Catherine of Aragon

by Sofia Alcocer

“In this world I will confess myself to be the king’s true

wife, and in the next day will know how unreasonably I am

afflicted.”

-Catherine of Aragon

“My tribulations are so great, my life so disturbed by the plans daily invented to further the king’s wicked intention, the surprises which the king gives me, with certain persons of his council, are so mortal, and my treatment is what God knows, that it is enough to shorten ten lives, much more mine.”

-Catherine of Aragon

Catherine was very popular among her English subjects.
