We're over the election. We have a fresh president-elect. any are happy, others are sad. I would like to compose about something another than current politics. What's better? King and hereditary regulation or democracy and temporary elections? Genes or elections? What better results? Do you trust in the origins of a good king to make a good ruler, or do you choose to regulation in the general vote? What's safer? A blind lottery at quantum level or a human mass election? People who mostly know what they decide? Who are susceptible to influence and manipulation? They're incompetent. The paradox of democracy. What's better? What's worse?
A device that is by definition incorrect or defectively built cannot function well. Is it blind destiny or the decision of fools? Let's see how household relationships work. Example: Philip IV Beautiful (1268 - 1314) King of France from the Kapeting dynasty since 1285. 1 of the most prominent rulers of France in its long history. Throughout his reign, Philip IV led continuous and victorious wars. He defeated King Edward I of England and practically kicked the English out of France. large success, for a large part of France has been in hereditary regulation of the kings of England since the time of Eleonora Aquitaine (1122 - 1204). He conquered the richest country in Europe at the time - Flanders - present-day Belgium and the Netherlands. It has led to the unification of France within the limits of very close today. The same was done by kings of the Bourbon dynasty in the 17th century. Philip IV has surpassed his time by 300 years! He broke the power of the barons. To call the then French greats, barons – ravens, is to say nothing. The Barons, indeed, recognized the king, but as the first of equal. They besides felt that they had a sacred right to do what they liked in their possessions, including the tracts of neighbouring powers. Philip IV convinced them that it would be better for them to perceive to him. He had strong arguments. Woe to those who disobeyed.
Philip IV made France super powerful in Europe. He surrounded France with a wreath of castles to safe its borders. Powerful politics: wars, armies, building fortresses, required quite a few gold. As always. Power is simply a very costly luxury. Philip IV imposed many fresh taxes on peasants, townspeople and even large men. From the bottom to the top of the social ladder, the French kneeled in the voice of the king and his taxes. shortly they were to see that it was better to pay for their army than for others, and that Philip’s regulation and his taxes were not so bad. Philip IV did not forget strangers: he charged rich Jews and pawnshop bankers with large taxes. erstwhile they didn't pay, he confiscated their assets without mercy. But it wasn't enough. So he reached into the pocket of the church, imposing taxes on the clergy and getting into a fierce dispute with Pope Bonifacy III (ruled: 1294 - 1303). Pope Bonifacy III was even going to excommunicate Philip IV, and he did not make it, due to the fact that he had to flee Rome after the revolt of local barons. He died soon. In these events, Philip IV most likely drenched his long hands. Philip IV took his revenge cruelly. After the Pope died, he ordered Boniface III's corpse to be extracted and burned at the stake as a heretic!
The next Pope, Clement V (power from 1306 - 1314), brought to France and settled in Avignon. Supposedly to guarantee his safety, in fact to control Papacy. The so - called Babylonian (or Avignonian) Papacy (1307 - 1377) began with Philip IV, which brought large harm to Papacy and to the full Catholic Church, but for France it brought large benefits. 1 of the fewer bright points in France's tragic past of the 14th century.
Philip IV then focused his attention on the Templar order. The Order of the mediocre Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon was formed in Jerusalem in 1118 to defend Christian pilgrims. It was created by knights coming mainly from France as a ‘French’ order. Their competitors and rivals - Joannics was a "Italian" order, while besides well known to us Teutonic Knights – it was a German order. 2 centuries later after the fall of Jerusalem and the liquidation of Christian states in the Holy Land, the Knights Templars of the Order of the mediocre The knights focused on global trade and finance - lending to powerful and wealthy - creating the first always over-national corp or trust financially - commercial. Only this adjective: The mediocre no longer fit, for the Templars were celebrated for their legendary riches. 1 of their biggest debtors was King Philip IV of France. Templars were to see how dangerous it was to lend gold to rulers. Philip never thought to pay his debts. Rather, he dreamed of the treasures of the Templars. In agreement with Pope Clement V, he accused the Templars of heresy. He led to the erasure of the order.
