Charles Brandon had previously been married to Mary Tudor, sister of King Henry VIII of England. Following Mary's death and the death of his only son, Henry Brandon, 1st Earl of Lincoln, he had married Catherine, who had been intended as the bride of his son Henry.

Henry Brandon succeeded his father to the dukedom in 1545. He and his younger brother were both minors and continued their education by going up to St John's College, Cambridge. During an epidemic of the sweating sickness, the two youths died, Henry first and Charles about an hour later [ [http://www.luminarium.org/encyclopedia/suffolk.htm Charles Brandon] ] . They died in the village of Buckden, near Huntingdon, where they had fled in an attempt to escape the epidemic.
