(1485-1536) Katherine of Aragon was the first wife of Henry VIII and the mother of Mary Tudor, also known as "Bloody Mary".
Katherine and Henry were married for 24 years until Henry divorced her for Anne Boleyn; Henry's desire for an heir had led him to defy the Catholic church and would lead to the English Reformation.
However much prowess that Katherine showed as a ruler, however humanitarian that she was, however popular that she was among her people, it all came to nothing as her six pregnancies produced only one surviving child, a daughter, and her looks were ravaged by time, stress, and constant pregnancy.

"...For my part, I pardon thou everything, and I desire to devoutly pray God that He will pardon thou also. For the rest, I commend unto thou our doughtere Mary, beseeching thou to be a good father unto her... Lastly, I makest this vouge (vow), that mine eyes desire thou aboufe all things."
-from Katherine of Aragon's deathbed letter to Henry VIII
A petite, buxom redhead and the daughter of warrior monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, Katherine of Aragon would have ended very differently had her sons survived. The love of her people, her own determination, and the support of foreign allies could not stop Henry from banishing her. Even her daughter was prevented from seeing her.

Get the katherine mug.She’s beautiful but she’ll never see herself like the rest of the world does. To know who she really is you will have to take the time to prove to her you can be trusted. She’s kind-hearted and cares about people (sometimes too much) she sees through people’s anger and hate because she knows who they are on the inside. She’s smart, talented, and the most special girl you’ll ever meet. Most will think she’s too good to be true at first glance but once they see underneath they won’t want to let her go. She doesn’t do as everyone else does, she does what she does. She’s not quick to get angry, In fact she’s patient with the people she loves. She May be all of these things but she’s also a little spit fire at times. When she gets angry you can’t calm her down. She has a wild side that shouldn’t be tamed. Shes extremely competitive too. She’s everything anyone needs and more. The only sad thing about Katherine grace is that she’ll never see that. She’s too humble to do so.
