After the birth of the Lady Mary, later Queen Mary I, Salisbury became her godmother and sponsor in confirmation and was afterwards appointed Governess of Mary and her Household. As the years passed there was talk of a marriage between Mary and Lady Salisbury's son Reginald, who was still a layman. However, when the matter of the King's divorce from Catherine of Aragon began to be talked of, Reginald Pole boldly spoke out his mind in the affair and shortly afterwards withdrew from England.
WI Reginald Pole and Mary were married indeed and had issue? How is this altering History? Any thoughts?
