"This title presents the turbulent life and loves of Henry VIII's sixth wife. Romantic, chaotic and terrifying, Catherine Parr's life unfolds like a romance novel. Wed at 17 to the grandson of a confirmed lunatic, widowed at 20, Catherine chose a Yorkshire lord twice her age as her second husband. Caught up in the turbulent terrors of the Pilgrimage of Grace in 1536, she was captured by northern rebels, held hostage and suffered violence at their hands. Fleeing to the south shortly afterward, Catherine took refuge in the household of the Princess Mary and in the arms of the king's brother-in-law Sir Thomas Seymour. Her employment in Mary's household brought her to the attention of Mary's father, the unpredictable, often-wed Henry VIII. Desperately in love with Seymour, Catherine was forced into marriage with a king whose passion for her could not be hidden and who was determined to make her his queen.This is the only available biography of Catherine Parr, the first for over 30 years"--Publisher's description.
