Katherine of Aragon, the first wife of King Henry VIII, left a profound and lasting legacy that goes far beyond her role as the mother of England's first queen regnant. Though often portrayed as a prim and pious figure, the real Katherine was a complex and fascinating woman who defied the conventions of her time and stood up for what she believed in. Today, we revisit the episode where I was joined by Dr. Emma Cahill Marron. Emma has studied Katherine and Aragon and her family extensively and her knowledge of art history gives her a unique insight into Katherine's world.

In this 5 Minute History Episode we look at the departure of Princess Mary Tudor (daughter of Henry VII) to France for her wedding to King Louis XII.

It's that time of year when many of us are in the midst of the winter months...maybe it's cold where you live, or maybe you have a bunch of snow to deal with. This episode is to give you a moment to escape and hopefully be transported back to a simpler (yet possibly more challenging) time.
