*A Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller* Katherine of Aragon: The True
Queen by bestselling historian Alison Weir, author of The Lost
Tudor Princess, is the first in a spellbinding six novel series
about Henry VIII's Queens. Alison takes you on an engrossing
journey at Katherine's side and shows her extraordinary strength of
character and intelligence. Ideal for fans of Philippa Gregory and

little details that bring a world to life' Guardian A Spanish

an English Queen. Six weeks from home across treacherous seas,
everything is different: the language, the food, the weather. And
for her there is no comfort in any of it. At sixteen-years-old,
Catalina is alone among strangers. She misses her mother. She
mourns her lost brother. She cannot trust even those assigned to
her protection. KATHERINE OF ARAGON. The first of Henry's Queens.
Her story. History tells us how she died. This captivating novel
shows us how she lived. SIX TUDOR QUEENS. SIX NOVELS. SIX YEARS.
Praise for Alison Weir and Katherine of Aragon: 'A tender
understanding of and genuine sympathy for this proud, much-loved
and honourable Queen. . . I was gripped [from] start to finish'
Mavis Cheek 'Well-researched and engrossing' Good Housekeeping 'Yet
again, Alison Weir has managed to intertwine profound historical
knowledge with huge emotional intelligence, to compose a work that
throws light on an endlessly fascinating historical figure. Yet her
real gift in all of this is making it feel so fresh and alive' Earl
Spencer 'This exquisite book charts the rise and fall of Henry
VIII's first wife, Katherine. . . A fascinating insight into this
period of our history. Weir's undeniable strength is her immaculate
description, enabling the reader to be transported back to Tudor
England' Sun 'Katherine of Aragon, The True Queen is a true tour de
force. Finely crafted, this novel is wonderful historical fiction
and an outstanding introduction to the Six Tudor Queens series'
Queen Anne Boleyn Blog 'Known for bestselling historical
biographies, Alison Weir is in command of her detail . . . her
handling of Katherine's misery and dignified response to her
predicament is very touching' Elizabeth Buchan, Daily Mail
