Catherine Parr – The Survivor and Final Wife of Henry VIII
Catherine Parr, Henry VIII’s sixth and final wife, holds a unique place in Tudor history. Not only did she outlive the king, but she also played a pivotal role in the religious and political landscape of the time. Catherine was highly educated, compassionate, and deeply religious, making her reign as queen consort (1543–1547) one of influence and intellectual growth. Her life, however, was not without challenges, especially in navigating the treacherous waters of Henry’s court and his unpredictable temper.
