Re: sf/f TV development news - 2013

^^^Mary went to France when she was about five years old, not fiteen. She was married at 15, not betrothed, I think. She was Queen of France at 16, but her husband died after reigning less than a year.

I was double checking my memory at Wikipedia, when I noticed it says Mary was 5'11"!

The truth is actually more exotic than Hollywood, but we're obviously getting the supposedly dramatic version.
