This is my first AU Tudors story! On 10th July, Henry VIII ordered a Requiem Mass to be held for his sister at Westminster Abbey. Whether he ever had such an intention is unclear, but he does appear to have developed a good enough rapport that Mary confessed to him she wanted to marry Brandon. Both Brandon and Mary were very aware that their favour, especially Brandon's, relied heavily on the king, and both were back at court by the end of 1515. James, you’re talking about Mary I (Henry VIII’s daughter) and, yes, she did die in 1558, but Mary Tudor, Queen of France (Henry VIII’s sister), died in 1533.

Henry was aware�that his sister did not want to marry the elderly French King. The penalty for such a crime was death. The newlyweds then naturally consummated their marriage to make it legally binding. When Henry VIII sent his friend to France to escort marry back he made Charles promise he would not marry his sister (also mentioned in the above letter)- Henry knew how much Mary liked Charles and must have recalled the promise he had made his sister. Like many real people of Henry VIII’s court, Brandon is made up of both light and shadow. If she was really a man then word would have got out. In fact, it was during this time away that Mary conceived the couple's first child. When he met with Francis I, the new French King, Francis was under the impression that Brandon had come to marry Mary. Mary did not attend her brother's wedding to Anne Boleyn and she did not attend Anne's coronation. That household is where he lived; he did not have lodgings at the royal court. 15, No. Livid, the King quickly broke Mary’s looming marriage to Charles and on July 30, 1514 she was called upon to renounce the union in Essex.

Given how angry Henry could and would get with anyone he felt was less than truthful or honest with him or crossed him in anyway, I think this incident reveals how very much he cared for both Mary as well as Charles Brandon. The date of Mary’s death is November 17th,1558, not June 25th,1533 Get it right! Bear in mind that for the future I shall pluck you.”. When Charles’ grandfather died, the family fortune passed to the oldest surviving uncle, Richard. I most humbly beseech your grace to consider, in case that you make difficulty to condescend to the promises as I wish, the French king will take new courage to renew his suits to me; assuring you that I had rather to be out of the world than it so should happen; and how he shall entreat my lord of Suffolk, God knoweth, with many other inconvenience, which might ensue of the same, the which I pray our Lord that I may never have life to see.
