He was one the bad
He was one the bad boys of the Tudor regime. Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk was born a relatively lowly aristocrat in around 1484, but his father’s death at the Battle of Bosworth as standard bearer for Henry VII and his uncle’s court connections brought him into the orbit of Henry VIII and from there, his ascent was remarkable, becoming a knight, then Viscount Lisle, then the Duke of Suffolk in 1514, one of the only dukes in England at the time. A successful military leader, he took part in numerous campaigns across Henry’s reign.
He had a chequered marital career, running through woman after woman and producing several children until he made a spectacularly advantageous union with Princess Mary Tudor, Queen of France in 1515. She was the widow of Louis XII and the sister of Henry VIII and Charles was lucky that marrying the French Queen and making himself Henry VIII’s brother-in-law without that King’s permission didn’t cost him his life. After paying heavy fines though, the Duke managed to get back into the King’s good graces and stay there. He and Mary had two surviving children, Lady Frances Brandon (mother of Lady Jane Grey) and Lady Eleanor Brandon and their father’s career is a handbook in how to survive in Tudor England and especially at the court of Henry VIII.
When his royal wife died in 1536, he married again within months to his former ward, the 14-year-old Katherine Willoughby, who had been engaged to his son. Together they had two sons. Charles knew all of the six wives of Henry VIII (all of whom were his sisters-in-law of course). He was made to mistreat Catherine of Aragon on Henry’s orders, disliked Anne Boleyn whose execution he witnessed, welcomed Anne of Cleves to England only to later help to arrange her divorce, accompanied Katherine Howard to the scaffold and saw Catherine Parr become great friends with his final wife. Charles Brandon died in 1545 and was buried in St George’s Chapel at Windsor.
In this Tudor history documentary from History Calling we look at the life of Charles Brandon, Henry VIII’s best friend.
