Four generations of Brandon men lived and served six English kings,
the most famous being Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, best friend
and brother-in-law to King Henry VIII. Yet his family had a long
history tied closely to the kings of the Wars of the Roses back to
Henry VI. Charles Brandon's father, Sir William Brandon, supported
Henry Tudor's claim on the throne and became his standard bearer,
dying at the Battle of Bosworth. Charles's uncle, Sir Thomas
Brandon, was Henry VII's Master of the Horse, one of the three
highest positions within the court. Charles's grandfather had ties
with Henry VI, Edward IV and Richard III. These men held important
offices, made great sacrifices, walked the fine line between being
loyal courtiers and traitors, and even gave their lives, all in the
name of loyalty to the king they served. No more shall the Brandon
name be an obscure reference in archives. It is time for them to
emerge from the shadows of history.
