Description

Catherine of Aragon's story is one of courage and resilience in the face of adversity. Born into a royal family, she was sent to England as a young woman to marry Prince Arthur, but her life took a dramatic turn when he died soon after their wedding. She then married his brother Henry, only to find herself facing new challenges, including his infatuation with Anne Boleyn. As the queen of England, Catherine found herself surrounded by strong partisans and faced with the might of Spanish arms as she defended her union with King Henry. Despite being discarded by him, she remained determined to protect her daughter Mary's claim to the throne. This is a powerful and moving novel that brings to life the story of one of history's most fascinating women. Through Catherine's eyes, Carolly Erickson tells a tale of love, loss, and survival in 16th-century England, set against the backdrop of war, politics, and personal struggle.
