However, Marin's journey to the south was not particularly smooth. Because Emperor Maximilian I protested to the Pope.

It was not that Maximilian I targeted Marin, but that he felt that the grant of the throne belonged to secular rights and did not belong to the Holy Roman Empire. Although Marin made extraordinary achievements in establishing the Cowpox Law, the grant of the throne within the Holy Roman Empire should be decided by him. After all, after the "Canosha humiliation" that year, the emperor and the pope had long clarified the division of labor - the emperor was in charge of secular rights and the pope was in charge of religion. If the pope promoted Marin's Grand Duchy of the North Sea to a kingdom, it would be a bit suspicious of overreaching power...

In addition, if Marin was promoted to king, the newly promoted Kingdom of North Sea would be a bit embarrassing in the German region. Because the king was said to be slightly higher than the electoral emperor, so the Bohemia king was the highest among the seven electoral emperors. But if Marin became the king of the North Sea, what should we do if the emperor elections in the future?

Not only the emperor raised objections, but the German princes also put forward opinions - Germany added a new king, and it was hard for us to get along with each other. After all, the king's status is higher than that of the general electorate. However, if Marin becomes the king of the German region, how should he calculate? He automatically becomes the electorate? Everyone is not happy - isn't this giving a vote to the Habsburg family directly? If he doesn't become the electorate, it seems embarrassing...

Therefore, the emperor, the seven elected emperors, and some important German princes rushed to Rome as soon as possible to discuss the matter together...

In fact, the emperor was happy to call Marin the German electorate. However, the seven electorate emperors unanimously opposed it, and many German real powerful nobles also opposed it.

However, Marin made extraordinary achievements and had no reason to oppose him to win the crown. In the end, the seven electoral emperors and more than a dozen German nobles who came to Rome came up with a compromise - agreeing to Marin as crowned king, but not the king of the North Sea Kingdom, but the king of the wild continent of Marin's colony.

They heard from the Spanish that the wild continent is not small. The island of Hispaniola, which was once colonized by Spain, is much larger than Sicily. The entire continent should be more than enough to establish a kingdom.

Therefore, the seven electoral emperors and more than a dozen German dukes jointly suggested that the Holy See be crowned Marin as the king of the wilderness...

In addition, France also strongly opposed Marin's name as the king of the German region and supported him as the wild king. Portugal also agreed with France, while Spain was neutral and wait-and-see. The English envoy supported Marin's becoming the king of the North Sea, but England had no say in continental affairs and its influence in continental affairs was not as good as the seven electoral emperors.

When Malin heard their suggestions, he was full of black lines - King of the Wild Wild! You guys are so vicious!

However, his heart moved - because, he suddenly remembered that it seemed that the entire wild continent, the Holy See only rewarded him with colonial rights along the eastern and western coasts, and the Holy See had not given him all the inland areas of America.

Originally, he planned to gradually get rewards from all the American lands of the Holy See. However, this time, taking advantage of the great contributions, it would be better to take over the Americas?

After discussing with the Pope's father-in-law, Julius II immediately publicly announced that he would reward Marin the entire wild continent. The German princes and France had no objection. Anyway, they had no interests overseas. Portugal did not agree, but Portugal was also a maritime country and had an influence on the continent similar to that of England. Therefore, the Portuguese objections could not change anything.

Spain was a little reluctant. After all, they also had the intention to return to America. However, Spain had a good relationship with the North Sea. Even if they had some thoughts, the Spanish envoy still voted in favor.

As a result, Marin achieved the goal of monopolizing the entire America.

However, Marin hated the title of "Wild King". He did not want to be recorded as "Wild King Marin" by later generations, so he raised objections in public, which made the great nobles and envoys present happy.

After thinking about it, Marin proposed to rename the wild continent "American continent", and this new kingdom was called the "King of America", and his kingdom was the "King of America".

America is actually the name of Ameriga. People here despise Marin's name of his navigator - why don't you use your own name?

