Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })When Knighthood Was in Flower is a 1922 film directed by Robert G. Vignola, starring Marion Davies.It is set at the court of King Henry VIII, and stars Davies as the king's sister, Mary Tudor. Vivacious young Mary is a highly sought-after marriage candidate both for her noble standing and her beauty. Her brother Henry decides to marry her to Louis XII, king of France, to cement an alliance between the two countries. There are a couple of problems with this, however. Mary is scornful of the idea that she is a pawn to be married off. She is particularly repulsed by the idea of marrying Louis, who is a doddering old man. And most inconveniently for Henry, his sister has fallen in love with Charles Brandon, a captain in Henry's guard. They are determined to be married no matter what.Produced by William Randolph Hearst, Davies' paramour; the most successful of the elaborate costume dramas Davies made during this era. A 30-year-old William Powell, in only his second movie, appears as Francis, King Louis's nephew and heir (later King Francis I).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Artistic License – History: Charles Brandon was not a commoner. He was the son of a knight—Henry VII's bannerman at Bosworth Field, in fact—and had grown up in the Tudor court. He was created Duke of Suffolk before he got married to Mary. And there was no dramatic flight from Francis's court, although they did get married in secret without telling her brother.

Abhorrent Admirer: King Louis XII is pretty stoked at the idea of getting a hot young wife, but Mary is much less enthusiastic about him. Francis, young and handsome but thoroughly creepy, is abhorrent to Mary in a whole different way.

And Starring: After everyone else in the cast is introduced in the opening credits with their name and picture, there's a card that says simply "And", followed by Davies' picture and name.
