Sisters To The King

"Much has been written about Henry VIII and his six wives, but his sisters, Margaret and Mary, have had less of the limelight ... In the Tudor age both Margaret and Mary were thought to be more important personalities than Henry's six wives. Margaret became Queen of Scotland at the age of thirteen; Mary, Henry's famously beautiful younger sister, was married off to the ageing King of France. Against convention, both chose their second husbands for love. Mary risked her head by proposing to the handsome Duke of Suffolk; Margaret's husband James IV was killed by henry's armies, her children were snatched from her and her two subsequent husbands betrayed her, yet she defied convention by twice seeking divorce"--Publisher's description.
