Her Mother's Daughter: A Novel of Queen Mary Tudor by Julianne Lee:

"My father, then my brother, had sway over my body and my behavior regarding worldly matters, but nobody, nothing, could ever take my faith from me or cause me to betray God. As much as I loved my dresses and jewels, as much as I loved my father and my brother, they were never so dear to me as my faith, for it was as myself." ~page 132

That quote explains a lot. I always felt bad for Mary, never really loved.
