At the time, surely Kateryn Parr had her reservations about being Henry VIII's sixth wife? Aside from being a tyrannical maniac who'd just beheaded his last wife, Catherine Howard, he was getting old, angry and his ulcerous leg was getting smelly. However, Kateryn was smart - she was the first queen to be a published author - and she loved the glitz and glamour of her new position. What was her life like before Henry entered the picture? How did she narrowly escape being sent to the tower for heresy? And why was her marriage after Henry so controversial? In the sixth and final episode of our limited series, Secret Wives of the Six Wives, Kate is joined by Tudor expert Nicola Tallis, to help us find out more about the woman who would thrive as a queen and go on to live to survive Henry VIII. This episode was edited and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long. All music from Epidemic Sounds/All3 Media.
