1496–1533
Mary Tudor, Queen of France, was the younger sister of Henry VIII and briefly queen consort of Louis XII of France. Her later marriage to Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, was politically sensitive and tied her to the early Tudor court.
Jean Plaidy’s Mary, Queen of France places Mary Tudor, Queen of France within a narrative shaped by family, marriage and personal loyalty and court politics and dynastic power. In Philippa Gregory’s Three Sisters, Three Queens, Margaret Tudor, Catherine of Aragon and Mary Tudor become queens of Scotland, England and France. Other novels featuring Mary Tudor, Queen of France include Rozsa Gaston’s The Queen’s Maid.
