- Catherine Parr (1512-1548) was the last of Henry VIII's Six wives, intelligent and devout, Catherine loved Thomas Seymour but Henry's proposal could not be refused. She and Henry VIII married at Hampton Court Palace in July 1543. He was 52, she was 31. After the King's death in 1547, Catherine was free to marry Seymour but she died 15 months later, aged 36, having given birth to their daughter. The sixth wife of Henry VIII, Catherine Parr allegedly brought care and comfort to the King and harmony to his court. She is recreated here in the Royal Doulton Collection "The Wives of Henry VIII". Her face is beautifully hand-painted and the colours of her costume are vibrant.
