anneboleynqueen’s picks: worst headpieces from the tudors A note from the op: This is a comedic take on the fashion of the show. I “hate” only two of these. This is obviously a case of “we can’t have our hot leading lady wearing “stupid stuff” on her head” as well as “we need historic headwear, who cares if it’s decades off”. At least Anne isn’t wearing a crown in every episode of season 2.

♦ Years between Prince Arthur’s death and her marriage to Henry VIII proved increasingly difficult for Katherine of Aragon. Not only the marriage negotiations dragged on continually, leaving no certainty if the union will ever take place, but there were also financial problems to face due to the lack of understanding between Ferdinand II of Aragon and Henry VII as to the payment of her dowry. Left, almost entirely, to her own devices, Katherine struggled to maintain herself and her household on decent level. It was up to the two kings, of course, to come to terms and improve her circumstances. Yet, the Princess, reduced to comparative obscurity and anxious about her future in England, found it was vital to common benefit to replace the then-current ambassador Dr De Puebla, of whose handling of her affairs Katherine thought she had many a cause to complain.

Finally, in 1507, after receiving many urges from his daughter to resolve this matter, Ferdinand found it fit to appoint Katherine herself as his envoy for the time before the new ambassador could be found and made his way to England. Thus Katherine became the first female ambassador in Europe and got unique chance to influence the international affairs and her own future. Surely, no one had her interests and the question of her marriage closer to their hearts that Katherine herself.
