Katharine of Aragon is more in the public consciousness now due to the TV show 'Spanish Princess'. Katharine has of course been an interesting historical figure for quite some time because she is the first wife of the infamous Henry VIII. This book provides a new perspective on Katharine because it includes far more background on her Spanish upbringing, Spanish culture, and how that continued to define her in England during her first fifteen years in the country. Additionally, Heather uses rich primary sources, such as 'The Receyt of Ladie Kateryne', which have either not been sourced or infrequently referred to in other biographies about Katharine. In this, Heather's multilingual abilities - especially her fluent Spanish - are put to good use. No one, for example, has considered he rippling impact of terminating Katharine's marriage on the Trastamara and Habsburg dynasties in Europe. Katherine was as important abroad as she was in England.
