An interesting story based on the historical account of Katherine of Aragon. Katherine is depicted as a brave and heroic woman with an unbreakable desire to be Queen of England as that is what she was brought up to believe her purpose. She becomes a victim of her father and father-in- law’s vindictive greed as well as her second husband’s feebleness. She is a woman whose strengths and assets have probably been overlooked by history.
