Tudor History with Claire Ridgway

Catherine of Aragon – The Warrior Queen


Listen Later

Did Catherine of Aragon really ride into battle at Flodden, dressed in armour, leading her troops to victory? 
 
It’s a thrilling image—one even some 16th-century sources suggest! But the truth? Catherine wasn’t at Flodden… yet her role in England’s victory was still crucial.
 
As regent in Henry VIII’s absence, she was no passive queen. She rallied troops, arranged for supplies, and even wanted to send Henry a gruesome trophy—King James IV’s body!
 
So, was she a warrior queen in the traditional sense? Or does her real power lie in her sharp political mind and strong leadership? Let’s uncover the truth behind the myth! Was Catherine England’s greatest warrior queen?
