I just read The Constant Princess by Philippa Gregory. I'd known this title for years and I didn't want to read it cause it was "too girly" . I love you Catalina. P.S. It's very important historians are NOT NEUTRAL. We, learning folks, have to make our own minds, be critical of many passionate preachers. And through that make our own minds. And only then all that learning won't be in vain. If everyone is neutral, history is just dust.
I love Catherine of Aragon so much, specially after reading the Historical Fiction novel: The constant Princess by Philippa Gregory. Catherine is amazing, and when I grow up I hope I get to play a role as her in a movie.
P.S. I also love her cause my name is Catharina and I never really liked it until now :)
he also could have matched her to an english nobel or a french prince and make an alliance. i think philip was all wrong for her. he was handsom and beautiful, and she was madly in love with him..there is no doubt. she ehould have married young and give henry a grandson. but tudor lineage showed...the girls were strong, the boys weak and they died. too bad. many things were against the tudors at lasting...but they will never be forgotten. the most famous dynasty of any knigdom...bar none.
she was the victom of her husband's lust and willfullness. she was a good loving wife. mary suffered from her father's ambition and greedy lust. she may have been a great queen had she been brought up to rule. she was her husband's pawn, she submitted to his will. i always wondered why henry did not ry and marry mary off at a young age. she may have had a son and he could have raised him to relpace him and she regent under him unbtil he was of age.....
Catalina was Spanish, born in Alcalá de Henares, like Miguel de Cervantes, was blonde with blue eyes as her mother Isabel La Católica. I don't know why it is always a brunette actress who plays her... Do the Spanish can not be blond and red hair? I am redhead, lol. She was the best Queen for a villain King as Henry VIII. Spain love Catalina!
Henry got rid of "Kate" (how ironic) to start his new "church" that is now being overrun by lesbians and homosexuals. What a proud tradition! The murderous pig that was Henry died, some say, of syphilis. Another irony.
@CherryBooooomb NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!! *for the record i dont think she went 'mad' as everyone claims she did its more....she acted the same way a woman of these times would cuss her man out for cheating and beat him over the head >,>*
As for Catherine she was the very best of the wives, and i bet the most loyal, vigourous, generous and far above all more loving. Henry was a dull fool for the way he treated her.
@FellowTownsman yes, but it was near impossible to have a son. In those times women acting as Queen was inconceivable. In a sense Henry had no real choice. His new infatuation for Anne Boleyn is derived from his waning love for Catherine.
This woman should be canonized a saint, she is one of the greatest women who ever lived, I don't care what people say about Anne Boleyn, Anne was nothing compared to Catherine.
@Murdoc2Dbabe I agree, what she went through before her marriage to Henry after his older brother died.This was a good woman, he was so lucky to have her. While Boleyn might have not been the most evil woman in the world, Catherine conducted herself with a grace and dignity that would be hard to replace.
This is the first time I have seen the extent of that headdress in that very young portrait of her (starts about 1:43). How on earth did ladies keep those things on their heads??
@bengusandlex Why is it so impossible to believe that she was still a virgin? These were very different times, they were naive 14 year olds. two centuries later it would take Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI seven years to consummate their marriage, these were not teenagers of today!!! It's entirely possible. And the issue of her virginity was brought up before Henry married her, they had the Pope write a special edict stating that she was still a virgin, before the marriage took place!!
@plutogirllovekj As far as recreation and sexual relations the Tudor's werent as backward as some claim.
Education on sex and the opposite sex would of been taught to these boys early on, as one of the main requirements as king would be to provide a succesor.
And without been too crude at 14 years of age if i had been raised at westminster palace and was socialising daily with young women with heaving cleavages through their dresses i certainly wouldnt of shy'd away, teenager today or not.
@bengusandlex It's unlikely but not impossible, both for the reasons plutogirllovekj suggests, and also, if I'm not mistaken, Arthur was never very hardy. It's possible that he was ignorant of what to do and/or unable. In either case neither of them -- certainly not the new husband -- would have wanted it publicized.
@MrsNorris55 I'm not convinced Arthur was ignorent in sex, his education was the best offered at the time and he would of been very aware of the attributes of the fairer sex, he would of had to have been as a future king of England.
@bengusandlex Tbh I dont think that it makes much difference whether Arthur and Catherines marriage was consummated. Henry would have found a way to get rid of her in the end. The thing that makes me laugh though is the fact that Henry used an argument from Levitucus as evidence that his marriage was sinful. However, there is also an argument (i think its in Exodus or Genesis, i cant remember atm) that said that it was the duty of a brother to marry his dead brothers wife! Ah the contadictions!!
The 3 Henri's children's reigns are the mirrors of their own mother. Edouard was a week and fragile king, who died young, (which proove the small intensity of love between Jane and the king, Marie'reign was terrible! the "bloody Marie" was full of hate and revange!....like her mother's prayers, and the "golden age" and peace during 45 years olds was during elizabeth's reign. For me, it means the great and absolute love henri and ann have lived.
Catherine of Aragon....the great and wonderful queen whith her great faith and piety! and of course....who was unable to have bad things in her conscious...So tell me, is it not strange that a person like that wasn't shocked when emperor's soldiers had ravage rome and had killed many many monks in a atrocity manners! No. She was happy of all that, cause she knew that the Pope, who was the emperor's prisonner, never consented a divorce in that situation. What a saint!
What Henry VIII did to his wife Katherine of Aragon was inhumane, may he burn in Hell for Eternity! He impregnated Anne Boleyns older sister Mary and that child is called a Bastard how many other illegitimate children of his are Not mentioned in the royal lineage of English History who knows? Katherine was his Wife of 27 yrs born of Royal Blood remember her Parents Financed the Discovery of America. Katherine was Royal and Loyal to Henry VIII who became a perverted, self-centered Murderer.

