I am Catherine of Aragon. I came from
Spain where my father, Ferdinand is King.
Because Spain and England have not always
been that friendly towards each other,
it was decided that I should marry Prince
Arthur of England, as he would become
King one day, and Spain and England couldn't
fight if I was Queen. Unfortunately, Arthur
died not long after we were married, but
his younger brother Henry wanted to marry
me, and when he became King, I did become
Queen after all. We had one daughter,
who we called Mary and were married for
24 years. Henry had always wanted a son,
decided that I was not going to give him
a son and divorced me in 1533.
