Conceived six children, only one daughter lived
Her husband abandoned her for a younger woman.

A mistress she would not be
A queen she was crowned but only for a thousand days
Than her husband had her head cut off

She was smart and agreed to go quietly.
She lived the rest of her life as the kings sister.

Both ladies that the king couldn’t resist.
Katherine was just a child, she couldn’t control herself

She questioned the king on religion and almost lost her head
She was smart and begged the king forgiveness
She survived the king and lived.
C1:
All the wives of Henry VIII have sad stories
Only three had a child to keep them company
All had a cruel husband, that cared more about himself than them
Their legacy lives on forever.
