""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.
