Meet the woman who survived Henry VIII in Elizabeth Fremantle’s Firebrand. My name is Katherine Parr. I’m 31 years old and already twice widowed. I’m in love with a man I can’t have, and am about to wed a man no-one would want – for my husband-to-be is none other than Henry VIII, who has already beheaded two wives, cast aside two more, and watched one die in childbirth. What will become of me once I’m wearing his ring and become Queen of England? They say that the sharpest blades are sheathed in the softest pouches. Only time will tell what I am really made of.

The perfect gift for every history lover this Christmas

My name is Katherine Parr.

I’m thirty-one years old – already twice widowed.
I love a man I can’t have.
I’m to wed a man no one would want.

He has cast aside two wives and watched another die in childbirth.
Two more have had their heads struck from their bodies, on his order.

What will become of me as Henry VIII’s sixth wife?

I will have the king’s ear. With that comes power.
But power means danger in the Tudor court.

Many have fallen.
Will I fall too?
