Chapter 630

After reading the information, Franz had to admit that Frederick was really unlucky. There are too few objects suitable for him, and there is not much room for choice.

Under the current international situation, the most suitable marriage to the Habsburg dynasty is the Russian royal family, but unfortunately there is no suitable age princess.

The daughter of Alexander II has been married, and the daughter of Alexander III has not been weaned yet. It is unknown whether she can support her, and Frederick naturally cannot wait that long.

There is no princess in the French royal family. Of course, this has no effect. The Bonaparte family was not considered by Franz.

As the stronghold of conservatives, the Austrian people simply cannot accept the reserve queen from the nouveau riche, or the Austrian aristocracy cannot accept a woman whose blood is not noble enough to be the wife of the crown prince.

The Bonaparte family got rich too late, and Napoleon I offended too many people, and Napoleon III was the elected emperor, all challenging the traditional system of blood inheritance.

In the eyes of the orthodox nobles, this is an improper position. The Bonaparte family was therefore rejected by the European aristocracy, and even though the French Empire was at its peak, they were still not accepted by the mainstream circles.

The Habsburg dynasty was a vested interest in the system of blood inheritance, and naturally opposed the heresy of the Bonaparte family.

Queen Helen asked: "Franz, which one do you think is the most suitable for Frederick?"

Franz: "Let's use the method of exclusion. All the granddaughters of Queen Victoria and their descendants are not considered."

No way, hemophilia can't be caused. The decline of the European kingship in the original time and space was not only because of the world war, but also because of hemophilia.

In this respect, Queen Victoria made an outstanding contribution to the cause of the European republic. If hemophilia hadn't wiped out the various royal heirs, the royal power would not have declined so quickly.

Queen Helen asked inexplicably, "Why?"

Franz explained patiently: "Royal disease, have you heard of it?"

Queen Helen nodded: "I heard that it is said that the royal curse is very scary."

Franz shook his head: "This is not a curse, I sent someone to carefully study the incidence of royal disease.

Interestingly, the patients were all men and descendants of Queen Victoria, daughters, and granddaughters.

According to experts, royal disease is a maternal genetic disorder. The virus is carried by women and breaks out in men.

According to statistics, the incidence of royal disease is very high. For the sake of Frederick's descendants, we're a little farther away. "

Queen Helen asked in disbelief: "How is this possible? Could it be the British..."

Franz: "No, it shouldn't be man-made. With British medical technology, it is impossible to control the spread of the virus at all.

Besides, what good is it for them? If all the royal families in Europe suffered, wouldn't they be afraid of the emergence of a common monarch to unify the European continent? "

The European royal family is one family, not a joke. The marriage between the royal families is intricate and has the right to inherit the throne of multiple countries. That is the basic operation.

The Habsburg dynasty is a ready-made example. If the European royal family were to die out on a large scale, Franz would probably pick up a few more crowns.

From the perspective of conspiracy theory, whoever benefits is the culprit, Franz feels that he is more suspicious than the British.

Looking at the panicked Queen Helen, Franz reassured: "Okay, Helen. Don't be surprised, isn't it a royal disease, just avoid it, it's not so scary."

After a while, Queen Helen recovered: "Does the British royal family know about this news?"

Franz shook his head: "I don't know either. However, even if they knew about this kind of thing, I'm afraid no one would say it.

Well, don't worry about it so much. As long as it doesn't affect us, let them go! If the news is really leaked out, we will form a deadly feud with the British royal family. "

Queen Helen nodded, she knew the importance of the matter. If the lid is lifted, I am afraid that it is not only the British royal family who will offend, but even the several royal families of the victims of hemophilia will also resent them for not reminding them earlier. This is human nature.

Under the pressure of "royal disease", the number of candidates was reduced by a quarter in an instant. It has to be said that European grandmothers are amazing.

Franz: "Then kick out the ones that are not politically suitable. I am familiar with this aspect, so let me do it!"

Politics is the most important factor in the marriage of the royal family. If this aspect is not handled well, it will not be a help, but a trouble.

For example: the Bourbon family and the Orleans family have princesses of the right age, and they are the right people in Yemen, so Frederick cannot marry.

If the heirs of the Habsburg dynasty marry the former French royal family, it is estimated that Napoleon IV will go crazy, which has threatened his rule.

Franz is not ready to restore the former royal family of France, why bother?

After the political factors are considered, it is the turn of the identity. These materials were prepared not only for Frederick, but also for his three younger brothers.

Without Franz speaking, Queen Helen divided the rest into two categories according to their status. Frederick is the crown prince, and his wife must be the right match, and the choice is very small.

When Franz married Queen Helen, it was just after annexing the kingdom of Bavaria, to appease the Bavarian royal family in order not to make it look too ugly.

This kind of appeasement is also for the domestic princes and the Bavarian people, so that everyone can feel at ease.

Facts

Ming, this marriage was very successful. Everyone quickly felt at ease, the Bavarian royal family was confident and bold in running the Lombard Kingdom, and the people of Bavaria also accepted the fact of changing the monarch.

The current situation is obviously different. Several states in the country are very peaceful, and Franz has not prepared any monarch to transfer the title. Naturally, there is no need for Frederick to marry a collateral princess to appease him.

If it's a direct princess, it's almost the same. Not only is the status of the distant branch line inferior, but more importantly, the political bonus is too low to make any sense.

After all, there is not much left. Among them, the British royal family accounted for half, and the three daughters of Crown Prince Edward were all included in the selection range.

Princess Louise was born in 1867, Princess Victoria was born in 1868 and Princess Maud was born in 1869.

(Note: Hemophilia carriers are maternal genetic diseases)

Looking at the information, Franz has to admire that the efficiency of one child a year is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In addition to being a little younger, everything else meets the requirements. Politically, Britain and Austria are in the honeymoon period. Although they have stabbed each other, they are still allies.

Not bad is Princess Sophie Marie Victoria of the Royal Family of Baden, born in 1862 and now 15 years old.

Not only is it very suitable for age, but also politically, it is conducive to enhancing Austria's influence in the German Federal Empire.

It is almost certain that Frederick's wife will be between Princess Sophie Marie Victoria of Baden and Princess Louis of England.

Of course, there are several candidates, for example: the daughter group of the European father-in-law Nicholas I. It's just that the Principality of Montenegro has too little influence and has no marriage value.

Queen Helen: "There are only two left. Who does Franz think is more suitable?"
