The Constant Princess

by Philippa Gregory Book 7 in the The Plantagenet and Tudor Novels series.

First published 2005

4.2(7,135)

Catherine of Aragon is raised to secure a dynastic marriage with Arthur, Prince of Wales, and arrives in England determined to become queen. Arthur’s early death leaves her isolated while Henry VII delays her future and disputes over dowry and consummation shape her position.

Catherine eventually marries the future Henry VIII and helps define the confidence of his early reign. The novel presents her later resistance to annulment as rooted in promises, faith and a lifelong conviction that queenship was her appointed destiny.
