John Perrot, the illegitimate son of Henry VIII and Mary Berkeley, was born in 1527. Afterwards, our flamboyant King went to find another new love, and Mary Berkeley had to take the oil bottle John to marry To a Thomas Perrault of Pembroke.
Of course, it is not clear whether he is Edward with a green hat or something, but his name is still recorded in the royal family.
According to Edward's own deduction, Henry VIII, a very possessive and cheap father, would definitely not let his woman go. This Thomas Perrott is probably Henry VIII's specially arranged successor.
After all, a woman who has children out of wedlock is despised in this era, and it is quite important to have a husband in name.
As for why Edward knew him, it was not until 1547, that is, in the month before Henry VIII's death, that the young man named John Perrault was abruptly canonized as a knight.
In this way, Edward's interest was naturally aroused, and after investigation, the result was naturally clear.
As for worrying about him using his status to fight for the throne, it never occurred to Edward.
The theory of only blood in Europe is not false. As long as the heirs are not born to the noble wife, they have no inheritance rights.
So, in Europe, you will see that a count in his fifties or sixties has no heirs from his main wife, but there are many illegitimate children around him. When he dies, he will still have no heirs.
Including the later Elizabeth I, she knew that her father had many illegitimate children, but she still passed the throne to James I of Scotland, the younger sister of Henry VIII and the descendant of the King of Scotland, and she did not dare to violate the tradition among the nobles.
Therefore, this threat is often not the same as that of the East, and it is close to none.
On the contrary, this kind of illegitimate child, who is not threatening but has a blood relationship, is often the right-hand man that kings like to use.
Seeing that John Perot agreed, Edward nodded, and his eyes were turned to the stupid bear lying on the ground, howling, and he got up, and the whole person was much happier.
In fact, Edward did not know that this illegitimate son, during the Elizabethan period, was appointed as a senior official in the province of Munster, Ireland by Elizabeth I from 1570 to 1573, and returned to England after successfully suppressing the local rebellion in 1573.
In 1584, he was appointed as the representative of the British king in Ireland, that is, the governor of Ireland (1584-1588), and also established a colony for England in the southwestern part of Ireland - Munster.
These all show that this illegitimate son is a very capable person, and his talent is beyond doubt.
However, his personality is also flawed.
In Tudor times, religion was involved in everything, so prepare yourself for bad luck!
The illegitimate son, he was sympathetic to persecuted Catholics and Catholics in Ireland, and also planned to turn St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin into a university.
The result caused dissatisfaction with Adam Loftus, the Archbishop of the Anglican Church in Dublin. The latter falsely accused him of negotiating with Spain for treason in 1588, so he was recalled to the country and died in prison after being sentenced.
Edward will naturally not know the later situation of this illegitimate son, but it is also possible to take care of an illegitimate son of Henry VIII, considering Henry VIII's kindness to him.
Of course, if this is the case with his own strength, if he is a mud that cannot support the wall, then let him continue to maintain it, and continue to live a happy and mediocre life!
Edward turned around quickly in his mind, but his eyes focused on the two guards.
Although the brown bear hugged its head and wailed, lying on the ground and did not get up, the two guards still couldn't help complaining about His Majesty's order.
This is a bear! Although it is relatively small, it is indeed a bear, but it can eat people.
However, His Majesty's orders must be followed.
Thus, the two guards took the hemp rope used to bind the prey on the horse's back in their hands, trembling, and carefully watched the black figure in front of them, approaching step by step.
The stupid bear lying on the ground seemed to feel the danger, struggling to get up, but the body was still lying on the ground obediently, and did not get up according to its wishes.
As the two guards approached, the howling of the brown bear became more and more tragic.
And it seemed that they had discovered the brown bear's strong exterior, but the two guards boldly pulled up the rope carefully. Two thick hemp ropes were wrapped round and round to tie up the weak and stupid bear tightly. Reality.
Edward approached boldly, took a dead branch, and touched the big stupid bear.
Stupid bear found someone poking it, and quickly raised his head. Seeing that the creature had turned into legs again, he was a little scared, but he still held his head upright and roared at Edward.