1 day Philip's officials entered all the Templars' Commandery in France arresting the highest rank knights and seeking the treasures of the Order. The action against the Templars was commanded by Philip's closest associate, lawyer and advisor - Guillaume de Nogaret. Unfortunately, Templar vaults appear to be empty. To this day there are legends about hidden treasures of Templars they search throughout Europe, including us. I don't believe in these legends. Why? Philip IV was preparing for his actions. respective twelve of the most crucial knights of the Order, including the large master James de Molay, were subjected to sophisticated torture. First, to confess to heresy and blasphemy. Second, to uncover the location of the treasure. The best masters in the profession were chosen for torture. These days, there were outstanding experts in the field of torment. No 1 can stand the torment. Well, maybe, 1 in 10 thousand. If the knights, including the large master himself, had obediently confessed to heresy, they would have besides revealed the hiding places of treasures if they had known them. Yes, any tiny remnants of Templar treasures may have been hidden somewhere, but the main Templar vaults proved to be empty. A sad disappointment to King Philip IV of France.
Another explanation. Templars, like all financiers, know well that money earns erstwhile it travels. It's not worth keeping the gold in the box. They should be protected, guarded, paid for by the guard, it costs money, so gold loses value. On the contrary borrowed; gold earns and multiplys. Anyway, Philip IV did not feed on the treasures of Templars. But the hidden debt and bills could have been burned in the fireplace. another Templar debtors across Europe have done the same with relief. It's always good erstwhile you don't gotta pay your own debts, due to the fact that your debtors, let's just say, go to hell.
Jacques de Molay (born 1243), or James de Molay, the last large champion of the Templar Order was burned at the stake in Paris on 18 or 19 March 1314. He was over 70 years old, a beautiful age then, but death cruel. He had previously appealed the confession to heresy and blasphemy as being forced by torture. King Philip IV Beautiful himself watched the execution. Then a celebrated event occurred. Before the flames covered the stake and the large master could yet speak, James de Molay shouted his curse, a prophecy of his executioners: Avant un an, je vous mention à paraître au Tribunal de Dieu... (Richard Wilhelm, King Philip, Pope Clement! Before the year passes, we will meet at the Court of God!). Knight Wilhelm is Guillaume de Nogaret - the king's chief advisor, absolutely devoted to him, oversaw the liquidation of the order, arrest, torture and punishment of the Templars. Philip IV's reaction was characteristic. After Jacob de Molay was burned, he confessed that he had failed. A unusual confession to this ruler. What mistake? They were asked carefully.
- I'm sorry. He should have told him to pull out his tongue! – he said cold.
Yes, shortly King Philip and Pope Clement died. However, it is reported that knight Wilhelm, this is Guillaume de Nogaret, had died before the execution of the large master. In any case, it will not change the legend of the curse of Jacob de Molay, who began to act quickly. shortly after the large master was burned in the royal court, a large scandal, like a bomb, and it's an atomic bomb. The biggest crisis in the past of the French burden crown has consequences for Europe as a whole.
One thing worth saying about King Philip IV. He wore the nickname Beautiful, and indeed he was a very beautiful or handsome man. And he was king of France! And it was truly better to perceive to him. Those who opposed him bitterly ended their lives. Couldn't be better?! Philip IV, by his customs, was far from the multitude of another French kings who treated their court or gave their court as a royal Christian harem. Philip had 1 wife, Joanne. I think he truly loved her and was faithful to her, just like she was alive after she died in 1305. peculiar to the king, especially the French king.
Joanna gave birth to 7 children, 3 of whom died as a child. It's just an average thing these days. 4 of them grew up and reached for the crown. 3 sons became kings of France. The oldest is Louis X Disputable, what a distinctive nickname. Born in 1289, Louis X ruled after his father's garbage from 1314 to 1316. Second son: Philip IV High. Born 1293, he reigned from 1316 to 1322. He's tall. The most capable ruler of the sons of Philip IV. The youngest son: Charles IV, Beautiful (1294 - 1328). He reigned six years, 1322-1326. Charles wore the nickname Beautiful, but that's all he had in common with his father. individual beauty. Charles was dumb, stubborn, vindictive. Weak and powerful. He always had to have individual in charge. 3 kings in 14 years. 1 is 2 years, 2 is six years old. It's like 3 presidents with a tenure of about 5 years.
