A few years ago the amazing @tudorblogger produced a guest post on Thomas Seymour, Katherine Parrs forth husband and love of her life. She talks about his downfall in her book Tudor Executions by @penswordbooks. Katherine was married four times (her first husbands died natural deaths). Each husband, in effect, allowed Katherine to rise closer to the heart of court and even becoming Queen if England. Why Katherine? Who better to talk about Katherine as Regent while Henry was in France than the amazing @katherineparrsociety? Walk in the footsteps of Katherine Parr by visiting these stunning places, all with their own stories and parts to play in her story. Its time for part for of my bitesize facts on Katherine Parr. What if Henry and Anne had one last meeting before she was executed? What would had been said? Sorry for the lack of KP content the last few days! Day 15 (im a little behind) of my Katherine Parr takeover brings me to some book reccomendations. There are some amazing biographies of Katherine out there and she also features in various books on Henry VIII and books on his six wives. Ive chosen the ones exclusively Katherine focused.
