Question from Anonymous - Death of Mary Tudor

What did Mary Tudor, Queen of Portugal and France, die of? Was she ill for long?

[I didn't have an email address to reply directly to this question, so I'll just do it here. - There were a couple of previous threads about her death, which I will post below. And I should point out that Mary Tudor wasn't Queen of Portugal, only France, as well as the Duchess of Suffolk. There may have been some confusion caused by "The Tudors" television series and I've included a link to a previous post about that as well. - Lara]
