Ok, the following content is not very romantic, it is the part that the director didn't shoot.
Coincidentally, the Tudor dynasty produced three queens in succession, Jane? Gray, bloody Mary, Elizabeth. They are nieces and sisters of Edward VI of England, England. They have been trained by the same female pedant queen for a long time, but their fates are quite different.
In order to have a prince, Henry VIII broke up with the Vatican, divorced twice and killed his wife twice, leaving only Edward VI of England, who ascended the throne at the age of 9 and died at the age of 15, and a group of ambitious regents. At the same time as Henry VIII, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty had no children for many years. He kicked the first queen to death, imprisoned the second and burned the third. (About Henry VIII and his six wives: /review/ 1 153302/)
In Henry VIII's frequent wife exchange, Mary and Elizabeth became princesses for a while and illegitimate daughters for a while. Their inheritance rights were also lost and restored. Lian Guomin, Congress, the Holy See and Europe all participated in their battle for the throne.
After the death of King Edward VI of England of England, his elder sister Mary should have succeeded to the throne. Mary's biological mother, spanish princess Catherine, was the aunt of the Roman emperor. In the eyes of the Roman Catholic Church, Mary is the only legitimate child of Henry VIII, not even Edward VI of England. Mary and her mother have irreplaceable status and value in the eyes of British Catholics.
Mary's experience is worse than Cinderella's. /kloc-Before the age of 0/8, she was a pampered princess, stepmother Anne? After Boleyu took over the magpie nest and poisoned Catherine, Henry VIII forcibly passed the Inheritance Law, which not only declared the marriage between Henry VIII and his mother illegal, but also deprived Mary of her inheritance right. If anyone dares to object, he will be executed for treason. Hundreds of people suddenly fell to the ground, including Thomas, a close friend and chief minister of Henry VIII, the author of Utopia. Moore. It's strange that no one is called Henry. Red Henry. )。 Henry VIII also blocked her marriage abroad and cancelled all her engagements, including Charles V, the most powerful holy Roman emperor at that time (he was Mary's cousin) and Francois, the rich French king. (I still remember the first episode of Tudor Dynasty, when little Mary stood at the banquet table and asked the little French prince: Are you my fiance? Then I must kiss you. Did the little prince cry after his first kiss was taken away? )
Mary's courage is also amazing. She dared to argue with the overbearing and perverse Henry VIII, and would rather die than recognize the Law of Inheritance. She was sent to change Elizabeth's diaper and could only walk in the mud, and anyone could torture her at will; Stepmother tried to poison her, and her father forbade doctors to treat her after poisoning. Fortunately, the fickle Henry VIII quickly hacked his stepmother to death, and the judge deliberately delayed the trial of Mary before she was able to escape.
The third queen was very kind to Mary. After her death, Mary held the real power in the harem. She was generous and enthusiastic, and the fourth queen converted to Catholicism and became friends with her under her infection. Although she hates Elizabeth's mother, she takes good care of Elizabeth.
In contrast, Elizabeth experienced life changes earlier than Mary and gained more experience. When Elizabeth was three years old, her mother was killed and she became an illegitimate child. At that time, she asked the nanny, Why did everyone call me Princess yesterday and Lady Elizabeth today? At the age of six, she knew how to sew bedding for her beloved 2-year-old brother as a gift.
After the death of Henry VIII, Mary and Elizabeth resumed the right to the throne, and Edward VI of England of England succeeded to the throne at the age of nine. The old king appointed the third queen Jane before he died. Semou's brother Edward? Semou is the Regent. His brother Thomas? Samuel is more handsome than Pan An, and he can spit lotus flowers. He was with Catherine, the last queen of Henry VIII. Parr is a couple who were beaten by the old king in the afterlife.
The queen couldn't wait to marry Thomas as soon as she changed her mourning clothes? Semou. It's going to rain, my mother is getting married, and the whole country can't stop it.
However, this handsome boy's philandering habit does not seem to be restrained. Moreover, he was ambitious to use Elizabeth as a stepping stone to the throne, molesting her and even sneaking into the bedroom to touch his hand. As the saying goes, the husband is unfaithful, and the wife finally knows that Catherine is neither deaf nor blind after all. Hearing these rumors and seeing Elizabeth sitting in Semou's arms, she finally sent Elizabeth out of the house. However, the mother and daughter have the same understanding of washing their dirty linen in public, and have always maintained a superficial courtesy.
