The outcome of the Black Manta is actually quite unremarkable. It is the plot of a typical American blockbuster, full of personal heroism and romanticism. The protagonist resolves the crisis after taking risks that seem to be hard but actually takes risks without any danger.
However, things are still a bit dangerous, and Kama Taj is almost over.
Because the Atlantis are not as reliable as they imagined, they always do some tricks on some minor matters.
For example, when Atlanta recalled Arthur and returned to the Kingdom of Atlantis.
Arthur and the Atlantis broke out in fierce conflict. There was no way. Atlanta could never let the people accept their son. The higher the upper class, the more they opposed Arthur. They were willing to let Oum come back, but they were unwilling to let a mixed-race hybrid rule them.
The reason is very simple. For the upper class, they think that their blood ties are closer to the throne than Arthur. In this case, they will never accept such a low blood gangster to become their king.
It was as if the feudal lords of ancient Europe could not accept the inheritance of the throne by illegitimate sons.
Of course, more importantly, Arthur had no roots in the Kingdom of Atlantis.
Just like some ancient European nobles and monarchs had to declare their heirs if they had illegitimate children. In the early days of European civilization, before the establishment of Christianity, and when the Roman Empire, inheritance did not depend entirely on blood ties. Not to mention illegitimate children, even nephews, nephews, adopted sons, those with blood ties but not blood ties can be used as the emperor's heirs and will not affect the inheritance of the dynasty.
The first factor that affects whether a successor passes is: strength!
For example, the first dynasty of the empire, the Claudi Dynasty, Octavian was the son of Caesar's niece (nephew and grandson), and was adopted as an adopted son (here a generation and became a cousin and brother relationship with his mother, which was a bit chaotic), and he still had the right to inherit. For example, the Antoni dynasty at the peak of the Roman Empire (96-192), had a total of six emperors. Except for the last emperor Conrad, who was a son of Aurelius, who was related to blood, the other five emperors, Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoni, and Aurelius, the most famous Five Sages in the history of the empire were all adopted sons and adopted fathers.
To put it more in detail, Trajan and Nerva have no blood relationship, Hadrjan is Trajan's cousin, Antoni is Hadrjan's nephew, and Aurelius and Antoni have no blood relationship, but the emperors of the dynasty did not have their heirs, and these adopted sons were recognized as the heirs of the emperor, and the dynasty continued. These emperors had no sons? There were many more! Then why not pass them to their own sons? Because of their strength, from Nerva, the emperor realized that the stability of the throne was inseparable from the support of the army. The Roman Empire did not have a dynasty for more than a hundred years! Every time the dynasty changed, the political situation was frequent, wars, killings, famines, and invasions followed one after another.
After the fall of the Roman Empire, the German barbarians went south. These barbarians went south based on tribes, and the characteristics of the tribes were maintained by blood ties! For these tribes, the inheritance of blood ties was the demise of dynasties. Therefore, blood ties were mentioned to an unprecedented level in Europe. The next king must be the blood of the previous king, otherwise it would be a change of dynasty. However, in the early days, the concept of illegitimate son was still very weak. The reason is very simple, because the marriage system of these tribes was not monogamous. The king (chief) was the largest owner of power and wealth, and he could openly and semi-publicly possess multiple wives.
For example, the first dynasty of France, the Melovin dynasty.
After Clove I's death in 511, the first quarter kingdom was, and the four sons did not come from the same mother (Clove's legal wife was Clotidal, the Burgundy Princess). After Clove I's death in 561, the same situation reappeared. In 612, Theoderick II died, and his grandmother, the famous Brenniehilde, helped his illegitimate son (the veritable illegitimate son) to the throne!
This is how you have strength. What kind of illegitimate children don’t have illegitimate children?
In addition, religious reasons are also very important!
