harritudur:Rufus Sewell as Francis II, Duke of Brittany and Sophia Myles Marguerite, Duchess of Brittany.“The Tudors tried to flee to France but strong winds forced them to land in the Duchy of Brittany, where they were taken into the custody of Francis II. Henry Tudor, the only remaining Lancastrian noble with a trace of royal bloodline, had a weak claim to the throne, and Edward regarded him as “a nobody.” Francis II, however, viewed Henry as a valuable tool to bargain for England’s aid in conflicts with France and therefore kept the Tudors under his protection.“ #England or France: *in a period of unrest * #Brittany: our city now -- source link
