Henry VIII?s fifth wife, Katherine Howard, was both foolish and unfaithful, and she paid for it with her life. Henry vowed that his sixth wife would be different, and she was. Katherine Parr was twice widowed and thirty-one years old. A thoughtful, well-read lady, she was known at court for her unblemished reputation and her kind heart. She had hoped to marry for love and had set her heart on Thomas Seymour, the dashing brother of Henry?s third queen. But the aging king?more in need of a nurse than a wife?was drawn to her, and Katherine could not refuse his proposal of marriage. Queen Katherine was able to soothe the King?s notorious temper, and his three children grew fond of her, the only mother they had ever really known.
