Opis

Katherine Parr was, perhaps, one of Henry VIII's luckier queens. She survived him, and he remained fond of her until the end. Nevertheless, her tenure as the ageing monarch's wife was not easy, and, at one point, she was in serious danger of arrest and perhaps burning, for heresy. As the only one of Henry's wives who had had a life outside royal circles, her story is complex and fascinating. This Profile, from Tudor Times Insights, summarises her life and looks at various important aspects of her personality and tastes, including her religious writings and her relationship with her royal, and non-royal, step-children. The book includes a Family Tree, and a list of books, both non-fiction and fiction, that feature Katherine, with reviews of a selection.Tudor Times Insights are ebooks collating articles from our website www.tudortimes.co.uk which is a repository for a wide variety of information about the Tudor and Stewart period 1485 - 1603.
