Who Was Charles Brandon Played by Henry Cavill in ‘The Tudors’? Here’s Everything You Need to Know About King Henry Viii’s Ally

The British actor, Henry Cavill [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] has
played the characters who stood up to the authorities. For instance, Superman,
Sherlock Holmes, and Geralt of Rivia. However, this started from the very
beginning of his career. The 39-year-old actor played a very powerful character
at the very beginning of his career in The Tudors. And the character was none
other than Charles Brandon.

Charles Brandon was the closest friend and loyal ally of King Henry VIII. Apart
from the King himself, Brandon is the only character who appears in every
episode of the series. Not only in the show but also in reality, Brandon was the
only one who was able to be dear to the king for over forty years. Apart from
being the first Duke of Suffolk, Brandon also was the President of the Privy
Council alongside the Duke of Norfolk. This is where it started for the English
actor. Before becoming the famous Geralt of Rivia,

Henry Cavill played this powerful historic character The Tudors.



Despite being close to Henry, Charles once disobeyed the king as he married the
King’s sister, Princess Margaret Tudor. In the beginning, Brandon was rather an
immature and sexually deviant human. However, he grew into a mature man as he
got used to the power that the king gave him. Brandon always considered Henry
VIII his friend. However, there were times when he felt disillusioned about the
cruel events of the king’s reign.

Brandon, who was often addressed as ‘your grace’ or ‘Suffolk’ in court, played a
key role in the downfall of many big heads. Those names include Queen Anne
Boleyn and her family, Cardinal Wolsey, sir, and Thomas Cromwell. The history is
wider and deeper. So, when it comes on to the big screen, it appeals to people
while bringing out the hidden facts from the past.


BUT WHO WAS THE REAL CHARLES BRANDON PLAYED BY HENRY CAVILL IN THE TUDORS?

Born in 1484 and died in 1545, Charles Brandon has a surprisingly long life span
for someone of those times. William Brandon, Charles’ father, was Henry VII’s
standard bearer. He died defending Henry VII from Richard III at the Battle of
Bosworth Field. Charles’ mother died when he was 10. Orphaned at a young age, it
is speculated that his uncle sent him to the Royal Court. Nevertheless, because
Brandon was not a prominent figure or had much money, his case relied more on
sentiment.



Charles, despite his Catholic upbringing, was more open-minded to Protestantism
than many of his contemporaries. In fact, he even profited from the Reformation
as well. Because the show fictionalized some things while omitting some aspects,
Charles Brandon from the history is somewhat different. As recorded by
Britannica,

Charles Brandon had a thrilling and memorable life.
