The marriage OF Mary Tudor to Louis of
France was one of the strokes OF Wolsley's
political genius and added much to the
prestige of the throne of Henry VIII. but
the marriage of the widow of Louis to
Charles Brandon, an untitled gentleman of
England, was triumph for the love Of n
woman for n man. The house of Tudor
WIS founded In much the same way, when
the widow of an English king married an
untitled Welshman because he was the
man she loved. Therefore Mary Tudor's
action may be said TO be an atavistic exhi-
bition. Charles Major has surrounded the
episode with giamor of romance that is
truly delightful, and with the assistance Of
Paul Hester has prepared for the stage q
