Mary, the red queen's daughter

Mary, the orphaned daughter of former Queen Katherine, the last wife of King Henry VIII, and Sir Thomas Seymore (who was brother to the king's third wife, Jane)was a real girl. But Mary seems to dissapear from history after her mother's tragic death shortly after Mary's birth. So the author chose to write about this Mary. In the story Mary is a strong and curious child to begin with, and grows into a beautiful young woman. In the book, she is also studying magic with her guardian, Lady Strange. She wishes to learn as much as she can about her mother and follow in her footsteps. She is quick and clever, and very observant. Already she has decided that love is the enemy, and can turn the most sensible women sensless, as it did to her mother and first guardian. She is a very interesting main character, and it makes me wonder what really did become of Mary Seymore?
