Phillip, Count Palatine, Duke of Bavaria as played by Colin O'Donoghue
born 12 November 1503 - died 4 July 1548
Character's backstory: On the 8th December, 1539 there arrived in London a mysterious visitor from Germany, Phillip duke of Bavaria, a nephew of the Count Palatine who had been in England in September..... he had come promptly, in spite of the dangers of the journey and the bitterness of the weather, to ask a high favour, which he had been told there was some hope of his obtaining—the hand of the King's daughter Princess Mary Tudor. Whether this had been whispered to his uncle, the Count Palatine, when he was in England, or how the intimation was conveyed, does not appear. Neither is it recorded what passed between him and the Council for a week after his arrival; but on the 17th December, Wriothesley presented himself at Hertford Castle, where Princess Mary Tudor was then staying, and delivered to her a token from the King with a very special message....[she said] Matrimony was a "kind of religion " which she certainly had no mind to enter, especially as she evidently feared that her doing so under these circumstances would be an additional hindrance to the cause of religion itself. For the match, in fact, was only another alliance by which the King hoped to strengthen himself with the aid of German princes of the Schmalkaldic League against the Emperor Charles V; and the treaty, by which Philip engaged to take Mary as a bastard incapable of claiming any inheritance by the laws of England, was to be confirmed by his brother, Otto Henry (afterwards Elector Palatine), and his two uncles, Louis, the present Elector Palatine, and his brother Frederic, the Count Palatine, who had been so recently in England.These princes would thus be committed to a repudiation of the Pope's authority in regarding Mary as a bastard."