Later, in Semou's love letter offensive, Elizabeth's response did not give outsiders an opportunity. After Catherine died of puerperal fever, Semou seized power unscrupulously and even dared to beat the little king. Finally, his younger brother, the Regent, couldn't sit still and locked him up for murdering the king. Elizabeth was also forced to go to court to confess their extramarital affairs. For the first time, she showed her eloquence in front of everyone and countered the claim that she had an illegitimate daughter with Thomas. The regent had no choice but to cut off his brother's head. Nevertheless, Elizabeth was not allowed to enter the palace because of her "impure reputation" and was imprisoned.
By the end of Edward VI of England's reign, John? Dudley gradually came to power, and he asked his son guildford to seduce Jane? Gray (niece of Edward, Mary and Elizabeth) soon won the heart of this ignorant girl and became the duchess's husband. John? Dudley tricked Edward, who was dying, into signing a photo: announcing that his "dear" half-sisters were "illegitimate children" and were not qualified to inherit the throne and rule the country. The crown should be worn on the cousin whose parents are legally married.
Mark? The prototype of the little king in Twain's The Prince and the Poor Child is Edward VI of England, and there is an interview scene in it. Jane? Gray is one of them, and guildford, the prodigal son, has never been allowed to meet him, which angered Jane? Gray was very disappointed. The funniest thing is that when dressing, the ministers knelt down one by one, and a shirt passed by the attendants-the chief attendant-the second attendant-the third attendant-the royal minister of the Principality of Lancaster-the royal minister-the director of Noroy's coat of arms-the warden of the Tower of London-the chief minister of the royal family-the director of hereditary patterns.
After the king died, John? Dudley did not mourn first, but arranged to announce Jane three days later. Gray ascended the throne.
When the king's death knell rang, Elizabeth cleverly avoided the palace coup by refusing to go to London for the funeral on the pretext that she was ill.
Mary accused Jane without the support of her allies? Gray rebelled and usurped the throne. After all, the whole Britain sympathizes with Mary and doesn't like John? For Dudley's treason, Mary gave orders to the world. Catholics and Protestants formed a powerful army in just a few days. Countless towns have declared their allegiance only to Mary. Jane? Only nine days after Gray's coronation, the mayor of London declared the fake queen invalid. Soon, John? Dudley and Jane? Gray and others were captured by the indignant crowd, and almost everyone in London ran to the street to celebrate. At this time, Elizabeth stood beside Mary in a high-profile manner and accepted the worship of everyone.
In fact, Mary is not as narrow and vicious as portrayed in many movies. For example, she spared the accomplice of the court coup, only sentenced Dudley to treason and signed Jane? Gray's death sentence, still hesitant, after all, Jane? Gray, who is sensible and timid, is an innocent victim in the power struggle. Mary seems to want to keep her alive, just like Protestants rebelled again, Jane? Gray doesn't refuse to convert to Catholicism, Jane? Gray was only 16 years old when he died. Her sister Catherine? Gray later entered the palace and became a waitress for Mary and Elizabeth.
After Mary came to power, in order to justify herself, she had to declare her parents' divorce invalid, so Elizabeth became an illegitimate daughter invisibly. But she still let Elizabeth sit next to her at various ceremonies and gave her unprecedented generous political treatment.
However, her series of Catholic restoration actions still angered all Protestants. After all, except for Mary's mother, Henry VIII's wife was a Protestant for the next five terms. At that time, the power of Protestantism could not be ignored in Britain. Young Englishmen have not seen what true Catholicism is for 20 years. So anti-Catholic demonstrations broke out all over the country, and naturally many people sought power and usurped the throne. In a rage, Mary arrested many troublemakers.
