Carolyn Meyer

England anxiously awaits Prince Arthur's betrothed--the Spanish princess who will be its future queen. But when Arthur dies not long after the wedding, Catherine of Aragon's fate becomes uncertain. Will the king and Catherine's parents arrange a marriage with Arthur's brother, Henry, or will she return to Spain a widow? Through all this turmoil, the young princess's resolve remains unshaken. She will one day be England's queen . . . no matter how long it takes.

Patience, Princess Catherine

In 1501, fifteen-year-old Catharine of Aragon arrives in England and marries Arthur, the eldest son of King Henry VII, but when Arthur unexpectedly dies, her future becomes the subject of a bitter dispute between England and Spain.

Out of all of the books in this series, this is the only book that avoids the pitfalls common to works of historical fiction that deal with well-known historical actors. Unlike other books in this series from Meyer, Meyer confines the bulk of the narrative to the time when Catherine actually was a "young" royal. This fact, more than any other, kept me reading and intrigued.

Out of all of the books in this series, I recommend this one, and only this one.

Patience, Princess Catherine
