Mary Tudor (9 October 1514 – 1 January 1515), not to be confused with Queen Mary I or Mary, Queen of Scots, was briefly Queen of France. She then had a secret marriage to her boyfriend, Charles Brandon, and lived an interesting and -- dare I say -- scandlicious life. She was also the grandmother of Lady Jane Grey, which sets us up for this season's theme: How To Lose A Queen In Nine Days aka The Lady Jane Grey Scenario.References:The Sisters of Henry VIII: The Tumultuous Lives of Margaret of Scotland and Mary of France by Maria PerryHenry VIII: The King and His Court by Alison WeirOther stuff:A Tip for the Hangman by Allison EpsteinRecommended history books: bookshop.org/lists/vulgar-history-recommendsPatreon: patreon.com/annfosterwriterMerch: teespring.com/stores/vulgarhistory
