Notably, he was King Henry VIII's close friend and brother-in-law. However, the Brandon family's ties to the kings of the Wars of the Roses extended far back to Henry VI. Charles Brandon's father, Sir William Brandon, played a pivotal role in supporting Henry Tudor's claim to the throne and served as his standard bearer, tragically perishing at the Battle of Bosworth. Charles's uncle, Sir Thomas Brandon, held the esteemed position of Master of the Horse, one of the highest court positions. His grandfather had connections with Henry VI, Edward IV, and Richard III, all of whom held significant offices and made significant sacrifices in the name of loyalty to their kings. The Brandon men walked a delicate line between loyalty to the king and betrayals, sometimes even risking their lives. It is time for the Brandon family to reclaim their rightful place in history, shedding the obscurity that has shrouded them in the annals of archives. Their story deserves to be illuminated and recognized for the contributions they made during a turbulent period in English royalty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 560g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 166 x 241 x 30 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781445686271                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sarah Bryson","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44093455499514,"sku":"9781445686271","price":14.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/74ada7ccdc68c10e0593bf03dbcb0a3e.jpg?v=1632190869","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/brandon-men-in-the-shadow-of-kings","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
