Katharine of Aragon by Jean Plaidy

Katharine of Aragon by Jean Plaidy

For the first time in paperback--all three of Jean Plaidy's Katharine of Aragon novels in one volume.

Legendary historical novelist Jean Plaidy begins her tales of Henry VI's queens with the story of his first wife, the Spanish princess Katharine of Aragon.

As a teenager, Katharine leaves her beloved Spain, land of olive groves and soaring cathedrals, for the drab, rainy island of England. There she is married to the king's eldest son, Arthur, a sickly boy who dies six months after the wedding. Katharine is left a widow who was never truly a wife, lonely in a strange land, with a very bleak future. Her only hope of escape is to marry the king's second son, Prince Henry, now heir to the throne. Tall, athletic, handsome, a lover of poetry and music, Henry is all that Katharine could want in a husband. But their first son dies and, after many more pregnancies, only one child survives, a daughter. Disappointed by his lack of an heir, Henry's eye wanders, and he becomes enamored of another woman--a country nobleman's daughter named Anne Boleyn. When Henry begins searching for ways to put aside his loyal first wife, Katharine must fight to remain Queen of England and to keep the husband she once loved so dearly.

Eleanor Hibbert, also known as Victoria Holt and Philippa Carr, is a prolific English author who goes by the pen name Jean Plaidy. Her works have sold over 14 million copies around the world.
