Description

Catherine of Aragon: Henry's Spanish Queen Catherine of Aragon was a woman of remarkable passion and steel, who left an indelible mark on English history. Born into a family of conquistadors, she inherited her parents' fierce determination and led the defeat of the Scots at the Battle of Flodden. When she married Henry VIII, she was an auburn-haired beauty in her twenties, but it was her unyielding spirit that would prove to be the most formidable opponent of his reign. Giles Tremlett's biography is a fresh and detailed exploration of Catherine's life, drawing on new material from Spain to bring her story to life. This is the first biography in over four decades to focus solely on Catherine, and it sheds new light on the dramatic events of her life. By tracing her story through her own eyes, Tremlett brilliantly breathes life into the shadowy figure of a stubborn and heroic woman. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in Tudor history, this biography is a fascinating and enriching read that will leave you with a new understanding of one of England's most fascinating monarchs.
