Known in her youth as one of the most beautiful princesses of Europe^[1], Mary was betrothed in December 1507 to Charles of Burgundy, later Holy Roman Emperor. However, changes in the political alliances of the European powers meant this wedding did not take place^[2]. Instead, Cardinal Wolsey negotiated a peace treaty with France, and on October 9, 1514, at the age of 18, Mary married its 52-year-old king Louis XII at Abbeville. Despite two previous marriages, the king had no living sons and sought to produce an heir; but Louis died on January 1, 1515, less than three months after he married Mary, reputedly worn out by his exertions in the bed chamber. Their union produced no children. Despite the short duration of the marriage, Mary's English contemporaries frequently referred to her as 'the French Queen'.

Duchess of Suffolk

Mary had been unhappy with her marriage to Louis, as at this time she was almost certainly already in love with Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk^[3]. Henry knew of his sister's feelings^[4] but wanted any future marriage to be to his advantage. When he sent Suffolk to bring Mary back to England in late January 1515, he made the Duke promise that he would not propose to her^[5]. However, the couple married in secret in France on March 3, 1515. Technically this was treason, as Suffolk had married a royal princess without Henry's consent. The king was outraged, and the Privy Council urged that Brandon should be imprisoned or executed. Due to the intervention of Wolsey, and Henry's affection for both his sister and Suffolk, the couple were let off with a heavy fine^[6]. They were officially married on May 13, 1515 at Greenwich Palace. Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk (c. ...
