The French Queen’s Letters
Mary Tudor Brandon and the Politics of Marriage in Sixteenth-Century Europe
Language: English
Release Date: April 11, 2011
A fresh biography of Mary Tudor which challenges conventional views of her as a weeping hysteric and love-struck romantic, providing instead the portrait of a queen who drew on two sources of authority to increase the power of her position: epistolary conventions and the rhetoric of chivalry that imbued the French and English courts.
