In this episode rerun of our classic 2017 episode (omg we were podcasting babies) we delve into the captivating story of Catherine of Aragon and her tumultuous relationship with Henry VIII. We explore the intricacies of her marriages and the immense pressure she faced as she attempted to provide Henry with a much-desired male heir. Moreover, we uncover the profound religious factors that influenced their union, including Henry's significant break from Rome and the toll it took on Catherine. As we discuss Catherine's various health struggles and her ultimate battle with cancer, we are inspired by her unwavering strength, unwavering devotion, and remarkable ability to adapt to daunting circumstances. To honor her enduring legacy, we raise our glasses and reflect on the profound impact Catherine had on both England and Europe as a whole.

In this episode we will go over:

Did Catherine of Aragon invent the mic drop?
The many men that failed our queen
Staying strong in your convictions
Did they or didn't they?
