, equivalent to the queen of a small kingdom, and you will definitely make a lot of money.
Because she was born as an illegitimate daughter. If his father was the pope now, it would be fine to marry an earl. However, for now, Angela knew that her father was just a wanted criminal wanted by the Pope, and his status was very poor.
Under such circumstances, he was definitely lucky to be able to marry an earl of an earl country. The only thing that worries Angela is whether Marin is willing to marry her...
After all, today is different from the past. Marin was just a little baron in Texel before, and it is not too wronged to marry himself. However, now that Marin is already in charge of a country, the choice has become very large. So, Angela didn't have much confidence...
You must know that after Marin became the Earl of East Frisia, although he was not recognized, no duke or earl was willing to marry his daughter to Marin. However, Angela knew in her heart that once Marin was widely recognized, the possibility of marrying those principalities or counties was very high.
Even now, which has not been widely recognized, Marin is sought after by many baron families, and many barons seek to marry their daughters to Marin.
For example, Jeffrey, the fat uterus, thought about marrying his youngest daughter to Marin. Angela knew about this. If it wasn't for Jeffrey's youngest daughter who was too fat and didn't meet Marin's requirements, Angela didn't know if this would happen...
However, what Angela didn't expect was that Marin was planning to marry her early because he was worried that Archbishop Rovere would come to demand someone.
However, considering that Angela is only 16 years old now, she is still underage. Marin suddenly felt that he was such a beast that he wanted to attack underage girls... But there was no way, it was all forced by the future Pope's father-in-law...
