    Thank you for this quiz, Claire. Mary Tudor slides a bit under the radar, but her story is compelling.

    It’s been a while since I logged in to The Tudor Society, but I just found out that I am related to both Mary Tudor and Charles Brandon. Quite a surprise. Are there any books on either that I can bone up on? Many thanks. Great quiz too.

      Steven Gunn’s book on Charles Brandon is excellent, although it is based on his PhD thesis and so is very academic in style. Sarah Bryson has one coming out soon too.
      For Mary Tudor, there’s David Loades’ “Mary Rose” and Maria Perry’s “The Sisters of Henry VIII”. Erin Sadlack’s “The French Queen’s Letters: Mary Tudor Brandon and the Politics of Marriage in Sixteenth-Century Europe” is also excellent.