We came a long way and I thank God for that. Back then it was the woman's fault if she didn't give birth to a son,but now we know the male determines the sex of the child not the woman.So King Henry could not have a son because something was wrong with him, it wasn't any of his wife's fault.
the big problem for the king was his fear of dieing without leaving a male heir.He was conscious of the fact that the last time England was ruled by a woman (Queen Mathilda in the 12 th Century,) there was a civil war. He decided to divorce Catherine after 24 years waiting in vain to have a son.
En realidad se puede decir que la unica esposa legitima que tuvo el tal rey Enrique Vlll ese fue Catalina de Aragon, porque despues desde Ana Bolena hasta Catalina Parr son esposas ilegitimas ante la Iglesia Catolica de Roma y los hijos habidos bastardos.
Catalina De Aragón. Preciosa mujer, hija de los Reyes Católicos, que tuvieron las princesas mejores educadas y formadas de Europa. Una belleza castellana, rubia ojos claros, no sé, por qué cuando hacen una serie sobre este tema, ella es morena y bigotuda... Dejémonos de tópicos y hagamos las cosas como fueron.
Thank you for one of the most Unbiased accounts i've seen on here of the Tudors, one the things I haven't seen is that Mary passed on to Elizebeth as queen. And on her dying bed her request was to be buried with her mother, Elizebeth ignored this and had her buried elsewhere an when she ( Elizebeth died) she was buried on top of Maery with a small inscription for Mary.
@Tekirai Sadly it wont happen currently, there is too much anti catholic/papist fervour still in the UK. Even todaythe royals cannot marry a Catholic or become a Catholic, if they do they will forsakethe throne being King or queen of England. There was a move to change this in the past 2 years but it was swiftly sweeped away. Mary will always be known as a Catholic an for the 300 protestants who were executed, however this was after the Lady Jane Grey plot. It was also minimum compared to cetain
@100percentbabeLOL aww that breaks my heart to know that but yknow this whole catholic is bad thing started when mary father broke away in my opinion.
@Tekirai Tekirai It was also minimum compared to cetain other Tudors who ruled. And the laws they passed it wasn't a pleasant time to be in, but yes i do agree they should bury her with her mother.
Queen Catherine was a real queen and a real woman: intelligent, passionate, steadfast, loyal, royal, regal and beloved of the English people. She also showed very real holiness and forgiveness in the face of terrible injustice and cruelty. She should have been canonised.
I am Japanese who has the website 「History of England」. I feel the profound compassion in Queen Katherine of Aragon. I think that She sent a beautiful the most among Henry VIII's six wives.I cannot sympathize with Anne.Bolyen for her selfishness. Anne.Bolyen did not feel the pity in Catherine at all. Jene Seymour did not sympathize with Anne because Anne was cruel either. I understand so.

