Product Description
Henry the Eighth to six spouses was wedded: one died, one survived, two divorced, two beheaded.A" When the subject of Henry VIII's many marital adventures is discussed, Henry's wives are spoken of as one entity, with no existence outside their lives with Henry. In Dixie Atkins' four volume novel, 'A Golden Sorrow', she sets out to give the reader a comprehensive account of each Queen, from birth to death, based on meticulous research. Each wife tells her own story: Katherine of Aragon, the Spanish princess; Anne Boleyn, brought up at the French court; Jane Seymour, living in the shadow of her ambitious brothers; Anne of Cleves, who became Henry's 'honorary sister'; Katherine Howard, the promiscuous teenager; Katherine Parr, who sacrificed happiness to care for an ailing king. All paid dearly for wearing 'A Golden Sorrow'. 'HUMBLE AND LOYAL' Motto of Queen Katherine of Aragon. This is the testament of Katherine, Queen of England and Princess of Spain. Entrusted at her death to her friend, Maria de Salinas, Lady Willoughby. This is a true record of that Queen's life. Unhappily concluded at the manor of Kimbolton, in the year 1536. Here you shall read of a blameless lady, much wronged, who bore all with patience.
