Patience, Princess Catherine

The Story of Young Princess Catherine Catherine of Aragon grew up expecting she would someday become the queen of England-not a dejected teenage widow. But that is exactly what happens when fragile Prince Arthur, to whom she has been betrothed since the age of three, dies only months after their wedding. Her power now obsolete, Catherine is exiled to a dank castle in a remote part of the country. She is stranded there for years with little money and no control over her own fate. There is one ray of light in Catherine's lonely life-her friendship with handsome Prince Henry, her deceased husband's younger brother. A marriage to Henry could elevate Catherine from her precarious position and give her the crown that she was once promised. But will Henry take the risk of making the destitute princess his queen? Only time will tell....Meyer, Carolyn is the author of 'Patience, Princess Catherine', published 2005 under ISBN 9780152054472 and ISBN 0152054472.
