Katherine Parr

2012 is the 500th  anniversary of the birth of Katherine Parr. Today (9th September) there is a celebration of her life at Sudeley Castle where she lived. It will include  a re-enactment of her funeral.

Katherine is famed as Henry VIII’s sixth wife (the one who outlived him) and as  Elizaebth’s guardian. In this role she turned a blind eye to the cynical and exploitative actions of her fourth husband, Thomas Seymour, to the young Elizabeth. A report on the day can be found from the Daily Telegraph here.
