Queen Catherine of Aragon

- Catherine of Aragon was the first of Henry VIII’s 6 wives. She was a true companion and inspiration to the young king. She even rode into battle and won while heavily pregnant. But when she failed to give Henry a male heir he tried to set aside his strong-willed wife. And the results were the most dramatic and significant divorce in history.

She was the Princess Diana of that time. Perfect to be a Queen of her country and people, but wasn't lucky in love.
At least she wasn’t murdered
@@hannahstahl1857 true. Diana's death was no accident 😔
Please, people, just stop. Nobody murdered her. She died in a car accident. I’d be willing to bet that you at least know somebody that died in a car accident. And they were no divorced princess, I’m sure.
@@mangot589 no actually I don't know anyone who died in a car accident. And nobody actually knows if it was accident or plotted murder.
Seems like a wizard is interested on muggle history. Hello, Percy!
Catherine was so underrated. She literally won a battle WITHOUT Henry, and just because she didn't give birth to a living son (She actually bore a son but he died, he wasn't healthy), so HENRY didn't even have validation she couldn't birth sons. SHE COULD, they just didn't live to see it, because they died soon after. He didn't even help her see Mary on her deathbed, that's just savage, and Henry is terrible for that. King Henry literally insulted and violated Mary's freedom and her gender by saying "Oh, my wife was childless because I married her when she was my brother's widow" when he had a perfectly healthy daughter and forced her to sign the annulment papers. What a messed up, arcanely torturous man. I'd say that Queen Catherine was one of the best, if not THE best, of Henry's wives.
Definitely the best wife imo
But she did give birth to a living son he just died 54 days after Henry the 9th
I'll say what Henry is he's asshole, he isn't grateful for his wife efforts and he had so much of a fragile musicality his ego was a mess, and btw she's my ancestor can't explain how but she is.
It’s actually Henry’s fault he didn’t get a son because it’s the Male’s sperm who determines the gender of the baby.
I always ask my history teacher this for some reason coz I still laugh at this to this day. Bruh moment
@@kkandsims4612 yes he woulda became King Henry IX if he didn’t die in infancy or childhood
Henry was a terrible person and he definitely didn’t deserve any of his wives, especially Catherine. I feel so bad for her and her daughter Mary..
I don't think Henry ever truly loved Katherine of Aragon. I think he was infatuated with her but did not love her.
He only loved himself
@@ezgidogan3827 exactly
@@ezgidogan3827 Henry put his Dynasty over everything else. Because if he had die without " proper heir " than it would be his fault for As why the Dynasty ended. And if he had accepted Mary or Elizabeth as his heir England would become A Satellite State. I do not conduct Henry's actions.
@@savagedarksider5934 Do you think he actually loved any of his wives? Or any woman in general?
Catherine was a strong women and I believe she deserved better
All his wives deserved better
Well said 😔
Jessica Morton honestly all of them deserved so much better, it sucks that their lives ended so terribly :/
@@animelover7846 yeah they all deserved a better life
@@animelover7846 I agree with you, although it is fair to point out that Anne of Cleves and Katherine Parr were by far the luckiest of the six wives. Anne was cast aside when Henry became infatuated with Catherine Howard (one of her ladies in waiting and a relative of the late Anne Boleyn); while Katherine managed to outlive her ailing husband. Lucky escape I dare say 😉.
@@animelover7846 as much as I love all six of the queens(especially Anne Boleyn) I kinda wish Henry stayed with Catherine, I wish that there sons could have lived, I feel like that would be a better ending to all of this
Catalina de Aragón was a brave and strong woman. She was wise as she was educated to be a Queen, she even went to battle full armoured and won the war. She deserved a better husband.
Very true
if only arthur lived :(
@@itsquishhy113 inni 😞
I don't understand how anyone that knows Catherine's story can call Anne iconic. Catherine was the queen of people's hearts.
exactly, Catherine was the true queen, Anne can't even come close
