The Tudors (Part 4): The First Three Wives of Henry VIII (with Anna Morris) | The Tudors: A Real Game of Thrones
⛵ Catherine of Aragon arrived in England in 1501, coming from Spain to marry Prince Arthur, the eldest son of King Henry VII.
💍 Catherine and Arthur were married on 14 November 1501, in a grand ceremony at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London.
💔 There is historical debate about whether Catherine and Arthur’s marriage was consummated. Catherine herself claimed that it was not, which would later become a significant issue in her subsequent marriage to Arthur's brother, Henry VIII.
🪦 Arthur died in April 1502, just a few months after their marriage, leaving Catherine a widow at 16.
👑 After Arthur's death, Catherine's marriage to Henry VIII was arranged, and she eventually became Henry's queen, leading to the famous conflict over their marriage and the subsequent English Reformation.