Seeing that the fire was about to burn herself, Elizabeth knelt before her sister with tears in her eyes: "Sister, please forgive my ignorance and lead the lost lamb back to the right path. Who told me that I was born at a bad time and didn't understand orthodox religion? I've been cheated so far. Please let me turn over a new leaf, give me Catholic books and let me study at home. "
Not all people are as bold as Mary, and the counselors are firmly opposed to releasing tigers into the mountains. As long as Elizabeth is not removed, Protestantism has a goal. Mary said that as long as my sister doesn't openly oppose herself, that's enough. Mary is an old-fashioned woman after all. She thinks marrying a chicken follows a chicken. Maybe Elizabeth changed her mind after she got married. So Elizabeth was asked to choose a child of a Catholic nobleman. Among many candidates, Elizabeth chose Courtney who refused to marry her. Courtney is just like Xue Pan who is busy eating, drinking and having fun, but he is too smart in choosing his wife. He decided to marry a wife and marry Germany. Elizabeth, after all, is the daughter of Henry VIII and his disciple Anne, nicknamed the little witch. In this way, the marriage will be open.
Elizabeth, like a wounded soldier in love, left London with a proper illness.
Obviously, Mary doesn't want to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country alone. She decided to marry her cousin, a recognized careerist and a dictatorial ruler, King Philip II of Spain. She was ten years younger than herself. On the one hand, Spain was the most powerful country at that time, and she needed such help. On the other hand, they are all Catholics. Mary was engaged to her father-in-law Charles V when she was a child. Philip II and his son both proposed to Elizabeth. )
The marriage was opposed by the whole country. Among them is Thomas, the son of Elizabeth's biological mother's old lover (the Tudor's long hair who wrote poems at the banquet)? White led the rebellion. He supported Elizabeth.
Mary was very angry and ordered Elizabeth to be escorted back to London. Elizabeth pretended to be ill again, but she really took one step as three steps. She walked fifty miles for several days and put on a touching play in front of the Tower of London. Elizabeth burst into tears and confessed to heaven, winning the tears of countless people and nobles. Luckily Thomas? White was stronger than his father. He was killed under torture, but Elizabeth insisted that she didn't know. After being detained for more than two months, she was finally transferred to other places to continue her house arrest.
Since then, no one has dared to interfere with the queen's wedding. It is said that the Queen loved Philip II and obeyed him, but he did not love her or the British people. He encouraged Mary to deal with dissidents with the cruelest punishment. In just five years, 300 people were burned to death, and the archbishops of the three dynasties were not spared. This is also the reason for the name bloody Mary later. Many British people blamed Mary's perversion on the instigation of cruel and cruel Spaniards, and the whole country fell into panic.
At the request of Philip II, Mary followed Spain to join the Italian War, and as a result, the French took Calais, the last territory of the European continent. Calais is a springboard for Britain to Europe. After the Hundred Years' War, the British did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to stick to it. Its loss made Britain an island and nailed Mary to the shame column of British history forever. In addition, Britain's little productivity was borrowed by the Spanish as their cheap factory to share the cost of the war.
However, what Mary did did did not win Philip II's gratitude and concern for her. He was too busy managing his huge empire, vassal countries and many colonies to visit his wife in England. Mary is a sincere wife, but she is not a qualified queen.
At first, Philip II was determined to execute Elizabeth, but after meeting him, he fell in love with his sister-in-law. By the standards of the time, Elizabeth I's beauty charmed everyone. With long golden red hair, fair and transparent skin and misty brown eyes, do you remember Scarlett 15 inch waist in Gone with the Wind? Elizabeth really pissed Scarlett off. Her waist is only 13 inch. Later, women all over the country followed Elizabeth's example and used lead powder mixed with protein and vinegar to whiten their skin. As a result, the number of people who died of skin cancer and ulcer increased sharply.
Coupled with Elizabeth's calmness and nobility in the face of adversity, Philip II lamented that the two sisters were one in the sky and the other in the ground. So he enthusiastically encouraged his wife to relax custody of her sister. Later, if he was not sure that Elizabeth was in his pocket, he certainly wouldn't force Mary to pass on the throne to Elizabeth before she died. At that time, he naturally didn't expect that he was helping an enemy in his life.
When Elizabeth's cellmate in the Tower of London, the handsome Robert. When Dudley brought the news of Mary's death, Elizabeth couldn't help kneeling on the grass and reading two hymns in Latin:
This is God's will,
This is a miracle in the eyes of mortals.
As it turns out, God helped Elizabeth a lot.