I still love Anne but she is nothing compared to Catherine of Aragon!! 💅
Neither of Henry’s “healthy” sons lived past their teen years. Also The battle Katherine fought against Scotland likely caused her premature labor in that pregnancy. Henry’s parents were third cousins and Katherine’s parents were first cousins, so the inbreeding probably didn’t help. Henry himself was descended from three of Edward III’s sons and all six of his wives were descended from Henry III.
Also there's a popular theory that Henry has STD or smth
Katherine's parents were SECOND cousins. ALL of Henry VIII's wives were descended from Edward I (Henry III's son); in fact 3 of his wives (Katherine of Aragon, Jane Seymour and Katherine Parr) were more closely related, they were descended from King Edward III (the two Katherine's via Prince John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster.)
Anne of Cleves was descended from Beatrice of England, Edward I’s sister. The rest were directly descended from Edward I. Since Henry III was the father of both Edward and Beatrice, all six of Henry Wives were descended from him, which is why I used him as the direct ancestor when I said all.
Descended from 3 sons wow I thought that it was just 2. So Henry the Eighth’s father was Henry the 7th and he was descended from John of Gaunt who was 1 of Edward 3rds sons and his mother Elizabeth of York was descended from Edmund of Langley who was another of Edward 3rd sons. That’s two sons of Edward 3rd. So who was the 3rd son of Edward the 3rd sons was Henry the eighth descended from?
@@josabby474 No Anne of Cleves was also descended DIRECTLY from Edward I via his daughter Margaret
Catherine was beautiful, intelligent, highly educated, brave, loyal and humble. She was groomed to be Queen from infancy. She was a wonderful wife, Mother and Queen. She rode into battle while pregnant to protect her adopted country. She faced Henry's wrath until her death for the sake of her faith and her daughter's legitimacy. I love her and she is my favorite of all Henry's wives. She is still loved to this day, and people still bring little gifts to her grave. What better epitaph than that?
Many people knowing the full story about Catherine of Aragon and of course her Spanish family and a bit about her in laws the English. We could also remember that her daughter Mary or as her enemies know her bloody Mary, the Catholic citizen and she herself are victims of circumstance.
I read that Catherine was the only wife Henry ever truly feared.
From the book, Catherine of Aragon by Garrett Mattingly.
Actually both of his surviving sons had poor health and died young, so it’s very plausible to believe Henry was at fault for not producing a male heir.
Men determine the sex of a baby so even if they both did survive it was always Henry who was to blame for not having a boy.
@@shannonflaherty353 yes that is true that men do determine the sex of the baby.
You are quite correct! It's actually the man that determines the sex of the baby.
It's more than plausible, it's completely probable. But they did not know any of this back then and were extremely superstitious. Also he was surround by yes men all the time who would've told him what he wanted to hear even if they knew he was at fault.
@@tarakennedy707 well yes I agree but they were not just yes men they were men trying to stay alive with a chronically ill tyrant of a king who was known for killing his own kin (wives)
Although I love Elizabeth I and the Church of England, Catherine of Aragon was always Henry's true wife and what he did doomed himself and his children's' legacies!
agreed
I find it interesting that biblically, a man marries his brothers widow. So Catherine had grounds to marry Catharine. And he wanted her at the time.
Henry was a horrible husband to his wives-even Anne. Anne was not a saint. Be he betrayed her once he had her as his and his alone. She payed a heavy price for marrying him. Shame on her father for pimping her and her sister out
The Pope: Henry, you cant just divorce your wi-
Henry: **change team**
*Change places*
Henry: *changes the rules of the game*
Actually he made his own team 😂😂😂😂
The pope said nope
@@ezelfrancisco1349 Our only hope was Henry