But Marin felt a lot of pain in her heart. Imagine how nice it sounds like America? King of the United States! If it is called Marin Kingdom, it wouldn't be nice. It is abbreviated as Horse Kingdom? King of Horse Kingdom? Leader of the beast? It's not as good as the King of the Wild...

Therefore, under the watch of the melon-eating nobles, Marin was eventually crowned as the "King of America" ​​by Julius II. Moreover, he was authorized to not be crowned by Rome after the authorization, and he could be crowned by finding an archbishop at home.

In addition, under Marin's suggestion, the Pope also issued an edict decree to declare that the entire America belongs to Marin and his heirs, and other countries must not fight for it. Otherwise, it would be a betrayal of Marin's great grace to save the entire Europe, which is ungrateful. As a holy See, moral corruption is an expulsion...

At this time, the wild continent had been misled by Marin and promoted it as a terrible wild land. How could other countries have any objections? In addition, Marin did save the whole of Europe this time, and everyone accepted his kindness. Therefore, representatives of various countries readily signed the oath of "escape the Americas and being automatically extorted". Only Portugal's representative Valdo did not participate in the coronation ceremony or sign it on the grounds of illness. This also laid the groundwork for the later conflict between the North Sea and Portugal...

Of course, Portugal is not a rival to the North Sea. However, the countries that France and others participated in the signing but later regretted supported and encouraged Portugal behind their backs... They signed the oath, and it was not easy to break the oath. But Portugal did not sign, so they became the representative of the jealous country's choice of fault... However, these are all things to come...

...

After being crowned as the "King of America", Marin was full of energy and proud. Angela also came to Rome and met her father. She was brought to the queen's crown by her kind father Julius II and became the queen of America. Caesar also became the prince of the United States...

At this point, Marin finally advanced from His Highness to "His Majesty the King".

However, the great German nobles and envoys from various countries who participated in the coronation ceremony felt a little funny. Because in their eyes, Marin was just a terrifying king from the wild continent, and his value was not as high as that of the king of the small European country. Or, in their hearts, Marin was just a barbarian king. Therefore, they actually despise Marin with a strong spirit.

But Marin doesn't care - no matter how you despise me, I am also a king. When you see me in the future, you have to call out "His Majesty Marin". The throne crowned by the Pope himself is recognized by all over Europe, and is different from those self-proclaimed terror. Whether you want it or not, I will be the king of America in the future. Even if the electorate sees himself, you have to salute first. After all, the king has a slightly higher status than the electorate. After all, although the electorate is considered equal to the king by the Germans, in fact, the electorate usually salutes first when he sees the king...

In other words, "the electorate is at the same level as the king" is just a self-interested idea of ​​the Germans. No one admits this when it comes to Germany. Just like the Japanese emperor, the Japanese believed that they were at the same level as the emperors of China, but ancient East Asian countries generally believed that the Japanese emperors were at the same level as the kings. Even those electorates themselves had their own qualities and they would be polite to see the kings. In addition, the Bohemia king, who was the electorate, was also the highest among the secular electorates.

Although the territory of the American king Marin is a "wild land" overseas, it has been confirmed by the Holy See that it is also a sovereign kingdom. Therefore, this crown is still relatively strong.

Since he was promoted to the royal title, there must be the royal emblem and seal as the royal logo. Marin personally took the initiative, and then a brand new star and striped banner appeared at the coronation ceremony of the Roman Catholic Church...

However, Marin made a very big change to the star-striped flags in later generations - thirteen became twelve, and 50 stars also became 12 stars...

After all, history has changed. There are not yet the thirteen states in North America. Where do you get the 13? There are not many 50 stars in 50 states.

As for the explanation of the star-striped banner, Marin explained this - the 12 bars represent the 12 disciples of Jesus, and the 12 stars represent the 12 zodiac signs used in traditional Western astrology...
