The Early Life and Education of Mary I

She 'greatly marvelled the same, her young and tender age considered': This quote comes from a letter sent in 1520 by the Royal Council in England to Henry VIII while he was at The Field of Cloth of Gold concerning perhaps one of the most divisive figures in British History, Henry’s daughter Mary. Dr. Richardson, Director of Research at St Mary’s University gives a fascinating insight on the early life and preparation of Mary as the daughter and heir of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon.