Poor Catherine..She really was treated terribly (as was Mary) by Henry and Anne. It's easy to forget how many people suffered so Henry&Anne could be together, including Catherine. Yet, She endured. She was an amazing Woman and a true Queen. R I P Catherine
Yes me and my mother suffered badly, I’m glad this video was made to share more information about her life!
I love her and Mary so much
@@katestevens4606 Thank you ❤️
Henry was an absolute tyrant with an empty heart,I can't believe that some people acknowledge him as a great king smh 🤦♀️
@@maryiqueenofengland7438 You and Catherine(your mother)deserved better
She really was a paragon of everything. I always get amazed about her victory against Scotland while fully pregnant.
and nobody talk about it
@@camijaque2291 No they just talk about how Henry divorced her just not give him a son.
@@lunaguy1195 exactly 🙄🙄
Her name was Catherine of Aragon
Was married 24 years she's a paragon
Of Royalty. Her loyalty was to the Vatican
So if you try to dump her, you won't try that again.
Was she far into the pregnancy when she did that?
Thank you for this very lovely portrayal of Catherine of Aragon. A couple of notes:
The first portrait you show of young Catherine is disputed; it is more likely one of Catherine's older sisters.
Catherine did command the Battle of Flodden but did not actually ride into battle.
Young Arthur's boast is not contemporary with Arthur. It was entered as testimony during the Annulment, more than 2 decades later, from biased and pressured witnesses and is therefore to be taken with a grain of salt.
One of the main reasons that the death of Isabel was a disaster for Catherine is that Fernando's power was more than halved: he was king consort in Castile, and Isabel's death meant he lost all legal authority in Castile to Juana and Philip the Handsome. Fernando battled and schemed his way back to power, but this was not a foregone conclusion, and with Fernando king only of Aragon and parts of Italy, Catherine's stock as a bride was also much reduced.
The portrait you show at the point of Henry preparing to propose to Catherine is actually of Juana.
The pomegranate is also the symbol of Granada (which translates into "pomegranate") and therefore was of additional significance to Catherine.
The wearing of yellow remains ambiguous; in Spain executioners did, at times, wear yellow, but it's worth noting that, in Spain, when someone of importance died, the colors of mourning most often referenced are white and black.
Thank you again for this sympathetic and thoughtful portrait of Catherine.
Thanks :)
Thank you so much for your clarifications. Although Isabel of Castile *did* lead her troops in battle, her daughter Catherine did not. Even Elizabeth I confined herself to a stirring speech in 1588 and left actual battle leadership to her generals & admirals. Catherine was still one resilient & intelligent queen, regardless of her abstention from battlefields.
It’s so sad that Catherine punished herself for Henry treating her the way he did. She deserved so much better then to punish herself for the kings behavior.
Yes, that breaks me heart, I just want to hug her 😩😭😭
You could do videos about:
Isabella II os Spain
Mary of Burgundy
Bona Sforza
Mary Queen of Scots
Anne Queen of Great Britain
Anna I of Poland
Maria I of Portugal
Isabeau of Bavaria
I think Bonna Sforza would be quite interesting, i don’t really like her tho but i would love a video
Caterine Sforza or Lucrezia Borgia.
You could do a video on Lucrezia Borgia. She was married to many men by her father, Pope Alexander the Sixth. She is also rumored to have been in a incestuous relationship with her brother, Cesare. She's said to have poisoned people.
What about Tamar of Georgia? I heard she was a badass Queen.
The health condition Henry likely had doesn't mean you can't have boys, it just makes it much less likely and the boys that do result from the marriage are more likely to have health issues. Like Henry that died in infancy and Edward that died at 15. Anne also had a stillborn boy. Elizabeth and Mary were relatively healthy though, except for Mary's menstrual issues.
OMG I love Catherine of Aragon! She was just too good for Henry! 💖
So true!
I agree, she really was too good for him.
Half this series is just gonna be Henry's exes
It only included Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn tho
Also i think Henry’s 6 wives should form a band and just diss Henry the whole time

