Welcome to our 150th episode!
As a treat, we have something very special for you today.
Heather R Darsie is back on the show, once more we talk of her upcoming book
"Katharine of Aragon: Spanish Princess: I Am Not as Simple as I May Seem", published by Amberley Books.
This book dives deep into Katharine’s life when she was a young princess in Spain.
We get to learn all about her relations and the state of Iberian politics which makes for a fuller picture of Europe in the 16th century, especially if we already know what happened when Katharine arrived in England.
Let's re-evaluate what we know of Katharine, as the daughter of Spain.
