Catherine of Aragon HN 3233.

The first of Henry VIII's six wives, Catherine of Aragon (1485-1536) was a Spanish princess who was married to Henry for 18 years before he began divorce proceedings in his desperation to re-marry and produce a male heir. Catherine had been pregnant six times but only one daughter, Princess Mary, later Mary I, had survived.
Dying in 1536, Katherine wrote to Henry: 'Lastly I make this vow, that mine eyes desire you above all things. Farewell.'
Catherine of Aragon was married to Henry VIII for 24 years but fell out of favour with the King when their union failed to produce a male heir. Their marriage was ended in 1533 and Catherine died alone and forgotten a year later.