I have always felt henry treated Queen Katherine with disrespect and blatent cruelty.
. Katherine was a fine queen being born into a great royal family and raised to be a great woman with a deeply rooted Catholic faith that she needed to get her through Henry's selfish behavior..I wonder why they didn't try to have her head fall into a basket. I don't think it was love. He surely knew her nephew would seek revenge.
The Emperor Charles has been elected with the money of Jacob Fugger, a global player of those times Augsburg, Germany, and he also financed the election of the pope...
The Fuggers have been strictly Catholic, due to their business interest.
England was not on their lost, which was their undoeing concerning their overseas possesions.
Henry VII didn't fall in love with Anne, he fell out of love with Catherine. He wanted to shag some young lady. The fact that Anne played hard to get, made her Queen. Yet, lost her head in the end. Henry was a complete murdering bloody maniac!
Henry as a very good looking man in his younger live and he was a "womanizer" at his good days. Therfore he was infected by the syphillis, a sickness -undefendable at those times. Syphilis attacks strongly the brain.
my my my katherine was a unique woman in my eyes heart and it stinks that she had to go through all the crap henry put her through so he could get to that throne stealing harlot >:( she must feel proud that people of this time call her 'queen' still
The most regal Queen of them all. She suffered so much in her life,but I like to believe she's at peace now.
She carried herself like a true Queen in circumstances that would have driven anyone to murder. She could have called down Spain's wrath on England,but she didn't. A truly remarkable woman.
It's nice to know that people still leave tributes at her grave.
ITA. Of all of Henry VIII's wives I admire her the most. He may have tried to 'strip' her of her true title-but in the end he did not succeed. Her tombstone says "Katherine of Aragon-Queen of England"-and there isn't a darn thing Old Henry can do about it.
Spain's wrath failed on England anyway at the Armada years later, and that was the cause of it all anyway, as the wrath passed on to the children.
However, having said that Katherine loved England and her people so good homage to her for that.
As for Henry he was weak in his marriage to her and should of shown a demonstration of how strong he was by refusing all other women and doing his duty by Katherine, sadly not to be, very much to his discredit.
I love Katherine of Aragon. She was a strong corageous woman and gave up all her happiness to secure her daughter's claim for the throne. She had such a hard life. She was widowed at 16, her father in law was cruel to her until she died and she only got to enjoy a few years of bliss with Henry before he started taking mistresses and stopped sleeping with her. Even with her last letter to him , she still spoke of her devotion and love for the King.
I like Queen Katherine of Aragon the most among Henry VIII's six wives. I admire her unwavering faith and piety. And even though she wasn't beheaded unlike the other wives, she, too, endured so much suffering. May she and her beloved daughter Mary be reunited someday.
@huntresskrystle It is actually widely thought that because of Catherine's...loneliness/despair that her peity grew to be her only solace. Historians will agree that perhaps she was a bit too wrapped up in it. Such as Mary becoming the bloody queen she was due to her mother's influence
@CaitlinSk and be a piety person is a sin? mary like others queens ( like Catherine of medici queen of France) or the anabaptists, or calvinistskings or princes. Even Luthero talk to expulse the jews to his german prince
they also executed many people and not only for being catholics ..
But the black legend about Spain and catholicism is the best propaganda of the protestants countries, and they nothing say about their tortures and executions
@huntresskrystle are you living in the dark ages?she was only a ignorant fool used by the vatican,so il papa good play his power-games.
in the hope she was that naive,and gave il papa a reason to start one of their many war,swich led to the death,s of hunderdthousands of innocent people.
