A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

Valois Family Tree (Christmas 1534)
Since I probably won't get another chapter out before Christmas, I've decided to give you all some updated Family trees as an early Christmas present, now that all the babies we were waiting for have finally made an appearance. I intend to do England/Scotland, France, Portugal, and with any luck, Spain as well. Hopefully, this will help you all keep the various children in the next generation straight!

I think that's all the trees I can do before Christmas without giving away spoilers - I could also do Denmark, but I have a chapter in Copenhagen planned for the spring of 1535, so I'm going to save the Denmark tree until that's all sorted and squared away. Hope you've enjoyed this whirlwind tour of the various royal nurseries!
