Book Club Tuesday - The Constant Princess

This book is about Catherine of Arrogan who was the first wife of Henry VII. It was an interesting look at her life and where she came from. If you want a little dirt... she was actually married to Henry VII's brother Prince Arthur when they were both about 15. Arthur then died from a terrible flu or something and then Catherine swore that she and Prince Arthur never consummated their marriage... although they did, and were actually very much in love... which they hid from everyone! She promised Prince Arthur that she would tell everyone that they never consummated their marriage so that she would be able to marry his brother Harry (who later changed his name to Henry VII). Anyway, it is historical fiction, so these are stories that have been passed down for hundreds of years and have become a bit skewed. Nevertheless, it is a great read and insight into this very fascinating period.
