Katherine of Aragon: The Queen of Queens Sep 24, 2024

Show notes

Today, I’m thrilled to welcome back Dr. Emma for another deep dive into one of our favorite subjects—Katherine of Aragon! As always, our conversation branches into so many fascinating Tudor topics that it’s hard to list them all. But this episode is fittingly titled Katherine of Aragon: The Queen of Queens, because the more we discuss her, the more I’m struck by her immense contributions to Tudor history. It’s also a reminder of just how strategic Henry VII was in securing that powerful marriage alliance with Spain.
