From the outset of the reign, the Queen [Mary I Tudor] had also shown kind interest in Frances’ daughters Katherine and Mary. In the summer of 1553, when Katherine was still only fourteen, she was appointed one of the ladies of the Privy Chamber, the innermost circle of the Queen’s friends. However, this did not mean that Mary saw in her a prospective successor. In November 1553 the Grey sisters were ruled ineligible because their parents’ marriage was invalid. It was recalled that Henry Grey had been contracted to the Earl of Arundel’s daughter before he married Frances Brandon, and it was alleged that, though the Greys had paid the discarded fiancée an indemnity, the contract had not been annulled in due form, whereby the imperial ambassador reckoned that the Suffolks’ eighteen years together had been ‘rather a concubinage than a marriage’

Bradgate House, Leicestershire (c.1709) Early 16thc. Tudor Manor House, for the manor of Groby, Leicestershire. The building was completed by Thomas Grey, 2nd Marquess of Dorset in 1520, and was inherited in 1530 by his son and heir Henry Grey, later Duke of Suffolk on his death.

This made me chuckle in the middle of quite an intense episode. Let it be known that X-Men '97 does humour as well as it does drama.

The Death and Funeral of Frances Brandon

On This Day (21 Nov) 1559, Frances Brandon, Duchess of Suffolk, died at her home - the Chaterhouse, Sheen.

Frances had been suffering from ill-health since at least 1552, when she was described to be suffering "a constant burning ague and stopping of the spleen". Proof that her health had significantly deteriorated by the beginning of Nov 1559, in that she petitioned to sell some of her lands to pay her debtors. Subsequently, 09 Nov Frances wrote her will (as "Frances, Duchess of Suffolk, wife to Adrian Stokes"), with her husband and daughters being identified as her beneficiaries.

At the end of her life, Frances had been residing at the Charterhouse, Sheen, former Carthusian priory within the ground of Richmond, with her second husband Adrian Stokes. Katherine had been visiting Sheen from court, due to ongoing discussions regarding a marriage proposal between herself and Edward Seymour, Earl of Hertford. It's been said that both her and her younger sister Mary were present at Frances's bedside at her death.

Frances's funeral was held on 05 Dec 1558, at Westminster Abbey, which was paid for by her cousin Elizabeth I. Her 19yo daughter Katherine acted as chief mourner in the service, which was completed in English, with sermons read from the new 1559 Book of Common Prayer. Whilst immediate family members were not traditionally in this role, all other female members of the royal family, including her niece Margaret Stanley (daughter of her sister Eleanor) and cousin Margaret Douglas (daughter of Margaret Tudor), were Catholic.

4 years later, in 1563, an alabaster tomb was erected on direction of Frances's widower Adrian Stokes, which still stands in St Edmund's Chapel, Westminster Abbey. Youngest daughter Mary was buried with her mother following her own death in 1578.
