Imagine how she must have felt as a girl about twenty who went from bring a Princess Royal to a bastard. Required as Elizabeth later was, to live daily in fear of her life. Birds in gilded cages. Not to let loose, not even to be killed while Henry continued his quest for a male heir. Then come Edward and living under the rule of a child tyrant, himself the pawn of his relatives. It is amazing that either girl was able to retain her sanity, and why each was warped although in different ways.

Did you ever see the old PBS series The Six Wives of Henry VIII? The depiction of Catherine was very good, I thought, abandoned to a house in the swamps, denied the company of her daughter, beloved by the people (tens of thousands lined the route of her funeral train . . . I believe she was buried up at Perterboro. Not sure.
