CATHERINE OF ARAGON (PB)

When Henry VIII married Catherine of Aragon, she was an auburn-haired beauty in her twenties with a passion she had inherited from her parents, Isabella and Ferdinand, the joint-rulers of Spain who had driven the Moors from their country. Catherine was a tenacious woman whose marriage lasted twice as long as those of Henry's five other wives put together. This biography draws on fresh material from Spain to trace the dramatic events of her life through Catherine of Aragon's own eyes.
