In a kingdom ruled by men, a young Spanish woman is handed over to England to be the Tudor's new toy, and eventually, the queen. This woman is Catherine of Aragon, the first wife of Henry VIII. Her journey began long before her marriage and ascension to queen, and ended long after she was replaced by the infamous Anne Boleyn. Her story is often overshadowed and forgotten, but she may be one of the most remarkable women of her time. In the royal court, the walls have ears, and the loyalties of the servants and spies determines who really rules the kingdom. Watch through the eyes of one of Catherine's most trusted maidservants and whisperers, and observe the glamorous world of Catherine of Aragon and her downfall at the hands of lust and love.

 

HISTORICAL DISCLAIMER-- This story is backed by history, though there are many characters of my own imagination. The four maidservants are characters that I created, however, places, events, and many other things are true. If you see an error, ask me about it and I will tell you if it was meant to be that way or not.(CC) Attrib. NonCommercial

When Prince Harry, Arthur's second brother, turns out to be the man who wrote the letters, she can't help but wish it was him who would be her husband. But when she lays eyes on Edmund, the third son ad Duke of Cambridge, she knows that she is utterly undone. When Arthur dies in 1502 after five months of an awkward marriage, that leaves Harry as heir to the throne, but she must choose between Destiny and Love.

The Arranged Marriage (The Tudor's Series) by Dat_AthRojas

***MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY*** Following the divorce of his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII of England continues on his search for a new Queen. Enduring the hatred of his people that once screamed his name out of love and the orders from his Privy Council, Henry's freedom to choose his future Queen is jeopardized when his Chief Minister, Thomas Cromwell, 1st Earl of Essex, introduces the famous, Lady Anne Boleyn. Desperate for another heir, Henry is clearly blinded by love at the sight of Lady Boleyn. But will Henry's wish for a male heir be granted or will something else catch the King's eye? Read along as you watch the fate of Henry VIII's legacy change forever. Based on the Showtime Series 'The Tudors'. This book will take a slight curvature involving the original series, since my other book 'Long May She Reign' and the rest of the following, tie into the Tudor family. There will be an overlap in a few of the chapters but will mainly focus on the Tudors. Keep in mind this is a FANFIC, this story won't follow Henry's life every step of the way. His last wife won't be mentioned, and the 4th and 5th will be written around the new characters.

In the glittering halls of Tudor England, where ambition and desire entwine, a new force arrives to disrupt the fragile balance of power. Lady Vittoria de' Medici, a radiant beauty from the illustrious Florentine dynasty, is sent to Henry VIII's court with her brother to negotiate a trade alliance. With her sharp wit, refined elegance, and beguiling charm, she quickly becomes the centre of attention in a realm already ablaze with political and romantic intrigue. For King Henry, embroiled in a tempestuous relationship with Anne Boleyn, Vittoria is an irresistible distraction-a woman who embodies the sophistication and allure of a world beyond England's shores. For Anne, Vittoria is both a threat and a mirror, reflecting the precariousness of her own position as Henry's affections waver. As Vittoria navigates the treacherous waters of court politics, she must balance her family's ambitions with her own desires. Torn between duty and the unexpected stirrings of her heart, she finds herself drawn to Henry in ways she never anticipated. What begins as a calculated manoeuvre to secure her family's future soon spirals into a passionate love affair that will shape the fate of a kingdom. Henry VIII x oc
