At the French court, Mary is pursued relentlessly by the womanising Francis, her aged husband’s son-in-law. His passion is given greater scope by Louis’ dismissal of most of Mary’s English attendants. The swarthy Francis’s passion for the beautiful, blonde Mary increased, and, with the death of her aged spouse and Francis’s elevation to the French throne, her situation becomes desperate.
Unprotected, Mary is a captive prey to Francis’ lust for her.
Hoping, if she appeals to his gallantry, Francis will quell his ardour, Mary reveals her love of Charles Brandon. This appeal to his better nature results in his promise to help the would-be lovers.
Since Louis’ death, Mary had become increasingly anxious about the rumours she heard concerning her brother’s plans for her future. Because,in spite of his solemn promise that she would be allowed to choose her next husband herself, Mary suspected that Henry intended to push her in to another loveless marriage to suit himself and the State.
Visitors from the English court increased her fears and when Charles Brandon came to the French court, Mary’s anxiety had made her wretched. Hysterical, she demanded that he marry her there and then. Bemused by Mary’s tears and accusations, Brandon gave in and, with the cynical assistance of Francis’s mother who had feared that if Francis’ attempted seduction of Mary were to succeed, any resultant child could usurp her son’s succession to the throne.
The marriage ceremony between Mary and Charles Brandon is performed in secret and consummated. Then, as it slowly dawns on them what they have done, the newly-wed pair fearfully awaited Henry’s reaction…
