Catherine of Aragon

Katherine of Aragon
Katherine was the first wife of Henry VIII(http://englishhistory.net/tudor/h8crown.html). She was wed to him, and seemed very happily in love(http://www.theromantic.com/LoveLetters/catherine.htm). She greatly respected her husband, which showed in her letters to him. She signed them "Your humble wife and true servant, Katherine" (http://englishhistory.net/tudor/letter2.html). She took care of a lot of his work for him while he was away, and she sent him letters regarding the current ongoings(http://englishhistory.net/tudor/letter2.html). It seemed that she was a very responsible and caring person, but Henry later wanted to divorce her.
