Much has been written about Henry VIII and his six wives, but his sisters, Margaret and Mary, had less of the limelight until Maria Perry examined their amazing lives and their influence on European history. In the Tudor age both Margaret and Mary were thought to be more important personalities than Henrys six wives. Margaret became Queen of Scotland at the age of 13. Mary, Henrys famously beautiful younger sister, was married off to the ageing King of France. Against convention both chose their second husbands for love.
