When Knighthood Was in Flower

It is the reign of England's henry VIII. He is still married to his first of six wives, Catherine of Aragon. Yet, he has a problem with a young woman - his 16 year old sister, mary Tudor - whom he is determined to marry off. The lucky suitor ( and the one who has the most to offer Henry) is the aging and feelbe King Louis XII of France.



Beautiful, but tempermental, and definitely a woman who knows her own mind, the petulant teenager wishes to marry another, a common captain of the guard, Charles Brandon.
