On this day in Tudor history, 6th November 1514, the streets of Paris glittered with banners, music, and colour.Eighteen-year-old Mary Tudor, sister of King Henry VIII, had been crowned Queen of France the day before… and now she was the radiant heart of a lavish royal procession.Imagine it: a fountain flowing with a lily and a rose, pageants of goddesses and virtues, and Mary herself portrayed as the Queen of Sheba — the bringer of peace to France’s King Louis XII.Every display was rich with meaning: divine unity, peace between nations, and the promise of a new era.But behind the splendour lay a fragile truth.Mary’s marriage to Louis would last only a few months before his death, yet for that one November day, she was the embodiment of beauty, hope, and Tudor diplomacy:the rose of England entwined with the lily of France.Join me, Claire Ridgway, as I explore the story of Mary Tudor’s triumphal entry into Paris, a breathtaking moment where art, politics, and pageantry met in perfect harmony.#MaryTudor #TudorHistory #OnThisDay #HenryVIII #QueenOfFrance #TudorDynasty #AnneBoleynFiles