Being from Catalonia, Spain ( a former historic region of Aragon) I have never been more proud to have a figure like her represent us.
Finally, Catalina (Catherine) was my favorite queen out of all of the queens!
mine too
this lady has taught me more history than 2 years of history class
Catherines life was kind of a tragedy. Atleast her only child got to be Queen. Thx for the vid ^^
Yes I did. I tried my best for her.
@@maryiqueenofengland7438 that's sad that you had a short life and that people only knew about the burning of 300 people. I know you had plans that will benefit England

Yea
Despite every horrible thing Henry did to Catherine, she still really loved him. I think of all his 6 wives, Catherine of Aragon was the one who loved him the most.
@@theelitemanticore151 You are correct in my opinion. That is why she didn't retaliate.

Imagine how European history would have been changed if little Henry had survived. It’s fun to wonder
We wouldn’t have Elizabeth
@@SomePerson_Online England may even have been taken over by Spain or the other way around
@@SomePerson_Online Well given that Catherine died around the same time she ended up being born it's not impossible that Henry would have still married Ann since he would still need a Queen and Wife.
@Mike signs True
If Arthur had survived, maybe he would have tons of children with Katherine.
if henry wasnt so set on having a male heir who knows what marys reign would have been like
My sister in Law was a great wife,strong women love her ❤️

its nice to actually see people talk about the other Tudor queens besides Anne Boleyn for a change
Ikr? I've personally always been more interested in Katherine. I'm rly interested in Mary i and Anne of Cleves too
It gets annoying after a time that people don't talk about the other queens expect for Anne
@@KG-ds2fj exactly
Anne is my least favorite. I consider her terrible for taking another woman's husband and then had the nerve to be jealous that Catherine's death was so honorable. Anne didn't have any royalty in her. Catherine had more in ther little pinky than Anne ever had which was none!
@@kayabernethy830i actually do not like anne that much but i think she still deserve better. what beyond me is how people throw hate at jane seymour for marrying henry and being a mistress but go and praise anne.
anne and jane became mistresses, that's the fact. also both of them was left with no choice. they were not royals, nor had the power to turn henry, the king down. it's unfortunate really.
also henry do not deserve a woman like catherine of aragon. she's everything any man want and yet he treated her terribly.

