    In the summer of 1550, Princess Mary, the eldest daughter of Henry VIII, was packing her belongings and preparing to flee her home.

    Her Tudor brother was the figurehead for an increasingly Protestant regime. Mary clung to her mother's Catholicism.

    She feared for her life and, as the pressure on her to conform grew, she turned to her powerful relatives abroad.

    She could be safe again, but they could only protect her if she left England.
