Today's video topic was highly requested in the comments of my video on Mary Tudor, Queen of France (   • Mary Tudor: Sister of Henry VIII  ); we're looking at her husband Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. Was he a careless cad with the lives of a cat; or did he know exactly how far he could push the limits of taste, decency and Henry's temper to achieve the maximum reward?

I hope you enjoy this video and find it interesting!
