Finally, Edward and the maiden Mary finished all the ceremonies. The two of them stood side by side. Underneath were hundreds of Scottish and English nobles, ministers, ambassadors to England, and religious figures with prominent prestige.
At this time, the young king and the young queen looked so well-matched, they were a perfect match, and they were a natural couple.
Everyone knows that Scotland and England have been enemies for hundreds of years, and at this moment, the queen married England, so, at the same time, it is also announced that between Britain and the Soviet Union, England will be the main force, and the two countries will temporarily merge.
However, except for the English, all people do not want the two to become a United Kingdom-Spain like Aragon and Castile.
Including the ambassadors of Spain and France, although they had faint smiles on their faces, they were already scolding their mothers in their hearts, cursing the couple to divorce as soon as possible, and the United Kingdom would be scattered.
In this regard, Edward is also very clear in his heart. Although he signed a treaty with the Scottish Parliament and formed the United Kingdom, all of this is based on his marriage with Mary. If the two divorce, the United Kingdom will naturally Disbanded accordingly.
Wearing a crown on his head made Edward feel that his head was a bit heavy, and he didn't know what those kings thought. All kinds of gems were piled up desperately. If the body was weak, he would not be exhausted!
Mary on the side also moved her neck slightly, and the crown on her head was also very heavy, which was the Scottish ancestral crown.
The two stood beside the altar with solemn faces, looking like they had something to say.
The nobles and important ministers who were paying attention to this stood up one after another, and the ambassadors also pricked up their ears, not daring to let go of this important moment.
"Everyone!" Edward glanced at him, his eyes were piercing, his voice was clear and loud, coupled with the specially built sound amplification effect of Westminster Abbey, everyone could hear it clearly.
"Today is a happy day. Under the watchful eye of our Lord, and under the witness of all of you, I, Edward VI, King of England and Ireland, Prince of Wales, King of France, will marry Mary I, Queen of Scots!"
When he said the word France, the French ambassador had a black face, and his expression was very unhappy.
But Edward ignored him and said to himself.
"And, I hereby announce that Scotland will formally unite with England, Wales, and Ireland to form a united, unified United Kingdom ruled by me and Queen Mary!"
"And, the name of this United Kingdom shall be called—the Kingdom of Britain."
"The heirs of Queen Mary and I will inherit this huge kingdom, and it will never be disintegrated!"
As soon as Edward’s voice fell, there was an uproar in the audience. There were endless discussions, excited laughter, angry roars, and unwilling sighs, forming a different kind of symphony under Edward’s nose.
What's more interesting is that the reaction of the group of Scottish nobles, even though the agreement had already been signed and announced so far, still shocked them, as if their parents were dead, their faces turned pale, their lips were chapped, and their eyes Godless, like a walking dead.
And here, the smile on Spain's face has long since disappeared, and it has become a little gloomy and dignified.
The French ambassador on the other side had an impatient look on his face, an expression of disbelief, and opened his mouth wide in an unbelievable look.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, do you also agree with this matter in your heart?" The French ambassador suddenly saluted Queen Mary, then stared closely at her eyes, and asked loudly.
Following the ambassador's speech, the English nobles and Scottish nobles next to him accused him one after another. For a while, there were endless voices accusing him of disrespecting the two kings.
However, the ambassador was not afraid, and looked at Queen Mary blankly.
In this regard, Edward pressed his hand, took a deep look at the ambassador, and then stopped the noise.
Then, he looked at the girl beside him and smiled.
"Mr. Ambassador, your behavior is very offensive, but I still answer your question!"
As soon as her voice came out, it attracted everyone's attention, but she was not afraid, and said loudly and clearly:
"Of course, this is what I mean too. I have always agreed with the establishment of the Kingdom of Britain!"
Then Queen Mary's voice fell, and the entire auditorium fell silent for an instant. This small opportunity that couldn't be smaller was wiped out, shocking everyone's hearts.
The next day, the proposal to establish the United Kingdom was passed by the House of Lords, and in the afternoon, the House of Commons also passed, and the Central Committee of England immediately announced that it would join the Kingdom of Britain.
On the third day, the Welsh local government passed a proposal and announced to join the United Kingdom.
On the fourth day, the controlled Irish Parliament passed a proposal in Dublin, and the Governor of Ireland announced that Ireland would join the United Kingdom.
On the fifth day, the Scottish Parliament passed a proposal, which was announced by the current Minister of Regent, the Earl of Argyle, to join the Kingdom of Britain.
In less than five days, a new British Kingdom was born, a kingdom of about 320,000 square kilometers was born on the British Isles.
So far, the British Kingdom with a total population of about four million was born.
Of course, on the sixth day, Calais, the "French Assembly" declares that "France" joins the United Kingdom.
...
France, Royal Palace.
"Boom—" There was a loud noise, and a piece of porcelain from the East, actually from Venice, was thrown to pieces by Henry II.
"I'm so **** off, I'm so **** off!" Henry II was so angry that he threw everything around him, including tables, chairs and benches, and everything he could see.
The maids stood tremblingly by the side, lowered their heads, not daring to act rashly.
"Damn the barbarians of England, actually established the United Kingdom, snatched away my son's princess, and announced that France joined the British Kingdom, it is really shameless!"
"What qualifications does he have to represent France, what qualifications!"
...
Spain. royal palace.
Charles V sat on a chair, closed his eyes, and listened to his palace minister telling the story of what happened in London a while ago, while Prince Philip stood by.
When he heard that the Kingdom of Britain was established, he suddenly opened his eyes, which shocked the palace minister.
"Your Majesty—" said the palace minister tremblingly.
"I didn't expect that this little king still has this ability, it really opened my eyes!"
"Yes, father, after the trip to London, I have already felt that this young King of England is more troublesome than his father, and his methods are good!"
"Well! It's good that you know it. Next, he will be dealt with by you. He can barely be counted as an enemy!"
"Father, you?"
