Humphrey Marlow
Miles Hendon’s younger brother. Hugh was always selfish and greedy and he wanted to get his hands on Lady Edith’s fortune. However, Edith is supposed to marry Hugh’s oldest brother, Arthur, and she is in love with Hugh’s other brother Miles. Arthur’s health starts failing, so Hugh tells Sir Richard Hendon (their father) that Miles plans on taking Edith away and marrying her, and Richard sends Miles away with the military. After Arthur dies, Hugh forges a letter saying that Miles has died so that Richard will let him marry Edith (who doesn’t want to but goes along with it). Hugh is a cruel husband and landholder (he claims his father’s title of baronet when he dies), so nobody likes him. When Miles reappears, Hugh denies knowing him and has him and Edward Tudor arrested. Hugh travels to Edward’s palace in London after Edward successfully reclaims his throne and is coronated as King of England. Edward recognizes him, strips him of his land and title, and has him arrested. Hugh is never formally prosecuted, but he abandons Edith, flees England, and dies a short time later.
