In Fiction
Lady Bryan makes an appearance in Kathryn Lasky's novel for young readers, Elizabeth I, Red Rose of the House of Tudor. In the book she is nicknamed "Muggie" by the four-year-old Princess Elizabeth. She also appears in The Lady Elizabeth by Alison Weir.
In the TV series The Tudors, the role of "Lady Margaret Bryan" is played by Jane Brennan. Like many of the characters in the show, she is a composite of the woman for whom she was based, and also of Anne Shelton who was in overall charge of the then Princess Elizabeth's household. Unlike Lady Bryan, Lady Shelton had a very difficult relationship with Mary Tudor, when she was living in Elizabeth's household.

“The beginning of human knowledge is through the senses, and the fiction writer begins where human perception begins. He appeals through the senses, and you cannot appeal to the senses with abstractions.”