Eso está claro. Catalina fue una de las princesas más bellas de su época, pero si nos atenemos sólo al físico, hay que tener en cuenta que cuando Enrique VIII conoció a Ana Bolena, ésta tenía 24 años, y Catalina 40... de los de entonces...
@izarob Si, pero eso no quita que la poca vergüenza sea la misma, que no se va uno de la Iglesia oficial por una puta...puta que a los mil dias envia al patibulo. Tan Puta era ella como un cerdo el.
@juancar988 Él es un hipócrita, por lo que dices. Por otro lado, hay que tener en cuenta la convicción que tenían de reinar "por la gracia de Dios", y que la falta de un heredero varón (aunque no había ley sálica, hasta entonces en Inglaterra habían fracasado las reinas) posiblemente sí le podía hacer pensar en un castigo divino.
De todas formas una cosa es renegar de la Iglesia de Roma, y otra erigirse en cabeza de la Iglesia Anglicana para hacer y deshacer a su conveniencia...
@izarob Eso es lo mas desastroso de la historia de Inglaterra no hay similes en otros paises de caso parecido. A mi lo de la gracia de Dios me parece bien pero lo que se hace en la tierra escrito queda, yo creo que el los castigos divinos se los quitaba de encima pronto con una señora nueva (aunque creo que castigos si que tuvo si) que la Seymur se le murio a la semana del parto. Su reinado no deja de ser una dictadura y el nunca deja de ser un cerdo.
@juancar988 Entiéndeme bien, hago de abogado del diablo... Todos tenemos luces y sombras.
La democracia no era cosa de entonces, y todos los reinados eran dictaduras, dictaduras por la gracia de Dios, tanto más cuanto más poder real tuvieran...
Todos los reyes (bueno, dejémoslo en casi todos) tenían amantes, sólo que él quiso legalizar sus relaciones.
Y todos (en lo de antes y también en esto, príncipes de la Iglesia incluidos) se cargaban, si podían, a sus enemigos políticos.
@izarob Yo te entiendo bien en cuanto a tu labor de abogado del diablo, el rey Felipe ll (aunque nunca se diga claro) fue amante de la princesa de Eboli, pues hay cartas de ella dirigidas al monarca en terminos de "tu" y no de su majestad etc. y eso dice mucho. Por supuesto que se vivia en una cultura muy precaria (la historia se estaba escribiendo) y aunque el medievo ya paso lo cierto es que aun quedaba mucho por hacer. De todos modos Enrique Vlll tuvo amantes tambien, no solo 6 esposas.
@izarob solo una mujer intento reinar en inglaterra y fu ematilde, pero por otra parte tenia buenos ejemplos de que en otros países incluidos el de su esposa, las mujeres reinaban sin problemas mayores, incluso en su propia vecina del norte Escocia reinaba Maria Estuardo que era una bebe bajo la regencia de su madre..
it wouldn't surprise me... after all, she was stripped of her title, banished, forbidden to see the worst woman in the world, he daughter Mary, she also never had her letters replied to, and died lonely... Jesus, god, never let Henry and Catherine meet in the afterlife, but let Mary and Catherine be reunited...
But Katherine was by no means weak. She stood up very resolutely to Henry's demands for a divorce, she refused to give up her right to be queen for almost 10 years. Even on her death bed she called herself the Queen of England.
All of Henry's wives had strength. It was just different kinds of strength.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
she believed in things that weren't true, because when Henry VIII got married with anne boleyn , she was no longer a queen.I respect her memorie because she was a queen of England but I just don't identify myself with her personality
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I never understood why he married her in the first place. She was a hand me down wife from his brother, and what is it about the English Royals marrying foreigners?
Cant they pick from their own country?
And before anyone starts its a fair point, nothing wrong at all in sticking with your own.
they married foreigners because the foreigners that they marry are royal and if they married them then there could be 'peace' between the two countries. it joins the two kingdoms together.
I realise that, but it didnt do much good anyway, their children were feuding against one another which caused the Spanish armarda. So, so much for peace between the two countries.
