The Forgotten and Fearless Daughter In Law of Henry VIII - Mary Howard

What is less well known about Henry is that before Edward VI was born, he did father a child through an affair with his mistress Elizabeth Blount. Henry Fitzroy, the King’s illegitimate son was showered with titles and royal ceremony, and some even consider that Henry VIII was planning for his illegitimate son to become his successor one day.

To further strength his claim to the throne, the King sought to find a suitable wife with noble connections for him, and at the age of 14 Henry Fitzroy married Lady Mary Howard, the daughter of Thomas Howard the 3rd Duke of Norfolk, one of the King’s favourites. But who was Mary Howard, and what happened to her after the tragic death of her husband?
