I watched a little history video and it said that there was a good chance that Catherine did have sex with Henry's brother, her first husband. I thought that was interesting. The reason why it was kept hidden was because of political reasons. Makes you think huh?

@mmmmmvodka Women of that era were expected to produce children, perferably sons. If Henry VIII had a living son from Catherine, he wouldn't give a fig about her losing her virginity to his late brother. Just as he wouldn't give a fig to the people he had put to death if Anne had given him a son. And if Jane had failed, he would cook up some twisted reason to remove her. This is Henry's motto: Give me a son & I'll be your darling husband. Period.

@JuzTudor70AD Oh I know that. But I was saying that it makes you think the whole time he was trying to get a divorce from her. She was probably lying through her teeth. Goes to show that everybody involved was not truthful.

@mmmmmvodka I won't deny the possibility & that politics for a pro Anglo-Imperial alliance was the main influential factor (which ironically was also one of the factors that drove Henry to get rid of Anne later on). But since life expectancy was short, I doubt Henry not knowing the mechanics of sex. The fact he had a living child (which debunk his reference to Leviticus) proved that their marriage was not a sinful union as he so self-righteously proclaimed

@mmmmmvodka The only sin I see is his puritan mentality that women cannot rule and his paranoid fears abt Catherine seizing his throne. (The Lady Katherine is a proud, stubborn woman of high courage. If she took it into her head to take her daughter’s part, she could quite easily take the field, muster a great army, and wage against me a war as fierce as any her mother Isabella ever wages in Spain; Anna Whitelock;2009)

There's just one thing that confuzzles me in this video, I know the shows a bit inaccurate but, in the clip about Anne's paranoia, why on earth do the girlshave obviously fake and plastic boobs?

[JuzTudor70AD]

no idea... maybe, Anne felt that Henry no longer had any sexual attraction to her eversince she gave birth to Elizabeth... paranoia can do things to one's mind

@lat3908 That's just what I heard on a history program. HAHA! But it makes you wonder if politics was more influential than the rest.

[lat3908]

@mmmmmvodka I strongly believe that Katherine would never have lied about such a thing. She was an incredibly religious and truthful woman, yes she was proud and definitely desired to be Queen, but she was not a liar. She struggled for years after Arthur died to remain in England and get married to Henry, if she was lying there was no way she would be able to go through with the marriage. Katherine was not Anne

I forgot how sad Anne of Cleves was when he did that to her. I felt so bad!

@TheVampireLover1901 Yes, it is the music. I was thinking that myself.

I love how Catherine and Mary bond. I hate how Henry forced them apart after the divorce.
