Charles Brandon, duc de Suffolk
Viscount Lisle (1513) · 1st Duke of Suffolk (1514) · Knight of the Garter
Intimate friend of Henry VIII and his brother-in-law through his secret marriage to Mary Tudor in 1515, Charles Brandon (c. 1484–1545), created Duke of Suffolk in 1514, is associated with two English castles. The king gave him Donnington Castle (Berkshire) in 1512, which he returned to the Crown after 1533. Having bought the wardship of the heiress Katherine Willoughby, he married her himself and, from 1539, rebuilt Grimsthorpe Castle (Lincolnshire), where the couple, installed around 1540, received Henry VIII for three days in 1541 during the royal progress to York. He was buried at Windsor at the king's expense.

Grimsthorpe, a residence to host the king
Through his marriage to Katherine Willoughby, Brandon becomes master of an estate that Henry VIII himself had granted to the Willoughbys in 1516. He remodels the old castle into a Tudor residence from 1539, in time to host the king and court in 1541. A portrait of the duke wearing the insignia of the Garter is preserved at the castle.
