Katharine, the Virgin Widow by Jean Plaidy

A royal widow fights for her uncertain future

Very Good Condition – light cover and edge wear visible.

Young Katharine of Aragon arrives in England as a Spanish princess and a valuable pawn in the ambitions of two powerful monarchies. Her marriage to Prince Arthur is intended to unite kingdoms, but his early death leaves her isolated at court and her future dependent on negotiations she cannot control. With England and Spain disputing whether the marriage was ever consummated, Katharine must defend her honour, inheritance, and claim to a place beside Arthur’s younger brother, Henry. Jean Plaidy brings the Tudor court to life through political manoeuvring, family duty, and a young woman’s determination to secure the destiny that will eventually make her Queen of England.
