CATHERINE PARR: The Queen who SURVIVED HENRY VIII and the SCANDAL of Elizabeth I and Thomas Seymour

Ever wondered how CATHERINE PARR became the Queen who SURVIVED HENRY VIII and what happened next? For managing to outlive Henry VIII, his sixth wife deserves to be remembered as one the most amazing women in history, but how did she do it? This Tudors documentary from History Calling will take you through Catherine’s life, showing how her background, temperament and intelligence made her the ideal Queen for Henry and helped her survive him, despite having a near miss in 1546 when he almost had her arrested. We’ll also look at the Tudor scandal which erupted when Catherine married Thomas Seymour as well as the childhood of Elizabeth I, her relationship with her step-mother before and after Henry VIII's death and the even greater scandal of Elizabeth I and Thomas Seymour’s relationship.

Remember to check out my videos on Henry's other Queens in my six wives documentary series to learn more about Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard. Links below.