Philip's 4th child, daughter of Isabella French. Born in 1295, it was released for Edward II of the Plantagenet family. As Queen of England, she reigned from 1307 to 1328. Dreamy dynastic marriage. The only daughter of the king of France – Isabella is marrying the boy and successor of King Edward of England. She becomes Queen of England. That's a large plus. Of course! And there are problem in the royal families, and there are black sheep. And black nights. Edward II fathered 4 children with Isabella with self-denial and then refused to execute his marital duties. He was more curious in beautiful and young boys. It's an English tradition. Edward II was a weak, influential and his male "loved" ruler. Edward's favorites actually ruled England. Dangerous weakness with a female as strong as Isabella. She waited for the right time and found the right lover – it was Baron Roger Mortimer - Isabella threw a coup in September 1326. She imprisoned Edward II and his current favorite. After cruel torture, the favourite was beheaded in the Tower, and Edward II was imprisoned in 1 of the castles. He was forced to abdicate to his boy – Edward III. After which, in 1317, Edward II was murdered by the order of Isabella and her lover Mortimer.
The English called Isabella Wilczyca from France. Of all the sons of Philip, Isabella proved to be the best ruler. Unfortunately for France, Queen of England. Let us return to the events of 1314 and the top scandal in France's history. Shortly after Jacob de Molay was burned, a large scandal broke out at the royal court called the Nesle Tower affair. The wives of 3 sons of Philip: Margaret Burgundy – wife of Louis, Blanka Burgundy – wife of Charles and Joanna Burgundy – wife of Philip committed treason and adultery with squires, Gautier brothers and Philip d'Aunay. Adultery or orgies were to take place in the Nesle Tower, close the Louvre. The betrayal was detected and proved to Isabella's father. I'm certain she liked her sister-in-law very much.
It was a large shock for Philip the Beautiful. He said to investigate. Gautier and Philip were arrested and tortured. They sang everything as in holy confession. The adultery of Margaret and Blanka was shown. Joanna was cleared of the charge of treason, but it was shown that she knew about her brother - in - law conduct and helped them. possibly it was her husband Philip, realizing the consequences, who pulled the strings, "believed in her innocence," and saved his wife and his position. Gautier and Philip d'Aunay were sentenced to cruel death. During a public execution, the executioners cut off their wildlife to the joy of joy, then skinned them alive, at the end of the fold. But they were nobles. The d'Aunay brothers should have known that orgies with princesses could be very, very bad to end. Margaret and Blanca, as the whores were shaved bald and imprisoned in locks - prisons for the remainder of their days on bread and water.
The Nesle Tower affair is an earthquake of the French monarchy. Philip IV Beautiful in deciding to uncover the scandal and public executions of squires has effectively ended the reign of the Capeting dynasty, which has ruled France for 3 centuries. The long-standing daughter-in-law's harlot challenged the industrious origin and right to the throne of the children of Louis and Margaret and Charles and Blanka. Philip and Joanna only had daughters. So his sons entered the throne of France after Philip IV, and his brothers Louis, Philip, and Charles. The real problem occurred after the death of the last of them, Charles IV, in 1328. Charles IV was married 3 times, but he had only daughters. erstwhile he died, his last wife was pregnant. Waiting for a solution. A girl was born. The problem arose: who is to take the throne of France? The steam or equal king of the large barons had large problem and headache.
Her claim was presented by Isabella, a French wolf, on behalf of her boy Edward III. She argued straight. She is the daughter of Philip IV, and Edward her son, or grandson of Philip. So Edward III is the rightful heir to Philip IV. Edward III should take the throne of France and in 1 individual unite the kingdoms of England and France.
