Catherine Parr, part 1

Can you believe we've finally made it to the final wife of Henry VIII? It's finally time for Catherine Parr's story! In this episode, we get to know Catherine and learn about her upbringing and her role model mother, Maude. Fun fact: Catherine Parr was named after Catherine of Aragon. So Henry VIII's last wife is named after his first wife. Neat-o. Also in this episode, we learn about Catherine's life as a country lady and how she dealt with the infamous Pilgrimage of Grace. Then, of course, we end with Henry VIII entering the chat. Enjoy! For more from us in this time period, check out our Spotify playlist, Tudor Women.
