EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image showcases the tomb of Queen Catherine Parr, the first wife of King Henry VIII of England, located within the hallowed grounds of Peterborough Cathedral. Born in 1485 as Catherine of Aragon, she was the daughter of the renowned Spanish monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella. Her lineage as a princess of Spain and her subsequent marriage to the English king in 1509 marked the beginning of a complex and tumultuous chapter in English and European history. Catherine's tomb, a testament to her royal status and the significance of her life, is a poignant reminder of her time as queen consort. Her reign was marked by political intrigue, the birth of her daughter, Princess Mary, and the annulment of her marriage, which led to her being replaced by Anne Boleyn as Henry's wife. The intricate design of the tomb, with its ornate carvings and richly decorated surface, reflects the grandeur and opulence of the Tudor era. The effigy of Catherine lies in repose, dressed in regal attire, her hands folded in prayer, and her face bearing an expression of serene tranquility. The tomb also houses the remains of her second husband, Thomas Seymour, Duke of Somerset, who married her following Henry's death in 1547. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of Peterborough Cathedral and the fascinating life of Queen Catherine Parr, a princess of Spain who left an indelible mark on the history of England.