The French barons could not agree to this. They formally referred to the Salitic Law. 1 of the scholars and service lawyers invented this casus from the old yearbooks. According to the Salat law, the inheritance of the French throne always follows the male line. Which ruled out Isabella and her boy Edward. The English Members had a legitimate question:
- I'm sorry. Aren't the kings of France born of women?
Their protests were quietly omitted. The Barons were very pleased with the king of France by Philip de Valois, who took the name Philip VI, called Happy (1293 - 1350). Philip de Valois was the boy of Charles de Valois—the younger brother of Philip IV, and thus was his nephew. In France the reign of the fresh dynasty - the Valois - began. Philip was called happy, for he was very happily chosen to be king. He besides became king due to the fact that his aunts were happy years ago with squires, and his uncle proclaimed it lice and before. The reign of Happy Philip VI was not happiness for France. Edward III did not consider his loser or the legacy of the throne of France to be over. After long preparations 10 years later, Edward III declared war on France in 1337. A war called a 100 years began. The war continued (with interruptions, truces) truly for 117 years (1337 - 1453). A war fought in the territory of France, which carried the French into utter misery and destruction. It's a bad gag to give King Philip VI the nickname Happy. On 26 August 1346 2 armies met in fields close Crécy, in the north of France. The English army was commanded by Edward III, 3 times as many as the French army King Philip VI. After the battle, casualties were counted. The English have lost respective hundred, with over a 1000 soldiers, The French have respective 1000 and their army has been destroyed. King Philip VI fled the battlefield. In 1347 the Black Death, a plague epidemic, reached Marseille, south of France. It's all over the country. After that, after jumping over the canal of La Manche, Black Death destroyed the population of France as much as England. The estimated percent of dead in both countries is 50% to 60% of the population.
That's how it happens. It's hard and it's a long climb. From the top to the road, easy and fast. From the tallness of power behind Philip IV to the bottom of the fall around 1350 is about 40 years. Those who remembered remembered the reign of Philip IV as a period of happiness, peace and abundance. War and the scariest plague epidemic in history. Far-reaching and unpredictable are the effects of fornication and fornication of royal princesses. It may not be fashionable, but women aren't men but without penises and testicles. Women have babies. I know the truth. Sometimes you should be like the obvious. The Nesle Tower scandal proves who the baby's father is and how it matters. regular events show that in ordinary, not royal families, too. Mother's sure. Father? Who's the father and who isn't? We have DNA tests, the ability to check, the facts. In the 14th century, they had suspicions. It was adequate to change history.
Is Philip IV Beautiful guilty of the outbreak of the 100 Years' War? Yes and no. He did everything he could to avoid this war, or to prepare France for it. But if he hadn't given his daughter up for Edward II? If he hadn't caused a scandal by announcing to everyone that his sons' wives were to... I urge a series of historical novels about these events: the Kings of Curses. Written by Maurice Druon. It's much better about boring fairy tales in dumb serial tapeworms like Game of Thrones.
You can see how a genetic lottery works. Fathers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, cousins, cousins. The kings are distinguished and poor. Strong and weak. Smart and stupid. Why are there no rules here? By a genetic lottery. How women willingly support this raffle through their (innate) infidelity. They have an excuse. They're looking for the best genetic material for their children. Husband, e.g. prince advanced social position, young beautiful lover good genes. Sometimes they pay for it. Not much.
The case not only governs in quantum mechanics, for example erstwhile breaking and forming bonds in double-helix DNA. At this crucial point, erstwhile the parent and father's DNA thread merges into a fresh quality, a unique kid code, but besides a lifetime. Who we meet. Who we love. To whom we associate our lives. The communicative of Philip IV Beautiful, his children and grandchildren shows a case where everything went wrong. And then worse than bad. And then so bad it couldn't have been worse. I guess. It can almost always get worse.
Or is it the curse of the large Templar Master James de Molay? The death of King Philip, Pope Clement, the fall of the dynasty, the 100-year war, the pandemic of Black Death? Random legacy. Random election. possibly it's not a choice between hereditary king and president by choice. The case rules. Although we're trying to forget it.
