Last marriage and death In 1543 Henry married his sixth and last wife, Catherine Parr. Parr was a wealthy widow whose two previous husbands died leaving her with a lot of money (this will be Henry's fate too which will prompt some people to name Catherine a „black widow"). She was more of a nurse to Henry than his wife since he was very ill at this time. She was still able to slightly influence Henry and reconcile him with his daughters Mary and Elizabeth. She urged Henry to put them back in line
was going to dispose of his latest queen, Katherine Parr, as he had done to nearly every other wife he had until this time. It was through her education, kind nature and clever move of appealing to the king's pride that she was able to save her neck from the chopping block. Katherine was able to survive this episode and outlived King Henry VIII to be remembered in history as the wife who got away. Katherine was born to Sir Thomas and Maud Parr in 1512.

It is certainly possible that the tragic fates of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard impressed upon her a certain fear of marriage, but there may have been other reasons for the Queen's
Elizabeth Tudor is thought to be the greatest ruler in English history. She was born on September 7, 1533. She lived to be sixty nine years old and ruled for almost 45 years. “The first Elizabeth of England, who died not quite four hundred years ago, became such a great queen that she gave her name to her time, the Elizabethan Age” (Thomas 1).

Catherine Lucille Moore's Shambleu and Greek Mythology Throughout history, humans have had legends, myths and folk tales.

Her sanctity consists in half a century of faithful service as a simple Daughter of Charity. Catherine was born of Peter and
