'''Catherine of Aragon''' (1485-1536) was the daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella of [[Spain]] and was the first wife of [[Henry VIII]] whom she married in 1509. She had previously married his brother Arthur in 1501 until his untimely death ended that marriage. Catherine and Henry had a daughter together, [[Mary I|Mary]], but their marriage produced no male heirs. Henry had his marriage with Catherine annulled in 1533 without the approval of the [[Pope]] and broke away from the [[Catholic Church]] in order to marry his second wife, [[Anne Boleyn]].
Catherine was a devout Catholic, and her daughter Mary was raised the same. This caused difficulties for [[England]] when Mary assumed the throne and attempted to restore Catholicism. She became known in history as "Blood Mary".
