One of the most notable women in English history, Katherine Parr was married more times than any other English queen, and was the first woman to become queen of England and Ireland.

As we prepare to celebrate the life of the Tudor queen, 469 years after her death, read on to find out more about Henry VIII sixth and final wife.

Katherine Parr’s mother, Maud Green, was a lady in waiting to Henry VIII’s first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Many believe Maud named her daughter after the reigning queen at the time – unbeknown to her, her daughter would one day go onto marry Henry herself.

2. An accomplished author

Katherine was an accomplished scholar and wrote three books during the course of her lifetime: Prayers or Meditation, The Lamentation of a Sinner, and Psalms or Prayers. She was the first queen to have her work published – rare copies of these are on display in the dedicated exhibition here at the castle.

With four marriages to her name – the first at just 17 – Katherine was no stranger to romance. However, while she married Henry VIII in 1543 many believe Jan

Queen Katherine Parr

June 9, 2021

I found this biography of Katherine Parr, 6th and final wife of Henry VIII, at a library sale and have lately been on a spree of reading about Henry's final four wives. Through the process I have found that one of the problems that plagues biographers of the final four wives is how to deal with the scarcity of material, something that different biographers handle to varying degrees of success. This was a problem that was openly confronted by this biographer and in the end I would say he did not do the best job of navigating this problem but also it was not the worst I had read. At times I felt Katharine got lost in her own biography and he also included a lot of letters written in Old English that were rather tedious and not terribly illuminating. He was more successful when he explored the philosophies of Humanism and how they influenced Katharine as well as when he explored how women in the Tudor Era ushered in the age of new learning and how that influenced not only Katharine's life but the course of a nation.

The author developed a theme well

Catherine Parr

Catherine Parr (alternatively Katherine or Kateryn) (26 August 1512 – 5 September 1548) was Queen of England and of Ireland (1543–47). She was the last of the six wives of King Henry VIII. She married him on 12 July 1543, and outlived him by one year. She was also the most-married English queen, with four husbands. She was also the first woman to be queen of both England and Ireland.

Catherine had a close relationship with Henry's three children. She personally helped teach school for Elizabeth and Edward, both of whom became English monarchs. She helped get the Third Succession Act in 1543 passed. This placed Mary I and Elizabeth I, back into the line of succession to the English throne.^[1]

Henry died on 28 January 1547. Six months after Henry's death, she married her fourth and final husband, Thomas Seymour, 1st Baron Seymour of Sudeley.

Catherine gave birth to her only child — a daughter, Mary Seymour. She was named after Catherine's stepdaughter Mary – on 30 August 1548. She died only six days later, on 5 September 1548, at Sudeley Castle
