	Luminarium Encyclopedia: Catherine of Aragon.
		CATHERINE OF ARAGON (1485-1536), queen of Henry VIII of England, daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, was born on the 15th or 16th of December 1485.
		But Catherine with courage and dignity held fast to her rights, demanded a proper trial, and appealed not only to the bull of dispensation, the validity of which was said to be vitiated by certain irregularities, but to a brief granted for the alliance by Pope Julius II.
		Subsequently Catherine was removed to Bishops Hatfield, while Henry and Anne Boleyn visited Francis I. Their marriage, anticipating any sentence of the nullity of the union with Catherine, took place after their return about the 25th of January 1533, in consequence of Anne's pregnancy.

	Britannia: Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell

		Catherine was parted from her children the eldest of whom were sent to live with Catherine de la Pole, sister of the Earl of Suffolk, Owen was confined to Newgate and Catherine was sent to Bermondsey Abbey.
		What Catherine meant by 'in tender and favourable fulfilling of mine intentÉ' remains unclear, although it is generally believed to refer to her wishes regarding her young sons, which may have been revealed to the King at some point before her confinement in Bermondsey.

	About Catherine PARR (Queen of England)
		Catherine's success was rewarded with her brother William Parr being created Earl of Essex in Dec of the same year, and she herself was somewhat morbidly rewarded with the settlement of all the lands that were originally intended for Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard.
		Such was Henry's trust in Catherine that he chose her to rule as Regent while he was attending to the War in France and in the unlikely event of the loss of his life, she was to rule as Regent until six year old Edward came of age.
		Catherine was 36 and Seymour was confident that she was strong and would go on to bear him strong sons.

	Overlooking a Significant Bond:
		The education of the royal children under Queen Catherine was of the highest quality, and, for Elizabeth in particular, it was excellent.
		With Henry at war in France, Catherine reigning as Queen Regent of England, and Elizabeth away in exile at Ashridge, the setting was ideal for the queen to further strengthen her relationship with her stepdaughter and ultimately bring her back into the royal circle.
		Catherine received Elizabeth’s gift with great pleasure, and was “deeply touched that she had gone to such trouble” in translating the piece.

	Pepys' Diary: Queen Catherine’s Illness and Court Politics
		Meanwhile, Queen Catherine, and a good portion of Charles’ court, had spent the months of August through October visiting the waters at Tunbridge Wells and then those at Bath all in an attempt for the Queen to partake of these healing waters and hopefully become pregnant.
		Catherine, grateful for her husband’s attention and believing that she was dying, kept her regard for her husband in the forefront of her thoughts as she prepared to depart this world.
		Catherine, in spite of being so profound a devotee, replied to him that it was not so, but that it must rather be laid to the prayers of her husband.

	Queen Catherine of Baganza
		In this she signally failed, but the King remained true to her, in the formal sense of honouring her as his wife, despite her childlessness and throughout the time she was accused of sedition during the succession crisis and the Popish Plot of 1678 – 1681.
		Catherine had all the foregoing qualities, and she may have identified particularly with the Good Shepherd in her duties as leader of the Catholic faith in England.
		When Charles II died in 1685, Catherine, as Queen Dowager, had three years of openly practising her religion without fear while the Catholic James II was on the throne.

	Primary Sources - Letter of Queen Catherine Howard to Master Thomas Culpeper, spring 1541
		Catherine, for her part, argued otherwise; she told her interrogators that Culpeper ceaselessly begged for a meeting and she was too fearful to refuse.
		The affection she felt for Culpeper led to a legend surrounding Catherine's last words - 'I die a Queen, but would rather die the wife of Culpeper.' This final declaration of love did not occur; its invention was an attempt to give Catherine's pathetic and tragic story some mark of distinction.
		Catherine was not as well educated as Henry's other wives, though her mere ability to read and write was impressive enough for the time.

		One of the most (in)famous royal players of the time was Queen Catherine de Medici of France, the Italian-born consort of the exciting and effective Henry II and the power behind the throne for her three weak king sons.
		Catherine is widely seen as a talented, scheming and ruthless power-behind-the-throne figure, doing almost anything to promote and protect her children which included two Kings of France.
		Catherine followed the more traditional methods of the day to build, retain, and keep her power; Elizabeth, choosing to flout tradition, was forced into some of the same machinations Catherine used, even though she never married.

		Queens Historical Society researcher James Driscoll told the Tribune, “It’s logical to assume that [the counties] were named after King Charles and Queen Catherine, but it was never proven.”

		Dairy Queen will appeal to girls who, like D.J., aren't girly-girls but just girls, learning to be comfortable in their own skins.
		While Dairy Queen may appear to be about Wisconsin farm life, heartland football, and a maturing teenager, at its center the book is an exploration into communication and what happens when families and friends fail to go beyond surface talk.
		Dairy Queen is aimed for readers 12 and up, but the story will provide the most enjoyment for readers who are mature and willing to allow D.J. all the room she needs to grow.
