Fascinating Tudor Fact

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception



Fascinating Fact: In 1514 Mary Boleyn was appointed as a Maid of Honour to Mary Tudor, younger sister of Henry VIII and traveled to France with the young Princess. Mary traveled with the Princess from Dover to France as part of Mary’s entourage and was most likely present when the English Princess married King Louis XII.
