Jan 10 2008, 5:29 PM EST Well, he had to have something going for himself to be in good graces with Henry for so long. I "Googled" him for you. Its an interesting read. Link to Wikipedia on Charles Brandon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Brandon,_1st_Duke_of_Suffolk If link doesn't work hopefully you can just copy & paste it to your browser. ;) 1 out of 3 found this valuable.

Jan 11 2008, 10:18 PM EST Can you see Charles and Henry together today - Absolutely - the bad boys - they would be on the Foot ball team...their parents covering up the statutory rape accusations...drinking...playing in a band somewhere..breaking things in a hotel...these boys was not the traditional William we see on the throne today. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

Feb 6 2008, 9:28 PM EST Bloody hell I hope so. I mean, considering the debauchery that went on during that time period, he'd have been a complete bore to not keep up with present company. I just wonder how many he and Henry shared. Do you find this valuable? |

Feb 6 2008, 10:50 PM EST From what I've read he seems to have had quite a reputation at court. Interesting fact: Brandon is the grandfather of the ill fated Lady Jane Grey. Do you find this valuable? |

Feb 7 2008, 5:45 PM EST Yes. Henry's daughter Elizabeth hated the Greys (after they attempted to overthrow her sister Mary and rob Elizabeth to her right to the succession). Althogh Mary was Henry VIII favorite sister and he preferred her descendents over his sister Margaret's in the line of succession, Elizabeth turned to Margaret's Stuart line even though James Was Mary Queen of Scots son. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

Feb 7 2008, 6:51 PM EST preferences were not always constant that is why you couldn't trust kings they changed to rapidly on who they trusted, one king entered and then another and suddenly the preferences changed. Do you find this valuable? |

Feb 8 2008, 2:04 PM EST Trust some body is always difficult, but i guess that being the king made it realy complicated. I can not blame their changing preferences, besides, if not, history would be so boring. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: bad boy?
Feb 13 2008, 8:17 AM EST Monarchs can't be trusted; I definitely agree. However, Henry did a lot for Charles, as a friend and brother-in-law. In history, the breach happened when Charles sided with Mary (his wife & the King's sister) over Anne Boleyn. It will be VERY interesting to see what happens in the series this season. What say you? 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: bad boy?
Feb 13 2008, 3:40 PM EST Henry could not be trusted at all I know monarchs sometiems were very disloyal but they're were some who did reward loyalty if it did something beneficial monetarily for them. Henry did not know loyalty,he was easy to manipulate, me thinks. and when he was not he got so frustrated that he send everybody to death, he was like a child. Poor charles though, I wonder if he will die in season 2 they already killed margaret wouldn't surprise me Do you find this valuable? |

RE: bad boy?
Feb 13 2008, 4:41 PM EST I believe he died of natural causes, but it will be interesting to see how the series handles Brandon. He also had four wives and died relatively old for the time. The series does take some liberty with the truth. Do you find this valuable? |
