A splendid and sumptuous historical novel from the internationally
bestselling author, Philippa Gregory, telling of the early life of
Katherine of Aragon. I was born a princess, destined to be queen,
and I know my duty. 1491. Henry VII's eldest son Arthur Tudor,
Prince of Wales, has been betrothed since childhood to the Spanish
princess Katherine of Aragon. Their marriage will cement the
alliance Henry Tudor craves to secure his country. But when
Arthur's sudden death leaves an 11-year-old boy heir to the
kingdom, Henry Tudor must choose whether to send Katherine back to
Spain, or to marry her himself. Katherine has no son from her brief
marriage to secure her future; her substantial dowry and his
powerful contract are at stake. Henry has reckoned without the
determination of a young woman set on fulfilling her own destiny to
be a queen - and the ambition of Prince Harry, the future Henry
VIII.
