The Plantagenets.
Westminster Abbey holds the coronation of the new King Edward II. The princes and guests are solemn and arrogant, the young queen is stunningly beautiful, and the sacred crown is dazzling - fans, women, power, everyone is flocking to it. But Edward was stingy about paying attention to these things. His eyes only stopped at the man at the front of the team.
Piers Gaveston, Earl of Cornwall, in noble purple robes.
The king's love for his ministers ignited a dangerous fuse, burning towards the collapse of his rule. There were internal and external troubles, pressure from the Parliament, discord among the earls, Gaveston was exiled again and again, his brother and the queen betrayed him one after another; the war in Scotland was rising again, and France was watching with eager eyes.
He controls the king's power, but cannot control his own life and death.
This is not the script he decided, but he will act it out in his own way.

Well, it's too serious. In fact, he is a traitor and a traitor. It is a bloody drama that the queen competes with men for favor and then cheats the king.
This article is nonsense, I just think Ai Er's story is interesting. I had little interest in altering the lives of the characters (although of course it was an apocryphal story), only in inserting bells and whistles into their heads. Therefore, the character image has nothing to do with the historical image.
I will write first in my loose style.
It's really hard to choose a category. If real characters are considered derivatives, then change them; legends don't count as plots, so just make do with it.
Purpose: His madness is a doomed struggle against royal power and religious power.
