Pepys' Diary: Catherine of Braganza (Queen) Catherine entered England with little funds, wide eyes and high hopes—if she offended anyone along the way, it was more a reflection of her upbringing, cultural differences, lack of finances and lack of experience than any wilful intentions to be stingy or to slight anyone. Catherine was most likely told how to behave by her mother and since she was ill and her nature was shy, she stayed in her quarters surrounded by her ladies. Catherine’s brother, Alfonso, was struck by a paralysis between the ages of 3 and 4. www.pepysdiary.com /p/2381.php   (606 words)
