Mary Tudor was an English princess who through her marriage with King Louis XII of France became the Queen Consort of France. She was the younger surviving daughter of King of England and Lord of Ireland Henry VII and Queen of England Elizabeth of York. Louis was over 30 years older than Mary, his third wife, and died in less than three months following their marriage. Mary later married English military leader and courtier Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk, 1st Viscount Lisle in a secretly preformed marriage ceremony held in France. The marriage caused quite a furore in England as Charles was considered to have committed treason by marrying the royal princess without taking consent of her brother, Henry VIII, the then King of England. While Henry was furious, the Privy Council insisted on imprisonment or execution of Charles. Intervention of English statesman and Catholic bishop Thomas Wolsey and affection of Henry for Mary and Charles later led Henry to pardon the couple, who only had to pay a large fine. Mary had four children with Charles. Her granddaughter Lady Jane Grey, born through her eldest daughter Frances, reigned as the de facto Queen of England for nine days.
