Romantic, chaotic and terrifying, Catherine Parr's life
unfolds like a romance novel. Married at seventeen to the
grandson of a confirmed lunatic and widowed at twenty,
Catherine chose a Yorkshire lord twice her age as her second
husband. Caught up in the turbulent terrors of the
Pilgrimage of Grace in 1536, she was captured by northern
rebels, held hostage and suffered violence at their hands.
Fleeing to the south shortly afterward, Catherine took
refuge in the household of Princess Mary and in the arms of
the king's brother-in-law, Sir Thomas Seymour. Her
employment in Mary's household brought her to the attention
of Mary's father, the unpredictable, often-wed Henry VIII.
Desperately in love with Seymour, Catherine was forced into
marriage with a king whose passion for her could not be
hidden and who was determined to make her his queen.

Industry Reviews
