Mary Tudor Queen of France by Amy McElroy

This is an interesting and informative book about Henry VIII’s favourite sister Mary. Although not that much is known about her character, the beautiful Queen was apparently quite kind to her ageing French husband, the King, and she was also kind to her servants and helpful to courtiers and officials. She seems to have been a rather sweet person.

She was also highly intelligent with a gift for writing letters, which can came in useful! She was able to wrap Henry around her little finger, ensuring that he was not too angry with her when she married Charles Brandon. 

I could never read enough about Mary! I enjoyed this book very much.

I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
