Catherine of Aragon was a Spanish Princess who was married to Prince Arthur (Henry’s brother) at the time of his death. At the age of 16, she was a widow and lived in a strange land knowing very little English. Years following her husband’s death, at the age of 23, Catherine married her brother-in-law and future King of England, Henry, when he was just 17 years old.
