Mary Howard

Uncle Norfolk's daughter

The story so far…

Week 13: Anna Regina (Part 2)

Mary bars the door to Anne’s room when Cromwell comes on the king’s business. He charms her until Anne within relents and lets him in.

Week 31: Salvage (Part 1/3)

Now married to Henry Fitzroy, Earl of Richmond, she waits on Jane Seymour at court:

She is a very little wife, not seventeen; the clumsy gable gives her a scalped, wary look, and her eyes are travelling around. She sees him; nudges Meg; drops her eyes, breathes, ‘Cromwell.’

Week 34: Wreckage (II) (Part 1/2)

Mary Fitzroy tries to protect her friend Meg Douglas when Cromwell and Call-Me ask her about her marriage to Tom Truth. ‘Lady Margaret, you have a good counsellor in your friend,’ says Cromwell.

Fitzroy is unhappy. She says her husband, ‘doesn’t need me. He doesn’t even like me. He doesn’t count me as his wife.’
