 The couple wed in secret at the Hotel de Clugny in Paris on 3 March 1515 in the presence of just 10 people, among them King Francis I. Technically, this was treason as Charles Brandon had married a royal princess without King Henry's consent.Thus Henry was outraged, and the privy council urged that Charles be imprisoned or executed.Because of the intervention of Thomas Wolsey, and Henry's affection for both his sister and Charles, the couple were given only a heavy fine of £24,000 to be paid to the King in yearly installments of £1000, as well as the whole of Mary's dowry from King Louis XII of £200,000, together with the gold plate and jewels King Louis had given or promised her.
