Judith Claire MitchellWhy doesn't anyone tell you we all wind up married to Henry the VIII?......My dear Anne Boleyn, ...the only way a woman can avoid waking up next to Henry is to model herself after his daughter Elizabeth and sleep next to no one at all.
About This Quote
Catherine Parr, the sixth wife of Henry VIII, was the mother of two children and had a good relationship with her first husband. She was on friendly terms with her second husband and his first wife. However, that was not the case with her third husband and his first wife. She had no contact or communication with her fourth or fifth husbands.
Catherine Parr wanted to avoid this situation. She used what she had learned from Henry’s first three marriages and applied it to her own marriage. This meant no late night dates, no sleeping with other men, and no random sleeping with other women.
