具體描述
Splendid and sumptuous historical novel from this internationally bestselling author, telling of the early life of Katherine of Aragon. We think of her as the barren wife of a notorious king; but behind this legacy lies a fascinating story. Katherine of Aragon is born Catalina, the Spanish Infanta, to parents who are both rulers and warriors. Aged four, she is betrothed to Arthur, Prince of Wales, and is raised to be Queen of England. She is never in doubt that it is her destiny to rule that far-off, wet, cold land. Her faith is tested when her prospective father-in-law greets her arrival in her new country with a great insult; Arthur seems little better than a boy; the food is strange and the customs coarse. Slowly she adapts to the first Tudor court, and life as Arthur's wife grows ever more bearable. But when the studious young man dies, she is left to make her own future: how can she now be queen, and found a dynasty? Only by marrying Arthur's young brother, the sunny but spoilt Henry. His father and grandmother are against it; her powerful parents prove little use. Yet Katherine is her mother's daughter and her fighting spirit is strong. She will do anything to achieve her aim; even if it means telling the greatest lie, and holding to it. Philippa Gregory proves yet again that behind the apparently familiar face of history lies an astonishing story: of women warriors influencing the future of Europe, of revered heroes making deep mistakes, and of an untold love story which changes the fate of a nation.

讀後感
这本小说是女作家菲利帕•格里高利所创作的“都铎王朝五部曲”之第一部，译名应为《忠诚的公主》。女主是亨利八世的第一个王后，阿拉贡的凯瑟琳。 小说创作的动机，源于在凯瑟琳王后同亨利8的离婚案中，有关她与亨利8结婚时是否是处女这一历史公案。史学家对此众说纷纭，至今...
評分作为阿拉贡的费尔南多二世与卡斯蒂利亚的伊莎贝拉一世的幺女，作为亨利八世的第一任妻子，作为玛丽一世的母亲，作为查理五世的姨母，阿拉贡的凯瑟琳太容易成为浓墨重彩的书写前面那些显赫荣耀的名字之余的附带之笔，至多也只是和她的五位继任者们一起被当做六分之一的“亨利八...