Unfortunately, I don't know if I haven't eaten enough, or I have no energy, so the roar has become cute, as if I am showing off my sharp teeth.
Unfortunately, the teeth in the mouth are uneven, yellow, missing, and even incomplete. The old look is a bitter bear.
Seeing this, Edward smiled unscrupulously, walked up to the stupid bear unscrupulously, and poked the stupid bear's head vigorously with a branch.
Watching the stupid bear open its mouth with a headache, Edward laughed out loud. From now on, I will also have a pet bear.
"Sir, seeing that this brown bear is so thin and full of scars, I think it was probably driven out by the male bear from the female bear!"
Besides, John Perot also focused his eyes on the brown bear, seeing it covered in scars, turned his head, looked at Edward with dark blue eyes, and said softly.
Regarding this, Edward nodded in approval. This is the only way to explain the situation.
Cubs usually stay with their mother for about four years before they can basically learn hunting skills.
Judging from the appearance of this stupid bear, I am afraid that it is not yet four years old, and judging from its injured appearance, it is likely that the male bear drove it away from the female bear for mating, and thus got injured.
"Indeed, it's very possible!" Edward nodded in approval of his guess, "You can call me Edward!"
"You can also call me John!" John smiled, with a hint of sincerity in his eyes.
Edward also smiled when he saw this.
On the other side, two guards pulled the brown bear lying on the ground, trying to help it up, but the stupid bear lay stubbornly on the ground, refusing to move even a bit.
Two young guards pulled and pulled, but they couldn't pull the stupid bear up. In the end, they could only prepare a wooden raft, tie it to it, and drag it behind the horse.
Edward's mind flashed, and he took out an oiled paper bag from his pocket. When he opened it, there were small pieces of smoked beef inside, which is also good as a snack.
He squeezed a small piece of beef jerky with two fingers, put it in front of the stupid bear's nose, and kept shaking it.
But Clumsy Bear sniffed hard with his black and paint-discolored nose, his disdainful eyes suddenly straightened, and his body also rose up with the jerky, slowly rising up, finally, the whole body abruptly disappeared. Standing up, staring blankly at the beef jerky in Edward's hand, he opened his mouth wide, drooling.
The two guards immediately tightened the hemp rope in their hands, fearing that His Majesty the King would be accidentally hurt.
All the people next to him looked at Edward stupidly, and the stupid bear in front of him looked back and forth between the two, unable to stop their surprise.
Edward looked at the greedy stupid bear in front of him, smiled, and threw the jerky in his hand into its mouth.
The stupid bear immediately closed his mouth tightly, swallowed it, and continued to open his mouth, his mouth was drooling, his hind legs kicked forward, and his body moved forward, like a silly dog, begging for food from its owner.
Edward had a smile in his eyes, and carefully touched the head of the stupid bear. The stupid bear didn't care, and his round eyes were still wide open, looking at the beef jerky in Edward's hand.
Seeing this, after touching the head, Edward gave another piece of jerky, and then touched the head again, then dried the meat, and continued back and forth.
After about ten minutes, Edward no longer chose to touch his head, but pointed down, and said in his mouth: "Sit down—"
Ben Xiong looked at Edward in puzzlement, his eyes were full of doubts, and his eyes focused on the jerky in Edward's hand again.
Ed continued to point down and ordered: "Sit down—"
"sit down-"
Stupid Bear looked at the jerky in Edward's hand, then at Edward's hand, and squatted back cautiously, but his mouth was still drooling.
"Good—" Edward patted its head, and fed it a piece of jerky as a reward.
Big Clumsy Bear didn't think too much, and swallowed it very happily, and then steamed from his nostrils again, drooling and looking at Edward, staring at his jerky.
"Go—" "Go—"
"Sit down—" "Sit down—"
"Stand up—" "Stand up—"
Just like that, Edward took a bag of jerky and trained back and forth for nearly half an hour, and Edward didn't stop until the jerky was gone.
Seeing the silly bear with its tongue sticking out in front of him, Edward couldn't stop his complacency: Drip! Your pet bear has been accepted
