When the king takes care of the court lady, her heart usually trembles with delight and secret hopes, especially if His Majesty is an widower and intends to marry again. But not in the case of the English king Henry VIII with his reputation of the Blue Beard: next to him, not a single woman could feel safe! His first spouse died in exile after a scandalous divorce (there were rumors that she was poisoned by the highest order); The second, the famous Anna Bolein, the king executed for the imaginary “treason”; The third died from a birth fever; The marriage with the fourth was canceled; The fifth also ended life on a scaffold. And now the monarch offers the “hand and heart” of Katarina Parr, who should become him “comfort in old age”. And let her be in love with another and never wanted a crown – His Majesty does not accept failures.
Will the last wife of Henry VIII be able to avoid the tragic fate of his predecessors?
