About this book
The account places Mary Tudor dying at Saint James’s while all England is in the throes of approaching change. Feria hints to Elizabeth that marrying her Spanish brother-in-law after her sister’s death might secure her succession and consolidate her throne. Elizabeth smiles at such hints without committing herself to the proposed arrangement.
Philip waits impatiently at Guadalajara for his bride, and the account says the King wished the city to make special efforts to welcome his approaching bride. Isabel of the Peace rides through artificial flowering woods and past richly dressed aldermen, entering the city between the Cardinal of Burgos and the Duke of Infantado. A portrait appears to banish the last doubts in Mary’s mind, although the account says her position had prompted her idea of marriage.
