When Knighthood was in Flower Or, The Love Story of Charles Brandon and Mary Tudor, the King's Sister, and Happening in the Reign of His August Majesty, King Henry the Eighth

For political reasons, King Henry VIII is determined that his sister, Mary Tudor, will marry King Louis XII of France, even though she wishes to be the wife of commoner Charles Brandon. The lovers run away but are captured, and Mary agrees to the king's demands provided that she may choose her second husband. Louis dies shortly after the wedding, and, although King Francis I connives to make her his, Mary finally marries Brandon with Henry's blessing.
