<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The life of the beautiful Mary Tudor, sister of Henry VIII, through her own words and letters and the correspondence of those who knew her.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Mary Tudor's childhood was overshadowed by the men in her life: her father, Henry VII, and her brothers Arthur, heir to the Tudor throne, and Henry VIII. These men and the beliefs held about women at the time helped to shape Mary's life. She was trained to be a dutiful wife and at the age of eighteen Mary married the French king, Louis XII, thirty-four years her senior. When her husband died three months after the marriage, Mary took charge of her life and shaped her own destiny. As a young widow, Mary blossomed. This was the opportunity to show the world the strong, self-willed, determined woman she always had been. She remarried for love and at great personal risk to herself. She loved and respected Katherine of Aragon and despised Anne Boleyn - again, a dangerous position to take. Author Sarah Bryson has returned to primary sources, state papers and letters, to unearth the truth about this intelligent and passionate woman. This is the story of Mary Tudor, told through her own words for the first time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>'Exciting, authoritative and compelling - a book that does full justice to a much-neglected Tudor figure.'--Dr Josephine Wilkinson<br><br>'This is a sympathetic insight into a frequently overlooked Tudor and her world.
