mary, who was the daughter of the dowager princess of wales, was suggested by the admiral of france to be betrothed to the dauphin. henry was furious and instead wanted his daughter, elizabeth to be betrothed to francis's son. the admiral rebuked his consideration and warned that the holy roman emperor's daughter could be married to the dauphin. the royal couple were mortified as such an alliance would categorically isolate england from europe during such a critical time.
