false 16181 22 "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. 1745738 book 2003 The Constant Princess total:10449|5:2076|4:4130|3:3259|2:821|1:163| 10449 38482 14363 1434 2 6 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 20 13:14:36 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 20 13:14:36 -0700 2007
