Singled Out: Potential Wives of Henry VIII

July 22, 2016 by Rebecca Larson 2 Comments

It is well-known that Henry VIII loved women. Especially ones that could potentially give him a male heir. After the execution of wife number five, Katheryn Howard, Henry was once again on the hunt for a new wife. As King of England he would surely have been a great catch to any woman. He was all-powerful as King of England, Ireland and France, as well as being the head of the Church of England. Becoming his wife would mean you nearly had the world at your disposal. The [More]

Anne Parr: Witness to History

November 26, 2015 by Rebecca Larson 8 Comments

Lady Anne Parr was sister to Kateryn Parr -- sixth wife of Henry VIII. Anne Parr is unique because she was either a Maid-of-Honor, or Lady-in-Waiting to all the wives of Henry VIII, all six. A Maid-of-Honor was generally a young girl in her teens, just starting out at court. In order to hold the position one had to be part of a noble family. Physical beauty was also requirement, so we must assume Anne was considered attractive. A Maid-of-Honor also had to impress courtiers [More]

Katherine Parr: Ghost At Sudeley Castle

October 13, 2015 by Rebecca Larson 7 Comments

The story of Katherine Parr is quite tragic indeed -- she married an old and ailing King Henry VIII when she would have preferred to marry her love, Thomas Seymour. When Henry died in 1547, she secretly married Thomas. By the end of 1547 the couple were already with child. Imagine their surprise when it was believed she would not have children. Katherine gave birth to their daughter Mary and shortly thereafter and died of puerperal fever. It seems as though Katherine Parr [More]
