SUMMARY:Katherine of Aragon: Beyond the Stereotypes
DESCRIPTION:What was life really like for Henry VIII’s six wives? Caroline Willcocks\, who has researched and written four successful novels on the Tudor Queens talks about their lives and loves. Was Katherine of Aragon a liar? Was Anne Boleyn a schemer? Did Anne of Cleves smell? Over four talks she discusses these women and the legacy they have left. PLEASE NOTE: this talk will be held at the Local History Centre. \nTalk one\nUnveiling the True Character of Henry the Eighth’s First Tudor Queen\nExplore the extraordinary life of Katherine of Aragon\, the first wife of Henry VIII. Too often dismissed as dowdy and overly pious\, Katherine’s true legacy is far richer and more nuanced. Was she merely a devout and plain figure\, or did her intelligence\, political acumen\, and  beauty shape the course of English history? Discover how Katherine navigated the treacherous world of Tudor politics\, championed scholarship for women\, and inspired devotion and respect across Europe. This session will challenge prevailing myths and invite you to see Katherine not as a passive victim\, but as a clever\, resilient\, and charismatic queen whose influence is celebrated to this day. \nAccompanying novel ‘Of Aragon’ by Caroline Willcocks. \nCaroline has lived in Bromyard for the last six years\, with her husband the poet John Pare\, a dog and a cat. She has worked in the theatre\, freelance journalism and for charities before writing six novels (so far). Her work examines human emotions in a historical context and celebrates the passion and danger of the Tudor court. \nEach talk is standalone but can also be booked as a course of four for the price of three via the Conquest Theatre booking system. Bookings can also be made in person at the theatre on Saturday and Wednesday mornings between 10.30am and 12.30pm. \n
