#Queen catherine

"What are the other queens to you?”

Aragon: Well, we didn’t get along great at first; It was rough patch to overcome considering our last lives, but with time I learned to value, respect and even love them. We are like family in a way.

Aragon: Oh, and there’s also Anne.

Seymour: Annoyances in the best days, my children in the worst ones.

Howard: The only adults I don’t feel like punching.

Howard, in a whisper: At least not usually.

Parr: Well, I wouldn’t say we’re friends. It’s sort of group of strangers I grew emotionally attatched to during difficult periods of my life.

Boleyn: Losers.

Anna: My bitches.

The others: Woof.

Irene Papas as Catherine of Aragon on set of Anne of the Thousand Days

[sophiebernadotte]

17 Jan. 1251 - This is the last time Katarina Sunesdotter is mentioned in any source material by name, but it is believed that she died in the following year, 1252. Katarina was the eldest of Helena Sverkersdotter and Sune Folkesson’s two daughters and, therefore, granddaughter of Sverker the Younger and Benedikta.

Around 1243-1244, Katarina married Erik XI (Erik Eriksson den läspe och halte) to strengthen his claim to the throne, as she was of royal blood on her mother's side. Katarina had received an immense dowery upon the marriage - some legends speak about “half the kingdom”.

After Erik died in 1250, she became an abbess at Gudhem’s Abbey, where she was buried. The original sculptured tombstone is now at Historiska museet, but a copy was made and placed at the original site in 1964.

Catherine of Aragon is so wife by Mitski coded. Every time I listen to this song, Catherine consumes my every thought & it makes me want to commit war crimes

Incase you haven’t heard the song, I linked it up top!

Specifically;

“I cannot bear you a son, but I will try

For if I am not yours, what am I?”

&

“I daydream I’d give one a name of my own

For I, even I, even I am a loan

I have, I have, I watch a dream

Breaking, Breaking, Breaking me

Away from my cliff, I am looking down from”

Remember, it doesn't matter what those scared boys with no self-confidence say. You have the right to be Queen. You have the right to be strong and independent. You have the right to look for a man who will be your knight, not your executioner.

"A little wicked" That's what he calls me 'Cause that's what I am That's what I am No one calls you honey, when you're sitting on a throne No one calls you honey, when you're sitting on a throne Beware the patient woman, 'cause this much I know No one calls you honey, when you're sitting on a throne One of these days a-comin', I'm gonna take that boy's crown There's a serpent in these still waters, lying deep down To that king I will bow, at least for now One of these days a-comin', I'm gonna take that boy's crown

All of Henry VIII:s queens were royally fucked over, but we as a society owe Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard especially an apology. 

Neither of them were wicked sluts. Anne was not a scheming demoness and Catherine was not an airheaded bimbo. 

Anne was smart enough to keep the king at a distance to get on level footing with him, refusing to be his mistress as she saw how being the king’s plaything affected her sister Mary. 

Catherine was a teenage woman who had been sexually abused by several men from childhood, and assumed sex and love were interchangeable measures of affection. 

Henry used them both, and Henry killed them both. 

Anne and Catherine may not have been God’s greatest children, or even close to it, but they were victims.

Neither deserved to be beheaded for sins that were not even of their own making.
