Her marriage to Philip of Spain was unpopular with her subjects, yet she won over her subjects!

2/2 Have a listen to this just-released podcast, in which I discuss the #ThomasWyatt poem with Suzannah Lipscomb. Start at 07:06 for a beautiful reading of the poem and our conversation (warning: later chapter spoilers follow!)

Sir Thomas Wyatt the Younger (1521 – 11 April 1554) was an English politician and rebel leader during the reign of Queen Mary I. Leader of "Wyatt's rebellion". He was the son of the English poet and ambassador Sir Thomas Wyatt. 💙📚⏳ #ThomasWyatt #EnglishRebellion #16thCentury #WyattRebellion
And on the subject of Wyatt, there really aren’t that many better sonnets than this one. Nor are there many better illustrations of just how dangerous - creatively and literally - poetry can be.

✒ Sir #ThomasWyatt, English poet and diplomat, #DOTD 11 October 1542. #Poetry #Literature
And wilt thou leave me thus
And have no more pity
Of him that loveth thee?
Hélas, thy cruelty!
And wilt thou leave me thus?
Say nay, say nay!

Mary Tudor, 38 married 27yr old Philip of Spain at Winchester Cathedral
Initially she was welcomed by her subjects, but this unpopular marriage caused unrest, led by #ThomasWyatt in which even Elizabeth I was implicated
Mary was clearly smitten, Philip was not!

Her marriage to Philip of Spain was unpopular, yet she won over her subjects!
Defeating the rebels who surrendered they were eventually executed
Throughout the world, if it were sought,
Fair words enough a man shall find:
They be good cheap, they cost right nought,
Their substance is but only wind,
But well to say and so to mean,
That sweet accord is seldom seen.
