A stunning new full-length biography of Queen Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII's wife of over twenty years. The first ever written by a female historian and to concentrate on Catherine as a Tudor woman, rather than a pawn of in the dynastic power plays of men.

First published in 1941, eminent European historian Garrett Mattingly’s Catherine of Aragon was the first real biography of the youngest daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella who married Henry VIII. She loved England and England loved her from the day she landed—an outwardly brave, inwardly scared fifteen-year-old—to the day of her death. Henry loved her longer and more loyally than he ever loved anyone else, lived in wedded peace with her for eighteen years, and in uneasy friendship for four more after he had started proceedings for divorce. She loved Henry better than anyone else ever did, and found in her love the courage to oppose him more unflinchingly than anyone else ever dared to do. The clash of their formidable wills changed the course of history. This vivid, dramatic biography, with its smallest detail resting solidly on painstaking research, discloses a new English heroine and presents the whole epoch of Henry VIII in a new light, startlingly revealing and utterly convincing.

Catherine of Aragon is an inextricable part of the Tudor dynasty narrative. As the first wife of the infamous Henry VIII, she is a figure modern works often struggle to understand. A devout Roman Catholic of royal blood, she seems an unlikely heroic figure, yet there is evidence she was that and so much more.Some authors prefer to depict her as simply ugly and unattractive to Henry. Some reason that it was appropriate for him to be attracted to more beautiful women. Others assume her religious devotion turned him away. Still others see her as a pious woman deserving of sainthood. Was Catherine any of these things, or was she all of them? Was she just a woman trying to make the best of a bad situation and failing? I see Catherine as a more nuanced character and an infinitely more human one. Hers is a life that will fascinate for a long time to come and without the possibility of a definitive work, will continue to be written about.So with a sense of humor that has often been described as 'unfortunate' and a longtime obsession with history, I make my contribution to Catherine of Aragon. My short biography is written for readers like me who don't want to slog through a dry tome to learn about history - and who don't want to be talked down to. Catherine's life plays out from birth to death, with attention to detail and examination of some of the circumstances surrounding the myths and misconceptions of her and her place in history. Using what is known about her, every effort was made to let Catherine speak for herself. She might just be telling us that she was in fact a heroic human with a story worth keeping alive.

Katheryn Parr is mainly remembered today as being the sixth wife of King Henry VIII, the one who ‘survived’. Katheryn was not only a wife but a queen, mother, reformer, and author. Katheryn would face a number of events in her lifetime including being held to ransom during the Pilgrimage of Grace, being placed as regent while Henry was in France, a role which only one of his five previous wives held, her namesake Katherine of Aragon, and overcame a plot which would have led to her arrest and execution. While Queen she was able to unite the Tudor family and establish some form of happiness for Henry VIII’s three children. Raised by her mother Maud Parr, under a humanist education, Katheryn was intelligent enough to understand her role in life and was not afraid to do her research. Although raised a Catholic, Katheryn became a reformer and went on to write a number of religious texts, being the first female in England to ever have a book published under her own name. She was loyal not only to her family but her servants and the women of her court. She loved her stepchildren and provided them with a mother's love and a role model which her stepdaughters could learn from. Her views on what was expected of her placed her into an open conflict with her brother-in-law Edward Seymour and his wife Anne. This book explores the various roles she had in her lifetime and the passion and duty she put into them, even if it meant putting others first. It will explore her love for Thomas Seymour and how it blindsided her and led to a sad end of her life, and the book will finally look at her legacy - the influence she had on Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen Elizabeth I.
