It turned out to be Richard the Lionheart in history.
What a powerful servant.
Vlad III looked at this noble king, and his heart was filled with joy.
The legend of King Arthur is too far away, but the legend of King Richard the Lion-Hearted is very close to him, and the time gap between the two is not too far away.
Richard the Lionheart is the second king of the Plantagenet dynasty. Plantagenet is the name in Britain. In France, it is the Angevin Empire, which includes the Duke of Aquitaine, the Duke of Normandy, the Duke of Anjou, the King of England, With titles such as Earl of Mann, Count of Poitou, and King of Ireland, his territory stretched from England to the Pyrenees Mountains at the junction of France and Spain, covering an area larger than the territory of the nominal monarch, the King of France.
As a vassal, his strength is actually greater than that of a lord, and the gap between the lord and his ministers has reached the point where they dominate.
Richard the "Lionheart" was also King Richard I of England, but in fact during the 10 years that Richard I was king, he only returned to England twice, which totaled no more than half a year. Moreover, Richard had been in England since he was a child. When the King of England grew up in France, there are even records that he did not speak a word of English.
As a king in the Middle Ages, he must first be a qualified knight. Therefore, in real history, compared to King Arthur as a knight in literary works, Richard the Lionheart was the most gorgeous and noble flower of knights in that era, the king of knights. The knight among kings.
Although he was king for only ten years, except for his coronation and being captured and returned to his country, Richard the Lionheart only stayed in the UK for less than half a year, but just like people liked and worshiped King Arthur, they also liked this Lionheart who was fighting outside all year round. Richard Wang had the same reason.
Richard the Lionheart was the God of War. When Saladin captured Jerusalem and many cities in the Mediterranean, it caused a shock throughout Europe. With the efforts of the Pope, the three most powerful monarchs in Europe finally put aside their conflicts and swore to participate in the Eastern Crusade. .
This is the Kaiser Redbeard Frederick I, King Philip II of France and King Richard I of England.
Kaiser Friedrich drowned in a mountain stream in Asia Minor in June 1190. After capturing the city of Acre on the east coast of the Mediterranean, King Philip II of France returned home first because of the uneven distribution of the spoils. Only Richard had been fighting with Saladin's army and played an organizational and leadership role in this eastern expedition.
This is a God of War king who faced many pig teammates during the Crusades, but insisted on being on the front line.
"Excuse me, are you my master!"
Richard the Lionheart looked at William and asked, but he did not get the answer he wanted, "I am not, you have found the wrong person."
William's words made the whole scene a little awkward for a while. Although Richard the Lion-Hearted was the king of England, the Plantagenet Dynasty, also known as the Angevin Dynasty and the Angevin Empire, was also regarded as a local dynasty in French history. France is also well-known, and the spiritual base built from it can be said to be exceptional.
"Why?" Richard the Lionheart asked depressedly.
"You fake saber, faker!" William said rudely.
Unbelievable, unbelievable, this is definitely not because he is angry because he did not summon William the Conqueror, but because he is angry at his own denial.
Although William was deposed by King Arthur and lost the throne and believed that he was not unfit to hold the throne, he was full of confidence in himself and believed that he could change the future.
Therefore, he wanted to prove himself by summoning William the Conqueror, the heroic king on the Throne of Heroes.
William I was not a good king, it was just the prejudice of the English. In the eyes of the French, perhaps William the Conqueror was a good king.
However, the fact is that the perfect successor to King Arthur was not William I the Conqueror at all, but Richard the Lionheart, who only stayed in England for less than half a year in his 42-year life.
"Danik, do you know? Yu, I am in a very happy mood today!" Vlad III said to Danik beside him.
"Really?" Danik looked at the two people who were arguing strangely. He felt strange. It was indeed the nature of a child.
Although he did not summon the servant he wanted and used the Sword in the Stone to summon King Arthur, the summoned King Richard the Lionheart was also a very powerful and exceptional servant. Because of the presence of Michael's holy flag, the territory that King Richard the Lionheart set foot on It will be regarded as the French mainland, and the spiritual base it has built is also considerable.
Of course, it would be better if it was in the UK. After all, Richard the Lionheart is actually more famous in the UK.
It was really childish to get into trouble just because King Arthur was not summoned but Richard the Lionheart was summoned.
"Danic. Yu, I have spent half my life trying to protect this country from the Turks. Although Yu properly handles all the government affairs that the king can do, I still have regrets."
