Whether it be a speculative piece of fiction based on a place name, a tale inspired by vicious court rumour, or a story founded on fact, I love it all. Thus began the delicate shift of dissolving his marriage with Katherine so that he could turn to the young Anne Boleyn, a former lady of Queen Katherine and the new love interest of the King. She was defending her daughter Mary's right to royal lineage and her own conscience, which said that she was Henry VIII's lawful wife.While her life starts to unravel, Katherine still has the courage to fight for her marriage and her daughter, Mary’s right of succession.

So it seemed strange for Katherine, the daughter of Isabella of Aragon, to exist in a cloud of naivety and meekness. It follows her life from the marriage negotiations with Henry VII through till her death and smooths out all the unknowable and, perhaps, most interesting things about her life: so here we know exactly what happened (or didn't) on her wedding night with Prince Arthur, for example. Even in her dwindling years, Katherine found many who spoke in favour of her marriage and against Henry's conniving nature to blot out their marriage, a veritable act of treason to verbalise. Arthur: Prince of the Roses by bestselling historian Alison Weir is an e-short and companion piece to her stunning novel, Katherine of Aragon, the first in a spellbinding six-novel series about Henry VIII’s Queens.It's a bit hard to swallow at first, but I had to keep telling myself, history is written by the victors. con Caterina che si rifiuterà sempre di divorziare e rinunciare alla validità del loro matrimonio, riconoscendo il pieno potere la dispensa ricevuta al tempo da parte di Giulio II. We see the events of this well-known historical period through a single set of eyes, augmented by the opinions of those in her household who are loyal to her, those who fight for her rights against those of Anne Boleyn.
