Book Reviews of The Constant Princess (Boleyn)

Book Review: Wonderful book, new look into Catherine of Aragon
Summary: 5 Stars

I thought this book was wonderful. I have been a fan of Philippa Gregory books for quite some time now and own all the books she has written. This particular book gave me a new perspective on Catherine of Aragon. It showed me more about Catherine besides what happened to her when Henry VII left her for Anne Boleyn. You get to know her as a child, a young woman, a great leader and wonderful queen. It is a great read for anyone interested in Tudor history.
I make jewelry based on pieces worn on the tv show "The Tudors". I usually make exact copies of pieces worn by Anne Boleyn and Catherine of Aragon and have definitely gained some inspiration from these books. Tudor history is a big part of my life.

Summary of The Constant Princess (Boleyn)

"I am Catalina, Princess of Spain, daughter of the two greatest monarchs the world has ever known...and I will be Queen of England."

Thus, bestselling author Philippa Gregory introduces one of her most unforgettable heroines: Katherine of Aragon. Known to history as the Queen who was pushed off her throne by Anne Boleyn, here is a Katherine the world has forgotten: the enchanting princess that all England loved. First married to Henry VIII's older brother, Arthur, Katherine's passion turns their arranged marriage into a love match; but when Arthur dies, the merciless English court and her ambitious parents -- the crusading King and Queen of Spain -- have to find a new role for the widow. Ultimately, it is Katherine herself who takes control of her own life by telling the most audacious lie in English history, leading her to the very pinnacle of power in England.

Set in the rich beauty of Moorish Spain and the glamour of the Tudor court, The Constant Princess presents a woman whose constancy helps her endure betrayal, poverty, and despair, until the inevitable moment when she steps into the role she has prepared for all her life: Henry VIII's Queen, Regent, and commander of the English army in their greatest victory against Scotland.
