Catherine Parr
Wife, widow, mother, survivor, the story of the last queen of Henry VIII
(Autor) Elizabeth Norton"The sixth wife of Henry VIII was also the most married queen of England, outliving three husbands before finally marrying for love. Catherine Parr was enjoying her freedom after her first two arranged marriages when she caught the attention of the elderly Henry VIII. She was the most reluctant of all Henry?s wives, offering to become his mistress rather than submit herself to the dangers of becoming Henry?s queen. This only served to increase Henry?s enthusiasm for the young widow and Catherine was forced to abandon her lover for the decrepit king" --Cover, p. 2.
