I was surprised when you said that Katherine was a fervent Protestant - I assumed, given her mother's background and connection to Katherine of Aragon, that she would have been more Catholic-inclined. Is there any reason, perhaps relating to her father, or husband, that she embraced Protestantism so entirely? Incidentally, how could both her sons have been dukes? Surely Brandon had only one dukedom... Or did the elder die first and thus the younger became duke for his remaining half-hour of life (is that how it works between brothers?) And I had to smile wryly when you remarked upon how "we couldn't imagine what it would've been like just to leave everything and go to a foreign country" - sadly, millions of refugees know this situation all too well, and they rarely have comparable resources to those that Willoughby and husband doubtless took with them when they fled... Anyway, very interesting video, much appreciated :)

So true 👏🏻

Yes,the oldest son, the one who succeeded Charles Brandon as Duke of Suffolk, died of the sweating sickness, and his brother was duke for half an hour and then passed away of the same disease. His was the shortest tenancy of a peerage in English history.

@@edithengel2284 How fascinating (and tragic for the Brandon family), thank you for the information.

Many thanks for this interesting broadcast on Katherine Willoughby, she was an amazing individual.

Really enjoyed your broadcast. Chuckled when you spoke in an aside about your trip to Winnipeg. Be thankful your visit didn't take place during winter when the city is engulfed by snow and bitterly cold weather. I know. i grew up in Winnipeg. I've many happy memories of the place but none of them inspired by winter.

Fascinating. Inspiring. ty!

My thoughts. Overall….sad. Their mother’s were loyal friends, yet when Queen Mary I took the throne she had to flee her homeland. Religion and power. Oh how times have changed…yet stayed the same! They say we should learn from history, yet here we are!
Great video!

She is someone I'd like to be in the Tudor period. 😊

Willoughby and Parr both married powerful, unscrupulous, old men. Hmmmm.

[@edithengel2284]

Hmm. They had no choice, unfortunately.
