Very interesting post, thank you for highlighting this. I discovered a similarly unlikely close personal connection between Mary and the Protestant translator and active promoter of religious reform Lady Anne Bacon, who served Mary both before and throughout her reign. I've explored the conundrum of her closeness to Mary in my recent book, Lady Anne Bacon: A woman of learning at the Tudor court.
