The French king is weak and old and Mary’s got her eye on the virile captain of the guard, Charles Brandon. Still married to the first of his six wives, Henry demands that his sister put the House of Tudor first, threatening, "You will marry France and I will give you a wedding present – Charles Brandon's head!"
