Anne: It’s so infuriating! Like, why did Catalina have to reincarnate into someone even hotter?!

Anna: You thought the 50-something year old lady who’s husband you stole was hot?

Anne: That’s like, so not my point

"Intellectually, Katharine was very much a woman of ‘the Renaissance’. It was curiously appropriate that she had been born at Alcalá de Henares, where in 1499 the most advanced university in Spain was established (La Universidad Complutense). In the years 1502–22, the university produced the celebrated ‘Polyglot Bible’, in which the Old Testament was printed in Caldean, Hebrew, Greek and Latin and the New Testament in Greek and Latin; it was one of the emblematic works of what was called ‘the New Learning’, the rediscovery of the culture and values of classical antiquity and their application to the contemporary world. Katharine knew Cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros, who had supervised the project – indeed, she had been born in his palace – and came in time to form friendships with some of the leading members of the great generation of humanist scholars who were transforming European letters – Antonio de Nebrija and Juan Luis Vives among the Spaniards; Thomas More and John Colet among the Englishmen. Indeed, Katharine was part of a generation in Spain which was learning to value women in quite a new way; as an expression of this, the University of Alcalá (like that of Salamanca) even appointed women to professorial chairs. Truly, the world was changing at an astonishing rate."

Patrick Williams, Katharine of Aragon: The Tragic Story of Henry VIII's First Unfortunate Wife

Future au

Mary (16): *trying to annoy Anne* hey Anne, how old is your girlfriend?

Anne (26) : like, 42. Why?

Mary: Damn. She’s so old she could be my mom.

Anne:*drags Lina out* that’s because she is your mom.

Mary: MOM?!

(For legal reasons, they have only been dating for a year. For my safety purposes, this is a joke. Please don’t kill me)

"It is, of course, possible that these Spaniards lied, or dressed up the truth, to protect their beloved princess. It is also possible that they did not. Either way, they were no more or less likely to be lying than the witnesses in England. That makes their testimony as valid as that of those who claimed to have met an ebullient Arthur demanding beer to quench the thirst of a night of hard love-making. Their words add, if not a definitive tilt, then some extra grains of sand to one side of the moral balance on which Catherine is habitually weighed. That balance measures whether she was the pious victim of a cruel, selfish husband or a consummate liar hiding behind an apparently saintly exterior. Judgements of her have swung backwards and forwards from one extreme to the other over the centuries – and still divide people today. [...] Catherine can, of course, be measured on many more scales than just that which deems her either truthful or deceiving. The most important traits of her character have, in fact, little to do with honesty or falsehood. What really matters about her is the strength of that character. A protected childhood amid a family of intense, self-demanding Spanish women does much to explain where this came from. Catherine grew up to become a woman of deep, even exaggerated, intensity. The complex and unhappy early English years, with their constant illnesses, eating problems and stern written instructions from the pope to avoid the self-harm of excessive fasting, give the first few clues to that nature. These were the reactions of a young, perfectionist woman who found herself lonely, lost and unloved in a foreign land. That same intensity and perfectionism explain, too, both her success and popularity as a queen consort and her final embrace of potential martyrdom."

-Giles Tremlett, Catherine of Aragon: Henry's Spanish Queen

Last sketch prom outfit sketch I've done. It's Anne and Cathy from my boarding school AU.

Figured I'd also put them all together, just to keep things tidy and have all my queens in one place :))

Click for quality bc Tumblr ruins it :’(

All of Catalina’s reactions during Wearing Yellow to a Funeral are pure gold

You can see that at first she actually thinks Anne is gonna pay a homage to her, she makes some drama about her death with this pained expression and raising her hand

While Anne starts talking she’s still emotional, she’s entirely focused on remembering her death and barely notices what Boleyn is actually saying

She then notices what Anne is doing and immediately starts laughing in shock

Like, Catalina isn’t hurt about it all and it just gets me every time how she starts acting offended after Anne gets interupted. Within the context of the show that could easily indicate that this is mostly an act. She knows that they’re supposed to be at each other’s throats, but can’t help but laugh when Boleyn starts making fun of her

Also, shout out to Cathy for being literally the man standing emoji during this whole thing
