Synopsis
""I am Catalina, Princess of Spain, daughter of the two greatest monarchs the world has ever known...and I will be Queen of England."" Thus, bestselling author Philippa Gregory introduces one of her most unforgettable heroines: Katherine of Aragon. Known to history as the Queen who was pushed off her throne by Anne Boleyn, here is a Katherine the world has forgotten: the enchanting princess that all England loved. First married to Henry VIII's older brother, Arthur, Katherine's passion turns their arranged marriage into a love match; but when Arthur dies, the merciless English court and her ambitious parents -- the crusading King and Queen of Spain -- have to find a new role for the widow. Ultimately, it is Katherine herself who takes control of her own life by telling the most audacious lie in English history, leading her to the very pinnacle of power in England. Set in the rich beauty of Moorish Spain and the glamour of the Tudor court, "The Constant Princess" presents a woman whose constancy helps her endure betrayal, poverty, and despair, until the inevitable moment when she steps into the role she has prepared for all her life: Henry VIII's Queen, Regent, and commander of the English army in their greatest victory against Scotland., From the "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Virgin's Lover," this enthralling new novel answers one of history's most intriguing questions: What lay behind Katherine of Aragon's enormous, history-changing lie?, From #1 New York Times bestselling author and "queen of royal fiction" ( USA TODAY ) Philippa Gregory comes the remarkable story of Katherine of Aragon, Princess of Spain, daughter of two great monarchs, and eventual Queen of England when she marries the infamous King Henry VIII. Daughter of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain, Katherine has been fated her whole life to marry Prince Arthur of England. When they meet and are married, the match becomes as passionate as it is politically expedient. The young lovers revel in each other's company and plan the England they will make together. But tragically, aged only fifteen, Arthur falls ill and extracts from his sixteen-year-old bride a deathbed promise to marry his brother, Henry; become Queen; and fulfill their dreams and her destiny. Widowed and alone in the avaricious world of the Tudor court, Katherine has to sidestep her father-in-law's desire for her and convince him, and an incredulous Europe, that her marriage to Arthur was never consummated, that there is no obstacle to marriage with Henry. For seven years, she endures the treachery of spies, the humiliation of poverty, and intense loneliness and despair while she waits for the inevitable moment when she will step into the role she has prepared for all her life. Then, like her warrior mother, Katherine must take to the battlefield and save England when its old enemies the Scots come over the border and there is no one to stand against them but the new Queen., Geomicrobiology provides an interdisciplinary review of recent developments in the origin of life, microbial-mineral interactions, and microbial processes functioning in marine and terrestrial environments. Topics include environmental proteomics and an analysis of microbes in complex, natural communities.

    Talk About a Miserable life!

    This is a poignant story with many relevant lessons. One, some things are not worth the trouble and the best thing in the world is to just walk away, no matter how glorious the supposed cause is. Katherine should have left England when she had the chance and she would have lived a better, happier life. Second, it shows how Katherine, due to her upbringing, was in fact far more mature and disciplined than Henry was, who was pampered and cosseted as Heir and not trained as well as he should have been.

    Fantastic Compelling Story

    Philippa Gregory has written a very compelling story about The Tudor Court. The style of writing is such that you can't put the book down. You just can't put the book down. You want to keep reading to find out what happens. I would recommend anything written Philippa Gregory.

    Well researched and entertaining.

    Not quiet as good as The Other Boleyn Girl or The King's Curse but it was entertaining enough for fans of historical fiction. There's not much out there about Katharine and this was well researched.