Castile is pronounced as “ Casteel “ there’s no “ lay “ at the end of the sound.
yes, and in spanish it's Castilla (cas-TEE-ya), so it's not the spanish pronunciation, either
@@delphinidin Really? Never heard Spanish people pronounce it that way!! I’ve heard them pronounce it as, “ Ca-steel “
@@jnicholas-windsoramyisrael46Spanish speaker here - I can second the "cas-tee-ya" pronunciation in Spanish because their name would be spelled Castilla. Castile is the anglicized version so it's "cas-teel" in English. Castile/Castilla is Spanish for castle.
@@HikariHolic Okay. Like I said before, I’ve never heard any Spanish pronounce it like that even historians when talking about Catherine of Aragon.
@@jnicholas-windsoramyisrael46 There are different pronunciations and dialects for different Spanish speaking countries and most historians use anglicized versions when referring to historical figures but in Spanish she would Catalina de Aragon and her mom would be Isabel I de Castilla (cas-tee-ya). Keeping it friendly and just saying although you personally haven't heard someone pronounce it that way doesn't mean that this pronunciation is invalid. The double "ll" sound in Spanish is pronounced with a "ya" sound or "sha" if you're in Argentina.
She was such a baddie. I hate how everyone gives anne boleyn more praise & attention. Catherine didn't deserve all the pain she went through and it's sad no one gives her any credit
I agree,people need to recognize the other wives too
The only wives I don’t like are Jane and Parr (because of how she participated in Elizabeth being molested and sent her away like she was the problem)
I hate Anne boelyn too
Catherine of Aragon is one of my favorites!
That's because Anne had the "last laugh".
I would love to see a video on Elizabeth Woodville, all the story on how she got to be queen 👑
Yess the White Queen& her daughter Elizabeth of York the White Princess❤️👑
All Henry's wives deserved better, including Catherine. She was so amazing and unique
he was a monster-lucy to get away with her head intact
It really makes you wonder how many of her children could’ve been saved if she had access to modern medicine
I think Prince Henry definitely could have been saved. The 1513 baby and tbe 1518 baby (named Katherine) too
If they had modern medicine she may have not had to marry Henry at all
I always love your vids thank you for your hard work😁
It has a bit of inacurracy its uncertain if she had on full on armour also if she was pregnant it is very unlikley that she rode full on armour . She probably led it though.
@@jahirareyes1102 thank you 🙏
@@thewhethergirl9585 Your welcome just had to point out a small innacuracy there , well someone had to point it out .
She was so perfect. If she was a descendent to the british throne, she could be the best queen of England, more successful and popular than Elizabeth l.
She was a descendant of King Henry IV of England's two sisters Philippa and Catherine.
@@randerson2525 yes! but sadly she was never supposed to be crowned ☹
She was descended from Edward III, but her claim to the English throne would have been very weak, considering that Catherine was 150-ish years removed from Edward III’s immediate family and that she was a woman, and a woman in power was a difficult thing for people to accept at the time.
@@ajmaltaujoo4277 Difficult for the British, yes. Isabel I was the sole ruler of Castile in her own right. Female rulers were not so unheard of, or as shocking, in parts of Spain as they were in England.
agreed!!
Thank you Lindsay!💕 I was waiting for this video💕
The series, "The Spanish Princess" finally brings her story to the general public and all the injustices she endured. But for serious minded historians much of the series is historically inaccurate. Catherine never rode into battle.
Honestly if people at the time believed she did… SHE DID. Truth means nothing if people believed otherwise. History is full of "lies" of this kind
I think Catherine of Aragon is one of my favorite wives (I’m not like those people who completely favor their favorite and leave their non-favorites out of their whole lives). She would have been granted a wonderful and better life than what was given to her if only Prince Arthur had lived.
The Pommergrande is the symbol of the Catholic Monarchs because the city of "Granada" (so important for the Catholic Monarchs) literally means "Pommergrenade" in Spanish.
Anne of Cleves got off lucky
She made out like a bandit in that situation
So did Katherine Parr. She survived.
It is me Anne of cleves
@@terrybardy2848but sadly died after giving birth in just a year later. Overall, Anne still takes the cake of being the lucky one.
Isn’t Castile pronounced “Cas-Teel” not “Cas-tee-ley”? Still love the video though :)
You're right
One is the English pronunciation the other Spanish.
@@williethomas5116 No, in Spanish it's Castilla, not Cas-teel-ey. In English the correct pronunciation is Cas-teel.

One of your best videos! Also, I loved your selection of background music too. Great job 🤗👍🏾
Catherine of Aragon was the most beautiful, most intelligent and bravest of Henry VIII's queens. She could well have easily accepted Henry's offers, retired to houses, wealth, etc.and anonymity and quietly stepped out of the picture. Instead she openly fought and defied Henry, stayed true to herself and her religion and refused to stay silent. She also would not compromise her daughter's future. It's a great shame that despite her strong connections to other powerful European leaders they ultimately turned their backs on her. She strikes me as an incredibly strong woman of great moral character. Anne Boleyn on the other hand was a selfish, calculating, shrewish golddigger whose ambitions ultimately backfired on her. Rest in Peace, Catherine O woman of incredible virtue and strength!
She was not beautiful or attractive-barely any Spanish females are attractive.
@@savagedarksider5934 Which Spanish lady broke your heart? As a Slavic woman I find Latins attractive, especially their language and culture. Even the language (English) has some Latin influences.
Could you please do a video about Margret Beaufort mother of King Henry the VII. She had such a sad life but was a very strong woman 👑
Another great video. I would make but one recommendation: either use the English pronunciation on Castile (KAH-stil), or the Spanish Castilla (kahs-TEE-jah). Looking forward to more content.
Very sad to see how back then (and still now) woman were only liked and respected when they were useful to produce offsprings and disposed off when they can not anymore. Catherine had to publically declare that she had not consummated her marriage with prince Arthur in order to keep her position while Henry was courting every woman in England and no one blinked an eye. Henry would not allow Catherine to ever see her daughter, humiliated her by invalidating their marriage and child and banished her from court just because she was infertile.
Such an inspiration, I really like her story and the video. She deserved much more like so many other women in history. Kisses from Brazil❤❤
Yes!!!!!! One of my favorite women in history I love her I’m so excited thank you you made my day!!!!!

