Mary was born on the 18th March 1496 inside of Sheen Palace, with her father being King Henry VII and her mother being Elizabeth go York. She was the youngest child to survive infancy, and whilst she was four she was visited by Erasmus who taught briefly inside of the royal nurses. When she was 6 she was given her own household, which was made up of a staff of gentlewomen that served her and waited upon her, and also a doctor and a schoolmaster. She was given a brilliant education, and she learned many different languages and also dancing and music. It was hoped that she would become married to a powerful European prince of king that would secure the safety of England through alliances. Her governess was Joan Faux who she called Mother Guildford and the pair were very close. But as a child, she along with her brother the future Henry VIII were very close and they had a great relationship. In fact Henry VIII would call his first surviving child after her in the future Queen Mary I, and when Mary was just 6 her mother died.
