Excerpt: Anne of Denmark (12 December 1574 2 March 1619) was queen consort of Scotland, England, and Ireland as the wife of King James VI and I. The second daughter of King Frederick II of Denmark, Anne married James in 1589 at the age of fourteen and bore him three children who survived infancy, including the future Charles I. She demonstrated an independent streak and a willingness to use factional Scottish politics in her conflicts with James over the custody of Prince Henry and his treatment of her friend Beatrix Ruthven. Anne appears to have loved James at first, but the couple gradually drifted and eventually lived apart, though mutual respect and a degree of affection survived. In England, Anne shifted her energies from factional politics to patronage of the arts and constructed a magnificent court of her own, hosting one of the richest cultural salons in Europe. After 1612, she suffered sustained bouts of ill health and gradually withdrew from the centre of court life. Though she was reported to have been a Protestant at the time of her death, evidence suggests that she may have converted to Catholicism at some stage in her life.

Excerpt:Catherine Howard Catherine Howard (c. 1521 13 February 1542), also spelled Katherine or Katheryn , was the fifth wife of Henry VIII of England , and sometimes known by his reference to her as his "rose without a thorn". Catherine's birth date and place of birth are unknown (but occasionally cited as 1521 or 1524, possibly in Wingate, County Durham ). She was the daughter of Lord Edmund Howard , a younger son of the 2nd Duke of Norfolk. This made her a first cousin of the King's second wife, Anne Boleyn . Catherine married Henry VIII on 28 July 1540, at Oatlands Palace in Surrey , almost immediately after the annulment of his marriage to Anne of Cleves was arranged. However she was beheaded after less than two years of marriage to Henry on the grounds of treason , meaning adultery committed while married to the King. Life Early life Catherine Howard was the fourth child of Lord Edmund Howard and Joyce Culpeper . Catherine's exact date of birth is unknown, although the year has been estimated as being between 1521 and 1525. She was the niece of Elizabeth Howard , who was the mother of Anne Boleyn , George Boleyn and Mary Boleyn . Catherine, as the granddaughter of the Duke of Norfolk , had an aristocratic pedigree. But her father, a younger son, was not well-off owing to primogeniture and the large size of his family, and he often begged for handouts from his more powerful relatives. His niece, Anne Boleyn, Catherine's cousin, got him a government job working for the King in Calais in 1531. At this point, young Catherine was sent to live with her step-grandmother, Agnes Tilney , the Dowager Duchess of Nor... ... Read more

Chapters: Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Catherine Parr, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, Wives of Henry Viii. Excerpt:Anne Boleyn Anne Boleyn (pronounced / b l n/ or /b l n/ ; c. 1501 or 1507 19 May 1536) was Queen of England from 1533 to 1536 as the second wife of King Henry VIII and 1st Marquess of Pembroke in her own right for herself and her descendants. Henry's marriage to Anne, and her subsequent execution, made her a key figure in the political and religious upheaval that was the start of the English Reformation . The daughter of Sir Thomas Boleyn and his wife, Lady Elizabeth Howard , Anne was educated in the Netherlands and France, largely as a maid of honour to Queen Claude of France . She returned to England in early 1522, in order to marry her Irish cousin James Butler ; however, the marriage plans ended in failure and she secured a post at court as maid of honour to Queen consort Catherine of Aragon . In 1525, Henry VIII became enamoured of Anne and began pursuing her. She resisted all his attempts to seduce her, refusing to become his mistress as her sister, Mary Boleyn , had. It soon became the one absorbing object of Henry's desires to annul his marriage to Queen Catherine, so he would be free to marry Anne. When it became clear that Pope Clement VII would not annul the marriage, the breaking of the power of the Roman Catholic Church in England began. The Archbishop of York , Cardinal Thomas Wolsey , was dismissed to his diocese , allegedly at Anne Boleyn's instigation, and later the Boleyn family's chaplain, Thomas Cranmer , was appointed as Archbishop of Canterbury . Henry and Anne married on 25 January 1533. On 23 May 1533, Cranmer declared Henry and Catherine's marriage null and void; five days later, he declared Henry and Anne's marriage to be good... ...