You did such a great job on this! Thank you for being one of my all time favorite youtubers. I show you to both my friends and my high school students. 💜
Complete change of subject, but would you ever consider doing a deep dive into Prince Eddy (Albert Victor) or other royals who were supposed to rule but died before they could be crowned? I love imagining alternate timelines like that, and it’s fascinating.
Does she not read the comments? So many comments on the last video tried to gently notify her of her butchering the pronunciation of Castile.
Knowing this makes the wrong pronunciation ten times worse tbh
She's informative and intelligent but she over enunciates which leads to mispronunciation
I’ve heard it’s likely that Mary had endometriosis which caused her chronic pelvic pain and horrible periods. If that’s the case, it’s highly likely that Catherine had it too which could definitely explain the miscarriages and infertility.
Yes she had,and other health problems(Mary)
It is unlikely, because her mother Isabella of Castile was very fertile and didnt suffer from Endometriosis. It is also unrecorded if she had period-pain. Mary however was recorded to suffer such pain, maybe comming through X chromosome inherited from Henry VIII
@@Alejojojo6 Surprisingly, there’s no correlation between severity of disease and fertility status. My grandma, my mother and I all have endometriosis; my grandma had no fertility issues whatsoever, my mother had a couple miscarriages and four complete pregnancies and I am completely infertile (post hysterectomy status after five miscarriages).
@@robynballew5792 Endometriosis is linked with fertility problems. That is a fact (i work in the medical field) that said, it doesnt mean that you cant have children. You can have but usually is more difficult and ectopic pregnancies (and miscarriages) are more likely as well
@@Alejojojo6 bruh I work in healthcare as well as live with endometriosis, I definitely don’t need it mansplained 🤣🤣 reread what I said: there’s no correlation between SEVERITY OF DISEASE (endometriosis) and fertility status. As in, you can have advanced stage four lesions and not have an issue with fertility, or you could have minor stage one lesions and be totally infertile. It comes down to how your body responds to the inflammation that endometriosis creates. Again, just because Catherine didn’t have obvious major fertility struggles does not preclude a diagnosis of endometriosis.

I've read an article once thean sad thean: a genetic condition Carried by Hennry, caused the body of his wifes to see the fetus as a parassite After the 1st pregnasy, and attacking It, if the baby didn't die before he/She was Born, and even if It was Born alive it's unlikely thean It coud Survive very long. This coud also explain why Mary I use to be pretty sick, even if She was lucky and Survived her First years.
Yes , I’ve read similar theories . I think it works like the Rh negative syndrome .
I also read an article that said that Anne Boleyn had the same genetic condition.
The rh factor explains all of it. If he had a negative blood type and his wives had positive, no babies would have survived unless they had the mothers blood type.
Henry may have had a problem with the Kell blood group antigen , resulting in having McCleod syndrome.
@Mohammad Abdullaha I’m not familiar with Lindsey publication

Since I’m a Spanish speaker I just can’t get over Lindsay’s pronunciation of Castile/Castilla.

0:31 that’s Juana of Castile (juana the mad)
That in fact is Catalina. However, there's another portrait of Juana and they do resemble eachother greatly
@@napoleonbonaparte7529 We actually aren't sure which of the daughters the portrait is; I would venture to say, based on the straight nose and the serious expression that it is more likely to be Juana than Catherine (who seems to have a charming little tilt at the end of her nose). Even more likely, to me, based on portraits of Juana done in Flanders, this portrait may be young Isabel or Maria. If either of them, perhaps more likely to be Isabel jr. No matter who it is, it's a portrait with a lot of character: it seems very lifelike and the sitter not happy about the situation.
@@melenatorr That tilt in her nose is so cute 😂😍
@@katestevens4606 It really is!
I've heard of a story of when Catherine was about to leave Spain to go to England, she stopped at Santiago de Compostela. During the Mass, the Botafumeiro broke off its chain and crashed through the rose window.
She was a great queen & the greatest of his wives.
Sadly the mistreatment of her followed to her daughter( through Henry VII & Edward VI) & SHE wasn't allowed to marry in time for her to have children.
Mary wasn't attractive. Good riddance.
Catherine of Aragon is my second favorite wife of Henry VIII, the first is Anne of Cleves
I think Anne of CLeves is my second favorite after Catherine of Aragon.