In Europe, for a long time in the Middle Ages, the theocracy controlled by the church was higher than the secular monarchy. Marriage was one of the powerful tools of religion. By controlling the marriages of monarchs and nobles in various countries, religion affected the politics of various countries to the greatest extent! Monogamy, only when the offspring of marriages recognized by the church had legal inheritance rights. Illegal children had no inheritance rights. In other words, if the king was willful and hormones broke out, there were illegitimate children everywhere (this situation is very common), could he bear to see his sons and daughters being discriminated against and not respected? Or, what if the marriage blessed by the church did not bring children to the royal family? Is the king willing to watch the dynasty destroyed? This is a contradiction. There are conflicts, there are struggles, there are compromises, and there are compromises, and there will be benefits to the church!
Give an example.
In 1193, Philip II of the Cape dynasty in France married Princess Ingelberg in Denmark, but Philip was willful. He announced the abolition of the engagement the next day in the wedding night, expelled Ingelberg from the palace, and married the new queen a few years later. Of course, the Holy See would not miss this great opportunity to interfere in French politics. Innocent III declared that the new marriage was illegal and imposed a "excited punishment" on Philip II, forcing the French king to welcome back to Ingelberg. The two sides had been in confrontation for more than ten years.
Until the new French queen died of illness. In order not to make her two sons and one daughter become illegitimate children, Philip II finally chose to compromise and welcome back to Ingelberg, recognizing her status as queen. The Holy See received a large tribute from the King of France and the right to appoint the bishop of France. At the same time, it also confirmed that Philip II's offspring was legally married and had children. Both sides were very happy. The poor Princess Engelberg was inexplicably displaced outside the palace and placed under house arrest for more than ten years, which was not what these people had to consider!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Of course, there are also times when both parties are not well controlled and play.
The most famous example is Henry VIII of the Tudor dynasty in the UK. This guy's mind is actually very simple, he wants a legal male heir! In order to get a legal son, he did not hesitate to announce that Britain had left the Holy See and got married six times. Although he had a half-public son early on, this son was not born in marriage, but an "illegitimate son" and had no inheritance rights. He first named his illegitimate son Henry Fitzroy Earl of Nottingham, and an hour later he named the Duke of Richmond and the Duke of Somerset (Twin Dukes are rare in history), and
He was rewarded with countless high-ranking officials and generous salaries. But he never thought that he would not have the courage to properly support his son and give him the right to inherit! Because he knew that in that case, the result would be extremely dangerous and without good results, and would be hunted by everyone, whether it was Catholic or Protestant. In addition, to put it aside, although the illegitimate sons were the product of the church's suppression of monarchs and nobles, ironically, most of these illegitimate sons were still the church. The priests or bishops looked beautiful and noble, and they were one of the few exchanges that the church could take!
The illegitimate son of the Dharma King Philip II mentioned above served as Bishop of Tours.
As the same thing, everything is for the benefit!
Atlantis does not believe in Christianity.
But their religion is also monogamous!
Whether it is Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, although they have many lovers, they still insist on monogamy and they all have only one wife!
Of course, this is actually related to interests. I don’t know how the Atlantis were like this, at least this was the case in ancient Greece. Marriage played an important role in the Athenian society in the classical era, and its purpose was mainly focused on giving birth to descendants and maintaining the continuation of the family. In the classical era, the main purpose of marriage was to give birth to descendants. Both the family and society gave great significance and value, because the birth of descendants was regarded as an important way to continuate the family. Men need to ensure inheritance.