Marriages back then, amongst nobles and royals especially, were made for alliances and political purposes. If you actually loved your betrothed didn't matter, it was just a bonus..
I know another similar history, but unfortunately it didn't arrive to marriage. A daughter of Edward III of England, Juana (I imagine " Joan" or " Joanne " in english) she died of the black pest in France, when she went to Spain to marry with a son of king Alfonso XI
Very true, history is biased (Mary) against her but your so right. May they both now RIP and be joined, in the last years Henry kept mother and daughter apart!.
Your just a Romophobic prick @ PEYMAANIA, calling Queen Catherine of Aragon a ''Filthy Papist Whore''. She was NEVER a whore, and she has more decorum in her RIP then you will EVER have. Good for her she was/is a papist Catholic. She has self respect unlike you you ignorant prick!. This is 2009 not the 1500s Proddy hater!.
@ peymamaania your reponse. ''I just wrote that to see what kind of messages I would get. Clearly I was being provocative.' What you mean is you was out to provoke a response from papists (in your mind aka Catholics). Well that speaks volumes about you as a person!. Talking about history you should look at the protestant history, thousands died under Henry, Luther (Anti semetic), puritians to name a few. As for Islam they were spreading Islam by the sword in those days that was both sides!.
@ peymamaania, to finish I will add this. The pope you refer to during WW2 helped Jewish people, many Catholics and non Catholics helped aswell and died. Even Jewish people agree with this about the pope of the time and do not try to tell me otherwise I had family in those camps. lastly the Catholic church is the BIGGEST charity in the world, helping the poor and sick!. Your mind is set in the middle ages and ignorance and it was people like you with your mindset that caused death and misery!!.
Really? Here we go again, another anti Spain moron here.
Free lesson, son: "Spanish" America is 60-90% Amerindian DNA. (Google America DNA Amerindian with CIA data). Compare with the % of native population left in (anglo) US of America, Australia, New Zealand, all colonized by Protestants.
See also: Africa colonized by Protestant Brits, Dutch, Germans.
oh yeah? What about all the stuff Islam has done? The very religion calls for killing of infidels! Sorry, but I had to speak up! The Crusades were a counterattack against the Islamic jihad culture. Were they wrong? Yes! But most people if they're being attacked, fight back! Here's the difference- people who are Christians are supposed to practice love and forgiveness- it's not God's fault if they don't. But Muslims are supposed to 'slay the infidel.' Now tell me which religion is worse!
I agree. The "all religions are equal" is pc bollocks. And don´t forget that prior to the preaching of Catholicism, South and Central America saw the practice of RELIGIOUS human sacrifices of the oppressed as an offering to a God of War -and at a massive industrial scale. Christianity meant: God, a God of Love, condemns the human sacrifice.
exactly! I don't agree with how the Spainiards spread Catholocism, but ultimately, I think human sacrifice was worse I was told to "keep an open mind" about it and I'm sorry, but how would you feel if YOU were the one on top of that pyramid getting your heart rippd out? The pc liberals never think of that!
I agree with you and i am Catholic, throughout history we have had good and bad popes, just like there has been good and bad queens/goverments. Sadly that is to do with human nature and power, Spain was very powerful politically at the time which had alot to do with it. The crusades was on both sides, and islam likes to forget how it was spread by the sword throughout history. Without the mention of today's jihad by extremists and sharia lae advocats!.
ugh! I know. As a woman, Islam offends me. People tell me Christianity is the same, but even in the Middle Ages, women had the option of joining convents and becoming educated that way, and I know of no Christian countries(at least nominally Christian) where female babies are sex selectedly aborted or forced to wear burkas or killed for being female.
Very true, don't get me started on Islam. The current Arc Bishop of henry VII Church of England was trying to premote Sharia Law in the UK. OVER my DEAD body!.

