This time, the three questions and three answers have a final touch of friendship.
Because nobles should not be stingy when interacting with others, but should always help others selflessly.
After finishing the Oran Seven Good Doctrine, Priest Conny handed over a "Silver Spur".
They say they are silver spurs, but how could they be made of real silver?
Olan touched it in his hand and took it. It was very bulky and it showed that it was only for decoration. It was probably a copper or iron block coated with a layer of silver-white paint.
"Spurs" are things used by knights to control the speed of their horses.
As a high-ranking nobleman, the knight is equivalent to his own horse.
This is Zhaoxian Oran's sacred right as the ruler of this region.
It means that he is the protector and guardian of all knights and barons in the territory, and at the same time, he has the right to reprimand knights and barons in other territories of the kingdom.
For example, a knight from Edinburgh committed a crime in Yewe County, and Olan saw it. Although he had no jurisdiction, he had the unwritten right to reprimand him.
After "Silver Spur" took it, Olan turned it to the knight Nanding behind him to help collect it.
"County uncle" is somewhat similar to "count". County uncle can be called an earl, but they are not the same at all.
Because the "county of Britain" has the power to rule the entire county at his own will in times of war.
It originated from the title of "Count Fang" inherited from the Roman era.
In many cases, even the laws of the Kingdom need not be obeyed.
The Frankish counts, under the regulations of Charlemagne's "Monarchy", were restricted by the laws of the kingdom and even the laws of the empire.
Among the magnates who followed Charlemagne in establishing the empire, several magnates ruled even more areas than the dukes.
The emperor was worried that his uncle Fang was too powerful and would endanger the imperial power, so he began to divide the powers of the uncles and transfer them to his cronies. He announced that all the uncles in the country would be renamed counts. The uncles who were too powerful to be eradicated were promoted to dukes and reset the sphere of influence. .
The jurisdiction of each earl was limited to one county, and the regional jurisprudence was strictly controlled, so that the nobles and the monarch had an extremely clear master-slave relationship.
Of course, there are also some earls who hold two and three counties, but this affects the legal territory of other dukes or the king's heirs. In the past few decades, small-scale legal disputes have been occurring in several countries that have split away from Charlemagne's empire. Return to war.
This trend of reducing the powers of the earls had not yet spread to Britain.
Becoming a county uncle at this time means that Olan is the little king in the kingdom, but the other six countries are also canonized in this way, so it is not abnormal.
After the "Silver Spur", the second gift from the county prince is a "territory emblem flag". This kind of flag can be modified by oneself. It is just a symbol. It can be a specialty of the county leader, it can be a pattern that the lord likes, or it can be The lord's own family crest is hung outside the castle to distinguish him from other lords.
Finally, there is the right to use the "County Uncle Crown".
There is another special gift: you can also use the Ella family name as your surname.
This is a kind of reward given by the previous king (Ella's father).
Other miscellaneous things were helped by Ulf and Nanding who were beside Olan.
Kunsang was sitting in the audience. Seeing his appearance, many nobles hid far away, for fear that this half-Viking barbarian would cause something to happen.
Kunsang was discriminated against and wrote down his inner dissatisfaction.
One day Lord Oran was powerful enough to control Northumbria. At that time, whoever dared to look down on him, he killed and fed the dogs.
…
After Baoguan Aolan took it, he put it on carefully.
At this point, Olan has mastered the three-piece set of the Duke - crown, silver spurs, and territorial emblem.
But the ceremony was only halfway through, and there was still the second half.
Then the scene took on a new look, the servants came out quickly, covered with flowers, and the sound of the lute and the special bagpipes of the British Isles sounded outside.
The sound is beautiful and soft, and along with the music comes...
"His Royal Highness Malm is here!"
There was a sound from outside. Inside the cathedral, the servants around Oran stepped away, and then a royal female elder appeared with Malm on her arm.
Originally, the leading elder should be Ella or Hai'an, but Ella presided over the conferment, and Hai'an had a heart problem and was unwilling to hold the eldest daughter's hand, so he handed it over to someone else.
Olan finally meets his future wife!
Marriage is sacred. Even if Olan doesn't value women too much, he can still feel his heartbeat speeding up at this moment. This is a man's natural sense of responsibility, regardless of betrayal, conspiracy, murder, divorce...
At this moment, he will become one with Malm!
Malm put on a veil, and her beautiful and pale face was looming.
Because Olan had suffered a lot at the hands of the Vikings and was murdered by his uncle, he could not bear weight on his arms for too long and would occasionally cough up blood and become dizzy.
Malm's body suffered from chronic illness due to long-term claustrophobia.
Two sick bodies and two painful hearts are close at this moment.
Malm's pace suddenly slowed down, then his body became unsteady and he almost fainted.
"Your Highness?!"
The servant came forward to check.
Ella watched all this on the stage with mixed feelings in her heart.
Twenty years ago, on the day when I married Malm's mother, Sheila, that woman was also like this.
However, Sheila's appearance was unstable because she was injured in a fight with Prince "Ude" the night before - that woman was not weak at all.
Same beauty, but completely different personalities.
If Malm is water, then Sheila is fire - so hot that it can boil a person to death!
Is Malm his daughter?
Or Brother Ud’s daughter?
Or is it Sheila seducing someone else's bloodline?
Ella remembered that on the day she got married on behalf of her brother, she was drunk. Later, when she was sober, she wanted to touch Sheila again. She was still knocked unconscious, but when she woke up, she and Sheila were lying on the same bed, naked opposite each other.
The third time he wanted to touch Sheila while he was awake, he was told by his father to attack the Vikings.
When he returned, his wife was already pregnant with life.
Sheila was a strong woman, even to the point where the old king was afraid of her.
A disagreement can draw a sword and anger anyone.
Two unclear experiences, until the day Sheila died, he didn't understand whether Malm was of his own blood...
"Die, it's better to die here."
The couple was in love, and Hai An, who was watching the ceremony, prayed in his heart, hoping that Malm would fall to the ground in the next second.
Sheila married Hai'an's originally appointed fiancé, Prince Ude, or it was a robbery!
Ella ranked third, and Ud was Ella's second brother and Osbert's younger brother.
After Ella's father received the marriage proposal from the Picts, he thought that a union with the Northern Kingdom was obviously more beneficial, so he forcibly broke up the marriage between the lovers Haian and Ude.
Hai'an had already arrived at the Ud court, but suddenly became an outsider.
One month later.
Haian watched as his sweetheart, Oude, died unexpectedly due to an argument with Sheila on the eve of the wedding!
Watching Ella take over her brother's wedding.
Watch the old king climb into his bed and talk to himself about his life ideals!
Out of anger, Hai'an stayed in the palace and became a female official and the king's lover. He also took the initiative to seduce Ella, and after Sheila and the old king died one after another, she became Malm's stepmother...
"Both you and your mother deserve to die!"
Even if this hatred is taken to the grave, Hai'an will not diminish at all.
