  Scotland and England, while institutionally similar, are actually very different.

  For example, the nobles. In England, the nobles were almost completely deprived of their personal attachment to the peasants, and the taxation and management rights in the territory, as well as judicial power, were all included in the king\'s command.

   Even building castles and owning private soldiers are restricted.

   Except for the counties and duchies directly under the royal family, the rights held by other nobles are basically shared by local courts, hundred-household districts, and various committees.

That is to say, in addition to playing prestige in their own manors, and using their accumulated influence in the local area to transfer rights, if they want more rights, they can only submit to the king and take up official positions. Or become a member of the House of Lords.

  Scotland is different, it does not have the War of the Roses in England, the nobles do not have a lot of self-mutilation, so the nobles are still entrenched in the local area, and even have their own armed forces.

  Hundreds of years of accumulated contacts and relationships, coupled with a large amount of land and dependent farmers, and armed with their own private forces, the nobility is the biggest limit to the Scottish kingship.

  So, in the face of the same huge Catholic Church, none of the Scottish nobles were afraid of the power of the Church, or of tarnishing God. Instead, they opened their **** mouths one after another and aimed at the Church.

  Anyway, in the eyes of these Scottish nobles, the king can sell it for profit, not to mention the church around him?

  The voices of various discussions in the hall were endless, the decibels were extremely loud, and the nobles did not hide their opinions at all. The servants guarding the door felt that their eardrums were about to explode, which was extremely uncomfortable.

  However, worthy of being a noble with a long history, the Baron Danfries family has lived in Danfries for nearly three hundred years, longer than the Stuart royal family.

  The nobles near the town of Danfries could ignore the royal family, but Baron Danfries called and immediately ran over.

  The barons in Scotland are different from the barons in England, and the barons in Scotland are also called "Lords who enter Parliament".

   That is to say, the Scottish baron can directly enter the Scottish Parliament, while the nobles of England can only enter the Parliament when they are summoned by the king.

  From this, we can see the status of Baron Danfries.

  So, amidst the discussion among the crowd, a slightly fat figure walked in slowly, quietly, with very little movement.

  But the discussion crowd suddenly calmed down, and their eyes immediately turned to Baron Danfries. A humble smile was immediately put on his face, and he bent down.

   It can be seen from this that although they were talking in their mouths, their attention was always on the door, waiting for Baron Danfries.

   "Your Excellency the Baron—"

   More than 20 people greeted loudly in an orderly manner, appearing extraordinarily imposing in the entire hall.

   "Hehe! Everyone, everyone, relax, feel free, feel free!"

   Baron Danfries looked at the many lords and knights who bowed and bowed with a smile, nodded slightly, and said amiably.

  For those who don’t know, looking at him, he looks like an uncle next door, which is very heartwarming.

  But all the knights and jazz became more nervous one by one. Following the steps of the baron, their bodies and eyes moved slowly.

  As His Excellency the Baron sat down gently, everyone raised their bodies slightly, straightened up, and looked directly at his fat face.

   Of the twenty-five people who came here, three knights and twenty-two knights, the knights were all vassals of Baron Danfries, while the three knights were offshoots of his family.

   It can be said that these are his subordinates, and they all have to listen to him.

   To be more precise, the 100 miles centered on Danfries Town, 52 villages, one town, and a population of more than 10,000 people are all under his rule.

   "Everyone, I called everyone to come today because I have something to say!"

   Baron Danfries sat on a seat full of carvings, glanced at everyone, pondered for a while, and then said.

  As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately showed an appearance of listening, extremely serious.

   "A few days ago, I had a discussion with Priest Hobbs. Regarding the peaceful reform proposal in response to Edinburgh\'s call, the priest completely disagreed and even threatened! This is very distressing!"

   "My lord, doesn\'t Priest Hobbes know that this change is already going on in Edinburgh, and in the whole of Scotland?"

   Baron Danfries had just finished speaking, a tall, thin middle-aged man immediately came over and exclaimed, it seemed unbelievable.

   After all, although Baron Danfries also wanted to plunder the church\'s teaching property, this kind of peaceful method is still relatively rare. Compared with other places, at least something can be left.

  So, not only him, everyone present was very angry at what Priest Hobbs said.

   It is generally believed that Priest Hobbes did not know good from bad.

   But they don\'t know, isn\'t this blatant robbery even more excessive?

  But was directly ignored by this group of nobles, directly ignored.

   "My lord, Edinburgh has sent people to urge you, and the nobles in several nearby counties are dissatisfied with your delay in taking action!"

   At this moment, a gentle-looking jazz stepped forward and whispered to the baron.

  Suddenly, a smile flashed across the faces of the people below, and they recovered immediately, and became expressionless again.

  Hearing these words, Baron Danfries frowned slightly. This is not good news.

At the same time, a member of the nobles also went through the negotiations with the King of England in Edinburgh. Of course, Danfries knew that religious reform was not only one of the conditions for peace between Scotland and England, but also the beginning of the gluttonous feast of the Scottish nobles. Anyone violated.

   This is the collective interest of the nobles, and he doesn\'t want to be that public enemy.

   "Willie Knight, I wonder how the boys under me are doing now?"

  After thinking for a while, weighing the pros and cons, and looking at the expressions of everyone below, Baron Danfries finally made up his mind.

  Willie is a muscular man with a few scars on his face, which seems to prove that his size is not to be judged!

   "Your Excellency the Baron, since the English left not long ago, two hundred young men have been practicing recently, and they have made great progress. They are ready for a battle!"

  Willie took a step, looked at Baron Danfries, and said carelessly, with a confident expression on his face.

   "My lord, I can send out twenty farmers and soldiers!"

   "I can also send troops!"

   "I\'ll take thirty farmers and soldiers too!"

  ...

  The knights below saw His Excellency the Baron\'s brilliant display of strength, and they all understood that the Baron was reminding them to hurry up.

   What\'s more, with their efforts, there must be benefits waiting for them. Your Excellency the Baron cannot make it all by himself.

  So, for the sake of profit, sacrificing the lives of those humble peasants is completely worthwhile.

  The knights actively reported the number of troops they sent, and the atmosphere in the hall became lively again.

   After a few minutes, Baron Danfries counted. Combined, there are a total of 1,000 farmers and soldiers, plus his 200 elite soldiers, this operation can be said to be sure.

   At this time, a meeting was also being held in Danfries Cathedral.
