Brandon was Henry's frat brother. Escaping with his head was quite an accomplishment.

There aren’t many films focusing on her as the main protagonist her character often is relegated to a supporting role in most Tudor series and movies. There’s a vintage film from the 50s the sword and the rose that focuses solely on her and a more recent series by Showtime “the Spanish princess” that gives main supporting roles to her and Margaret Tudor, the grandmother to Mary of Scots whose marriage would to the unification of English and Scottish thrones.

Thank you for not forgetting her story; an extraordinary life. Always a treat to watch your videos.

I enjoy this video but you didn’t even mention her children, and being a mother was of the utmost importance back then (and still is). Mary was the grandmother to Lady Jane Grey, which is an interesting story if you haven’t told it. Art is lovely…. I’m off to binge your channel now

Absolutely beautiful artwork. Very interesting video. I learned a few things I didn't know about ❤

I learned a lot today about Mary Tudor, a woman whom I thought I knew plenty about! She was one very blessed woman to be allowed to remain married to Charles Brandon without disastrous consequences. Thank you for your excellent work Jon! 👏

Great video and very interesting! For me Mary was a quite remarkable and stunning princess and queen and loyal friend to Catherine of Aragon, Queen of England.😃

I love the videos of the lesser known royals. Another job well done! Can’t wait for the next one.

[conniebennett]

Thank you for this. I love it. Mary Tudor and Charles Brandon are my 15th great grandparents.

[jessrosefawkes]

I’ve always loved learning about the tudors, it’s my favourite period in history. so Thank you again Jon for an amazing video as usual x

[suzannederringer]

Very sweet telling of her story! Than you!

[suchetachakraborty]

Beautiful. Could you do one on Juanna de Castille?

[christyb]

Beautiful video, one of my favorite Tudor ladies! She was smart to orchestrate her own remarriage, whether for love or not, to return home instead of ending isolated in some foreign court. You left out the interesting bit of King Louis shipping Mother Guildford back to England, complaining the governess was limiting his 'access' to his young beautiful wife...piuhhh poor Mary!

[motherofcats]

Mary's story would make a great movie

[OWOT-rejf]

Love your effects, art, voice and music

Henry and Lizzie gave their children, an excellent education

Henry VIII really loved his sister Mary and he loved Charles as a brother not a friend.

Just like her great grandfather she dared to love a commoner as Edward loved Lady Elizabeth Woodville Grey.
