Mary Tudor Queen of France - Her Secret Unlocked!

Mary Tudor Queen of France was an English princess, daughter of a king, sister to the current king, and a dowager queen of France. At the age of 18 she was forced to marry the 52 year old Louis XII of France but he died just under 3 months later. In England, she was known as the Dowager Queen of France or the French Queen, rather than the Duchess of Suffolk.

Mary defied her brother, Henry VIII, by marrying the man she loved, Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, secretly in March 1515 in France before she could be used as a pawn and married off to another prince or king for diplomatic reasons.

Mary supported Catherine of Aragon during the King’s Great Matter and resented Anne Boleyn. Mary and Charles Brandon had four children, two boys and two girls, but both of their sons died in childhood. Henry’s named his daughter, the future Mary I, and his favourite warship, “The Mary Rose”, after her. She is sometimes confused with Mary Tudor, Queen of England (Mary I), and so is referred to as Mary Tudor, Queen of France.
