Description
Mary Tudor's life was shaped by the men in her world. Her father, Henry VII, and brothers Arthur and Henry VIII held significant influence over her childhood. As she grew older, Mary faced expectations that defined her role as a woman: to be a dutiful wife. At 18, Mary married Louis XII, 34 years her senior, and took charge of her life after his death just three months later. This marked a turning point in her journey, allowing her to showcase the strong, self-willed person she had always been. Her subsequent marriages were driven by love, not just duty. This book tells Mary Tudor's story through her own words, using primary sources and letters to uncover the truth about this intelligent and passionate woman.
