Catherine, the youngest daughter of the Catholic Monarchs, has long been a forgotten figure in Spain. In England, however—where she lived from her adolescence after arriving to marry the king—she became a legend. This is the story of a lonely young woman who went on to become Europe’s first female ambassador; a woman who did not waver even when faced with the power of the king himself—an act that triggered a major schism with the Catholic Church—and a mother who never ceased fighting for her only daughter. From Kimbolton Castle, as she awaits the end of her life, Catherine recounts the dangerous intrigues of the royal court and the stifling selfishness of Henry VIII, as well as the circumstances that led her to win the favor of the English people.