The birth of human beings is to ensure the inheritance of property and the status of the family. At the same time, women's fertility is regarded as an important aspect of their fulfillment of marriage obligations. Reproduction of offspring plays a crucial role in the prosperity of society and the continuation of the family. Marriage was regarded as a kind of connection and continuation between families in the classical era. Through marriage, marriage relationships were established between families, strengthening the social network and the social status of the family. The choice of marriage is usually based on the interests and reputation of the family to ensure
The continuation of family and the inheritance of property. In addition, marriage can also strengthen mutual assistance relationships between families and promote social harmony and stability. The choice of marriage must conform to the reputation and social expectations of the family to ensure the inheritance and inheritance of family honor. For men, marriage needs to choose women of equal or higher status as their family to ensure that the family status is not affected. At the same time, women are required to maintain chastity and loyalty in marriage to maintain the purity of family honor. The purpose of marriage in Athens in the classical era mainly focuses on giving birth to offspring and maintaining the continuation of family. Marriage is not only an important part of individual life, but also involves the maintenance of social structure, family relations and social status. Through marriage, individuals form close connections with family and society, and promote social stability and prosperity. However, we should also be aware of the limitations of the purpose of ancient marriage, which to a certain extent limited individual freedom and choice, especially for women.
Marriage is an important social matter, usually determined by the family and society. The arrangement of marriage involves many aspects, including factors such as economic, political and social status. We will discuss the arrangement of marriage in ancient Athens and its related content.
First, marriage in ancient Athens was a marriage between families. Families played an important role in ancient Greek society because they were the basis of social organizations. Marriage was regarded as an alliance between families, aiming to consolidate the status and wealth of the family. Therefore, the arrangement of marriage is usually negotiated and decided by the elders of the family. Generally speaking, men have greater freedom when choosing a marriage partner. They are usually encouraged to choose women of equal social status to ensure the balance and stability of the marriage. Social status was very important in ancient Athens, so marriage arrangements are often
Depending on the family background and wealth status of both parties, wealthy families usually want their son to marry a woman of equality to them to ensure inheritance and inheritance of property. In addition to personal and family factors, politics also plays an important role in the arrangement of marriage. Political marriage is a common phenomenon in ancient Athens, aiming to consolidate the political status and power of the family. Through marriage, two powerful families can merge their powers to gain greater political influence. Such political marriages usually involve marriages between kings, nobles and other powerful families.
Arthur suffered losses. Not only did he have no foundation, the key is that his father's family could not bring him any favorable support!
After all, his father was just a sailor... Not to mention his father's family, he was just a native who immigrated to the United States from Hawaii. Even his father's ancestors had eight lifetimes of poor peasants, and even a tribe chief had never been released.
Coupled with the blood of land people who were generally discriminated against by Atlantis, Arthur was very unpopular.
Those nobles could not accept such an heir to the throne.
Arthur also has a bad temper. He has a strong self-esteem and emphasizes that others respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot, and vice versa.
The humiliation and sarcasm of those nobles directly led to Arthur's outburst and he sweared completely regardless of the occasion... To be honest, it was really difficult for Arthur to learn from those nobles who were sarcasm and spoke sarcasm. He had no choice but to insult people without saying dirty words, so all kinds of slang and swear words came, making the nobles even more disgusted with Arthur.
Like most conflicts in the world, the last word of mouth still evolved into a fight between bricks and bricks.
Then a worse situation emerged.
Those nobles who were famous in the Kingdom of Atlantis lost to the rude mixed-race prince... The nobles with strong self-esteem would not be convinced by him just because the prince they despised defeated them, but instead hated Arthur even more. They thought Arthur had embarrassed them.
It's very difficult to deal with.
The plan that Atlana had prepared was completely dead.
To be honest, she has always fantasized about Arthur being accepted. Although this is difficult, at least it has to have a start. Although Atlana has already planned to hand over the throne to Mela, it does not mean that she does not want her son to return to the kingdom.
These are two things... Of course, Meila's hair did not play a role in it, so it is unknown.
Anyway, the one who is most afraid of Arthur's return at this stage is Mela. At least she will not allow Arthur to return to the kingdom before she can hold the throne.
Fortunately, Meila doesn't have to worry about this problem now.
Even if Atlana violates her promise and forcibly let Arthur succeed to the throne, it will only directly lead to the rebellion of the nobles! No one can still hold a firm ruling position after offending the entire ruling class. There is no way, the ruler relies on the same class to rule. Now the ruler's basic base is not dealt with... Then there is no way to talk about rule!