@@ianbat7092 kneels Your the true queen your majesty
Jane can we be friends?
@@catherineofaragonqueencons4505 of course we can!! 💗 I'm sorry i thought i already replied to you hun. 💗
@@TheRealJaneSeymour thank you I almost started crying
*if all of the king's had queens on the throne we were pop champagne and raise a toast*
That went on my mind lol
*To all of the queens who are fighting alone*
Baby your not dancing on your own🤩🤩
Catherine of Aragon was definitely a wonderful queen both because of her noble status and her competences as king deputy. What happened to her is pure tragedy and unjust.
Great video!! 😍😍😍 I love Catherine so much, she's my all time favorite historical figure 💕💓
Oh my thank you for the video! Loved it so much!
Henry VIII: The Bible says it's a sin to marry your brother's widow!
Catherine of Aragon: You mean the same Bible that says it's a sin to commit adultery?
Henry VIII: *anachronistic Pikachu face*
Amazing video, as always!
Are you planning or have thought of doing a video on Swedish royal history?
That's sad when your fiancé breaks up with you and you're only 4 years old!
She was the queen who taught Henry VIII how to be a king. She was the perfect queen whose only fault was being unable to give her husband a son.
@@KG-ds2fj actually he did have boys just not legitimate ones
"my name's Catherine of Aragon, was married 24 years - I'm a paragon of royalty.." 😌💞
Please do a video about King William IV or Queen Mary II, those two really need more acknowledgment.
I agree
Poor Arthur such a shame thanks for video keeping me going through all this madness xxx
Love you Lindsay! :D
Shouldn’t the title of this be Catherine of Aragon, Queen of England? She wasn’t Queen of Aragon...
well her name was Catherine of Aragon, maybe Catherine of Trastamara idk
@@mariaminghi4297 AND Castile she was double infanta
The Aragon was mentioned because it was her birthplace,she was the queen of england and born in Aragon so that's why she is called as Catherine of Aragon
@@bow35yearsago65 do not forget Castile she was also infanta of that kingdom
@@RaulGonzalez-xt1kx yeah,you are right

Me, a Spaniard: _Wait! What? Yellow is the mourning colour? What? No way!_
I think you are mistaken, black is the mourning colour, yellow gives bad luck.
So maybe that means that Anne and Henry weren't actually mourning Catherine like how people say
Yeah even back then it wasn’t the color of mourning
I was just researching about her! And then this comes out, how awesome!
Finally i have been waiting for this video on my favorite queen
Same 🤩
YESSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!
One thing I've always wondered about, is if Catherine was so well educated, and learned to speak several languages, did she not learn to speak English while she was growing up. She was betrothed at 3 years old to the future king of England, and her parents knew she would spend her life in an English speaking country, yet they never had her tutored in English.
In my opinion, England at that time wasn’t as powerful as France, Spain and Portugal. Importantly, it was Henry VII who had to rely on Spain’s power and dowry rather than Spain on England. We must keep in mind that the House of Tudors in the past wasn’t accepted by most European countries while the Trastámara, Catherine’s dynasty, was regarded as the most prestigious one in Europe. So, there wasn’t necessary much for her to learn that language.
Will you be doing this to all the 6 queens? because I'm looking forward for Anne of Cleves
I love the videos about women in royal history. There’s so much that American schooling doesn’t teach us about history, and women’s history is one of those topics sadly
