The second marriage of Anne de Beajeu
The second marriage of Anne de Beaujeu

On 1484, seeking to dominate the French court, Mary of Burgundy would do something to the Bourbon husband of Anne de Beaujeu and invite him in a feast and the men would be instructed to give him a wine barrel to drink, which will cause Anne’s husband, Peter II of Bourbon to die, after the death of Peter II of Bourbon, Anne de Beaujeu and her son, Charles, Duke of Clermont were told to stay in the court of her brother, not knowing the plans of Mary of Burgundy to her, which is to marry her to the young future King of England and to get rid of her own influence in the French court.



Seeking to continue the Anglo-Castillan alliance the marriage of Joanna would be with Richard of Shrewsburry who is second line to the throne.



Mary of Burgundy would sign a marriage contract between Anne, Princess of France and the Prince of Wales, Edward which would cause Anne de Beaujeu forced to be married to the future Edward V, which would nullify his current betrothal with Joanna of Spain, Anne de Beaujeu was shocked due to the plans of the Queen as she is very cunning in the court and she would comply to the demands to marry Edward on 1485 which she would accept and leave her son Charles in the French court, Anne de Beaujeu and Edward V would have two children, Edward of England b. June 4, 1486 , Richard of England b. May 2, 1489 and Margaret of England b. November 2, 1491, she would dominate her husband in the affairs of English court.



On 1493, Charles VIII would learn of the Deceit of his Queen Mary of Burgundy and she proved to be a strong woman who is a force to be of reckoned with and Charles VIII would refuse to bed with the Decietful Queen, Mary of Burgundy after 1494 and decided to nullify his marriage but it would never happen as he would die on 1498, after a victorious game and when he was drinking, unknowingly it was believed that his weary Queen Mary of Burgundy would put poison on his cup.



Now, a widow for the second time, Mary of Burgundy would arrange the coronation of her second son, Louis XII, who is now fourteen years old and engaged with Anne of Brittany who is now twenty one and he would marry Anne of Brittany as they are engaged due to Anne of Brittany having no choice of man to marry.



Mary of Burgundy would be glad that she is the mother of two kings, she would leave the French court in order to go her favorite son, Philip II, the King of the Romans and his wife, Elizabeth of Bohemia and the two realms would be at peace and would sign with the Burgundian Estates the division of the Burgundian estates on her own death according the finalized treaty of Arras, although it would be really be finalized after her death and Mary of Burgundy would advise her own Emperor son when she had settled in Austria on the court of her eldest son.

Columbus
Columbus

Columbus had sought an audience from the monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, who had united several kingdoms in the Iberian Peninsula by marrying and were ruling together. On 1 May 1486, permission having been granted, Columbus presented his plans to Queen Isabella, who, in turn, referred it to a committee. After the passing of much time, the savants of Spain, like their counterparts in Portugal, replied that Columbus had grossly underestimated the distance to Asia. They pronounced the idea impractical and advised their Royal Highnesses to pass on the proposed venture.



However, to keep Columbus from taking his ideas elsewhere, and perhaps to keep their options open, the Catholic Monarchs gave him an annual allowance of 12,000 maravedis and, in 1489, furnished him with a letter ordering all cities and towns under their domain to provide him food and lodging at no cost.



After continually lobbying at the Spanish court and two years of negotiations, he finally had success in January 1492. Ferdinand and Isabella had just conquered Granada, the last Muslim stronghold on the Iberian Peninsula, and they received Columbus in Córdoba, in the Alcázar castle. Isabella turned him down on the advice of her confessor. Columbus was leaving town by mule in despair when Ferdinand intervened. Isabella then sent a royal guard to fetch him, and Ferdinand later claimed credit for being "the principal cause why those islands were discovered".



In the April 1492 "Capitulations of Santa Fe", King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella promised Columbus that if he succeeded he would be given the rank of Admiral of the Ocean Sea and appointed Viceroy and Governor of all the new lands he could claim for Spain. He had the right to nominate three persons, from whom the sovereigns would choose one, for any office in the new lands. He would be entitled to 10 percent of all the revenues from the new lands in perpetuity. Additionally, he would also have the option of buying one-eighth interest in any commercial venture with the new lands and receive one-eighth of the profits.



Columbus was later arrested in 1500 and dismissed from his posts. He and his sons, Diego and Fernando, then conducted a lengthy series of court cases against the Castilian crown, known as the pleitos colombinos, alleging that the Crown had illegally reneged on its contractual obligations to Columbus and his heirs.



During, 1504, Ferdinand of Aragon would die and Isabella would give Diego and Fernando settlements for the castillan crown.

On AD 2000, the two romance fiction authors Kathryn Gregory and Joanna Rowling would talk about the Queen of England who was also the Duchess of Bourbon on her talks and how she married her own sister in law to Edward V and killed the first husband of her sister in law and her own husband.

Kathryn Gregory

“It seems that, Mary of Burgundy, who is the Queen of France sought to influence the French court by getting rid of Anne de Beaujeu.”

Joanna Rowling

“We could not be sure that Mary of Burgundy killed two men in her family, she also preferred the kids of her first husband and remained with her Emperor Son until her death in 1519, she is similar to Queen Isabella of Castile, she is also beautiful and powerful.”

Kathryn Gregory

“The marriage of Anne of France and Edward V blocked the spanish marriage of Edward V although it went to his own brother, Richard.”

Joanna Rowling

“Anne of France is a very influential figure on the French and English courts and both the French and English monarchs are descendants of her.”

Kathryn Gregory

“Mary of Burgundy might have given Anne of France a favor.”