I know, I was thinking of doing a tribute to all of Henry VII's wifes and children soon, they all deserve it. I couldn't believe it when i meet a fan of the real Henry VII and the sun shone out of his ......... O_o
It is however truly amazing that in order to get out of things how one starts to quote the Bible even richer still is the thought of creating your own church thereby enacting any law you wish to put forth
I just read The Constant Princess by Philippa Gregory. I'd known this title for years and I didn't want to read it cause it was "too girly" . I love you Catalina. P.S.

Catherine and Arthur were married for five months before his death. Are you trying to tell me that marriage wasnt consummated in that time?
Believe what you want, but in that 5 month period between November 1501 - April 1502, Arthur had sexual intercourse with his wife, and rightfully so.
Surprised Henry didnt suss this himself before marrying her.
She was a decent and good woman though i'm not doubting that for a moment.
But a virgin when she came to Henry's bed? No.

@bengusandlex It's unlikely but not impossible, both for the reasons plutogirllovekj suggests, and also, if I'm not mistaken, Arthur was never very hardy. It's possible that he was ignorant of what to do and/or unable. In either case neither of them -- certainly not the new husband -- would have wanted it publicized.
MrsNorris55 1 year ago
@MrsNorris55 I'm not convinced Arthur was ignorent in sex, his education was the best offered at the time and he would of been very aware of the attributes of the fairer sex, he would of had to have been as a future king of England.
FellowTownsman 11 months ago
@bengusandlex Tbh I dont think that it makes much difference whether Arthur and Catherines marriage was consummated. Henry would have found a way to get rid of her in the end. The thing that makes me laugh though is the fact that Henry used an argument from Levitucus as evidence that his marriage was sinful. However, there is also an argument (i think its in Exodus or Genesis, i cant remember atm) that said that it was the duty of a brother to marry his dead brothers wife! Ah the contadictions!!

The 3 Henri's children's reigns are the mirrors of their own mother. Edouard was a week and fragile king, who died young, (which proove the small intensity of love between Jane and the king, Marie'reign was terrible! the "bloody Marie" was full of hate and revange!....like her mother's prayers, and the "golden age" and peace during 45 years olds was during elizabeth's reign. For me, it means the great and absolute love henri and ann have lived.

Catherine of Aragon....the great and wonderful queen whith her great faith and piety! and of course....who was unable to have bad things in her conscious...So tell me, is it not strange that a person like that wasn't shocked when emperor's soldiers had ravage rome and had killed many many monks in a atrocity manners! No. She was happy of all that, cause she knew that the Pope, who was the emperor's prisonner, never consented a divorce in that situation. What a saint!

Even todaythe royals cannot marry a Catholic or become a Catholic, if they do they will forsakethe throne being King or queen of England. There was a move to change this in the past 2 years but it was swiftly sweeped away. Mary will always be known as a Catholic an for the 300 protestants who were executed, however this was after the Lady Jane Grey plot. It was also minimum compared to cetain

. Katherine was a fine queen being born into a great royal family and raised to be a great woman with a deeply rooted Catholic faith that she needed to get her through Henry's selfish behavior..I wonder why they didn't try to have her head fall into a basket. I don't think it was love. He surely knew her nephew would seek revenge.

ITA. Of all of Henry VIII's wives I admire her the most. He may have tried to 'strip' her of her true title-but in the end he did not succeed. Her tombstone says "Katherine of Aragon-Queen of England"-and there isn't a darn thing Old Henry can do about it.
faeryquene 2 years ago 6
Spain's wrath failed on England anyway at the Armada years later, and that was the cause of it all anyway, as the wrath passed on to the children.
However, having said that Katherine loved England and her people so good homage to her for that.
As for Henry he was weak in his marriage to her and should of shown a demonstration of how strong he was by refusing all other women and doing his duty by Katherine, sadly not to be, very much to his discredit.

She was widowed at 16, her father in law was cruel to her until she died and she only got to enjoy a few years of bliss with Henry before he started taking mistresses and stopped sleeping with her. Even with her last letter to him , she still spoke of her devotion and love for the King.

@juancar988 Él es un hipócrita, por lo que dices.

De todas formas una cosa es renegar de la Iglesia de Roma, y otra erigirse en cabeza de la Iglesia Anglicana para hacer y deshacer a su conveniencia...

Por supuesto que se vivia en una cultura muy precaria (la historia se estaba escribiendo) y aunque el medievo ya paso lo cierto es que aun quedaba mucho por hacer. De todos modos Enrique Vlll tuvo amantes tambien, no solo 6 esposas.
