Comments:
I think viewers have the intelligence to distinguish between Henry's daughter, princess Mary, and Henry's youngest sister, Mary queen of France. Too bad both their stories couldn't be told because they are equally fascinating in their own right. Charles Brandon was in fact quite a bit older then Henry's sister Mary when he eloped with her. Margaret became the scandal of the family for her marital escapades which of course could not equal her brother's.

(note to posting : here's a quote from the creator & writer of the series, Michael Hirst. "I didn't want two Princess Marys on the call sheet," he said, because it might have confused the crew. " `Which one do you mean, Michael? Who do we dress?' ''. So it seems it wasn't so much for the audience as the crew who seem to have a problem when there are two people with the same name. Go figure)

As this character is completely "made up" there is no reason to support it. Or to waste my time or my fellows fans here to look up for information.
Please consider reviewing it. The sooner the better. If not you wiil be mocked, and it would be a pity, the TV show is somehow based "on factual history" adhere to it or rather take the time to think about writing a screenplay of your "own".
I know, I know, it more risky and difficult, well...life is not easy.!! With all due respect.
