I
Marie la Sanglante - A League of Cognac TL
As you have guessed, this is a spin off the Bloody Mary's brood..
I
Cardinal Wolsey, Henry's chief adviser in after the break up of Mary’s betrothal with Charles V in 1526, Henry VIII then resumed marriage negotiations with the French, and Henry suggested that Mary marry the Dauphin's father, King Francis I himself, who was eager for an alliance with England. A marriage treaty was signed which provided that Mary marry either Francis I or his second son Henry, Duke of Orleans, Henry agreed to the marriage between Francis I and Mary and sent his emissaries to Francis I that he had already decided that Mary will marry Francis I.
Meanwhile, the marriage of Catherine of Aragon and Henry VIII was in jeopardy. Disappointed at the lack of a male heir, and eager to remarry, Henry attempted to have his marriage to Catherine annulled, but Pope Clement VII refused his request. Henry claimed, citing biblical passage, that his marriage to Catherine was unclean because she was the widow of his brother (Mary's uncle) Arthur. Catherine claimed that her marriage to Arthur was never consummated and so was not a valid marriage. Her first marriage had been annulled by a previous pope, Julius II, on that basis. Clement may have been reluctant to act because he was influenced by Charles V, Catherine's nephew and Mary's former betrothed.
the marriage of Francis I and Mary Tudor will seal a non aggression pact between France and England as well the French recognition of the break of vows between Catherine of Aragon and the marriage of Henry VIII to Renee of France.
the two brides were exchanged in 1527 and the two couples married each other and the marriage between Henry VIII and Renee happened on 1527, an act which was protested by Catherine of Aragon.
The two marriages would cause Henry VIII to withdraw from the League of Cognac against the French, weakening the power of Charles V.
