THE SIX WIVES OF HENRY VIII

[Chapuys] thought that she [Katharine of Aragon] had been excessively compassionate. Later on in his life he described her as ‘the most virtuous woman I have ever known and the highest hearted, but too quick to trust that others were like herself, and too slow to do a little ill that much good might come of it.’ Excerpt from Catherine of Aragon: Henry's Spanish Queen by Giles Tremlett, published 2010.

Leaving Arthur behind for the moment, he rode straight to Dogmersfield, where he told Katherine’s outraged attendants, who tried to protest that the princess could not see him because she was resting, that he would see her even if she was in bed. This, stated the king, was “the Mynde and Intent of his Comminge.” Katherine, showing wisdom beyond her years, graciously bowed to the inevitable, and prospective father-in-law and daughter-in-law saw each other for the very first time. Any suspicions that the king might have had concerning Katherine’s appearance were swiftly allayed. She was pretty, petite, and auburn-haired, with a demure expression, yet well educated, poised, and eager to please, surely the ideal wife for Henry’s precious eldest son. It was true that she spoke no English, but time and effort would soon remedy that. The king had no doubt that he had made a good bargain.