Vlad III felt Darnic's absent-mindedness, but in his excited state at this time, he didn't care at all about this offense.
"What exactly is that?" Darnik noticed Vlad III's question at this time and quickly replied.
"That's "people". The resistance is at its peak and the Turks have wiped out the Eastern Roman Empire. Yu spends his life commanding the army. At the same time, he has to beware of the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Holy Roman Empire behind it. Yu will do everything Spending time fighting and winning, nothing else can be done. It’s not that it’s incompetent, it’s that..."
Vlad III sighed and then said, "Facing a powerful enemy, no matter how hard I try, I am still unable to stand alone. I lack generals and allies who can take charge of my own affairs. If in the past, there were With their help, I wouldn’t be in such a miserable state, and if I had allies, I wouldn’t be in this situation.”
"Richard the Lionheart is enough to be my ally." Vlad III upgraded Richard the Lionheart to the level of his ally. This was not beyond Danik's expectation. In a sense, it was even more reasonable. .
The experiences of the two are quite similar, and the resonance they evoke is natural.
For example, Richard the Lionheart became famous because Saladin captured Jerusalem, the holy land of Christian faith, triggering the Third Crusade. After his teammates gave up one after another, he organized an army to fight against the Crescent Church and tried to take back Jerusalem. He fought for his faith. The battle record was brilliant, and even Saladin and others had to admire his bravery.
Vlad III's fame came from fighting against the Ottoman Empire. Mehmed II destroyed the Byzantine Empire. Vlad III defeated Mehmed II in the Battle of Targoviste, so he was feared by his enemies and his own people. , he is also defending his beliefs.
Richard the Lionheart was arrested by his Christian brother Leopold V, Duke of Austria, and handed over to the Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI. He was imprisoned and tried. In the end, the people of England paid a large ransom for his king before he escaped.
He was also placed under house arrest by the King of Bohemia, causing his wife to commit suicide by jumping off a building. Both were betrayed by Christian brothers of the same faith.
Both of them fought for their country and their beliefs, and spent their lives in war.
If the two of them can join forces, they will not suffer the tragic fate that will follow. As kings, they are not good at the power methods of monarchs, but are pure knights.
It is precisely because of their similarities that they understand each other and feel the need to unite.
"Why are you Black's Saber!" Gold couldn't help but ask, if Richard the Lionheart is Black's Saber, then what is his Siegfried?
"Because I used the emperor's privilege!" Lionheart King Richard said slowly, "I think the Saber class is good, so I also want to occupy it, so I will occupy the Saber class with your servant Siegfried. What's wrong? , do you have any opinions?"
Richard the Lionheart glared at Gold and exuded an astonishing aura, "If you don't accept it, let your servants have a duel with me to see who is more suitable for the class of Saber. It will be a matter of life and death."
"Ah, ah, this is not necessary. After all, we are in the same camp."
Gold felt like he was being targeted by a lion, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and said.
What a joke, even if he summoned the servants, his own side would start fighting among themselves.
"Since it's not necessary, just shut up!" Richard the Lionheart said.
Gold's face was not pretty. At this time, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly. He felt that he had been insulted by a mere familiar, but he did not dare to turn his back.
"Is it feasible for two servants to occupy one quota?" Fiore asked in confusion.
"There are some servants who regard two people as one, and can naturally be regarded as the same heroic spirit, such as Gemini. But what I am curious about is that the emperor's privileges can also be achieved by changing ranks?"
Danik spoke slowly. In fact, he was not questioning the emperor's privileges, but he was questioning why Lionheart had the emperor's privileges.
Lionheart was just a king, even though his country was called the Angevin Empire.
Henry I, the third king of the Norman dynasty, passed his throne to his daughter Matilda after his death. Matilda married Geoffroy V of Plantagenet and gave birth to Henry II, the first King of the Plantagenet dynasty.
This is equivalent to when Queen Elizabeth passed the throne to her 70-year-old prince, the queen became the last monarch of the Windsor dynasty, and her son became the new dynasty monarch.
Richard the Lionheart was the son of Henry II.
Matilda's last husband was Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor, but that doesn't mean her grandson Richard is the emperor.
Emperor's privileges are only possessed by emperors, or powerful kings of the non-Christian world.
"I used the Emperor's New Clothes, a noble phantom!"
Lionheart King said slowly, and the scene became awkward for a moment.
