Queen Mary I, of England and Ireland and her husband and consort King Philip II, of Spain and I of England and Ireland* attributed to Hans Eworth c.1558.

*Philip was granted the right to enjoy his wife’s titles during the term of their marriage under the Act for the Marriage of Queen Mary to Philip of Spain 1554.

A bitter reminder that Elizabeth I wasn’t the only one to deal with the ultimate issue of executing a royal cousin or not.

Tallis, Nicolla. "Crown Of Blood: The Deadly Inheritance of Lady Jane Grey".

“For the next few years, Edward’s household led an itinerant journey through some of the many smaller royal palaces and hunting lodges that Henry possessed on the outskirts of London. It was a life devoted to leisure and enjoyment. On his removal to Hunsdon around Easter 1540, Lady Bryan wrote to Cromwell informing him as she was accostumed to, of Edward’s progress:

‘My Lord Prince’s grace is in good health and merry… his grace danced and played so wantonly that he could not stand still and was full of pretty toys as ever I saw child in my life’.

Mary continued her visits, spoiling her brother with presents. Elizabeth was less generous, demonstrating a early habit for thrift for which she would become readily noted, but her gifts were no less thoughtful, for each year she sent her brother a cambric shirt that she had made herself.”

“Edward VI: The Lost Tudor King of England”, Chris Skidmore.

Recommending series and films about the Tudor Dynasty in chronological order

1. THE WHITE PRINCESS (Beginning of the reign of King Henry VII)

2. THE SPANISH PRINCESS (continuation of TWP, tells the story about Queen Catherine of Aragon, first wife of King Henry VIII)

3. THE TUDORS (starts in the early years of King Henry VIII's reign and ends at the end of his life, tells the story of important politicians of his reign such as Cardinal Wolsey, Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell, as well as obviously talking about his six wives)

4. BECOMING ELIZABETH (tells of the younger years of Queen Elizabeth I during the reign of her half-brother, King Edward VI)

5. LADY JANE (Helena Bonham Carter stars in this 1986 film, covering the short reign of Lady Jane Grey, who succeeded King Edward VI shortly after his death from tuberculosis)

6. ELIZABETH (A classic in Cate Blanchett's career, it tells the story of the reign of Queen Elizabeth I)

7. ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEN AGE (Sequel to 1998's Elizabeth, tells of the threats Elizabeth faced during her reign, including Mary Stuart's claim to the English throne)

OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS

1. THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL (It tells the story of sisters Mary and Anne Boleyn, both lovers of King Henry VIII, Anne would become Henry's second wife and mother of Elizabeth I)

2. WOLF HALL (The story is told from the point of view of Lord Chancellor Thomas Cromwell, during the tumultuous divorce of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, as well as his marriage to Anne Boleyn.

3. MY LADY JANE (A dystopian fantasy about Lady Jane Grey, but fun to watch)

4. REIGN (It focuses mainly on the dispute between Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart for the English throne)

Keep in mind that most of these series and films are not completely faithful to historical facts, but still maintain most of the events.

After James VI of Scotland became King of England, he commissioned a monument to honor his predecessor's memory and also ordered the two Tudor Queens to be placed in the same tomb. Visitors today can gaze upon Glorianna's tomb and be reminded by the plaque below that here lie two sisters, waiting to be reunited for the time of the Resurrection.

25 July 1554: Mary I of England marries Philip of Spain.

[lancastrianwasian]

No more Tudors, please—unless it’s Mary I or Edward VI. Let’s focus on the Trastámaras, especially Catherine of Aragon, and delve into the Habsburgs, like Margaret of Austria and her nieces: Eleanor, Isabella, Maria, and Catalina. And don’t forget Charles V and his brother Ferdinand! We need more content on the Trastámara and Habsburg dynasties, as well as Stuart topics that aren’t about Mary, Queen of Scots or Stuart England.

By the late 1520s, then, women associated with Mary had established the potential effectiveness of translation into English as a means of advancing pious views with a political charge. Mary herself participated in this tradition by becoming the first royal woman to employ humanist principles of translation to turn a text from Latin into English. Her 1527 manuscript translation of a prayer by Thomas Aquinas (“Con-cede mihi”) achieved limited circulation among religious conservatives and may have held political connotations through its demonstration of a humanist education befitting a princess.
