The Parr badge created by Queen Catherine after she became Queen. It represents her patron saint rising from a Tudor rose. Catherine's patron saint was Saint Catherine of Alexandria also known as Saint Catherine of the Wheel; Catherine Parr used her depiction as part of her royal emblem of a maiden with flowing blonde hair blooming from a Tudor Rose. The maidenhead had long been associated with the Parr family badge/arms. Previous to her marriage, the Parr family assumed as one of their badges derived, from the family of Ros of Kendal, the device of a maiden's head couped below the breast vested in ermine and gold; her hair of the last, or; and her head encircled with a wreath of red and white roses. The maidens can be found on the walls of the Parr Chapel in Kendal Parish Church.

The annotations in question largely consist of manicules, a hand with an extended index finger, and trefoils, a grouping of three dots, which the king placed alongside passages he saw as pertinent. “He marked passages that ask God to stop punishing him, to forgive him, and to impart divine wisdom upon him,” White told Artnet News. “These markings reveal that Henry also experienced moments of anxiety and uncertainty about the state of his soul and his position as God’s anointed ruler.” In one instance, a manicule is placed beside a passage that read: “Take away thy plagues from me, for thy punishment hath made me both feeble and faint.” In another, a trefoil is etched beside the words, “O Lord God forsake me not, although I have done no good in thy sight.”
Tumblr media
Of perhaps greater importance, White noted, is the provenance of the prayer book. It was a gift from his sixth, and final, wife Katherine Parr, who had translated and produced the book as a piece of military propaganda on the king’s behalf.

(screw it, y'all are getting completely out of context oc posts. no, i haven't posted a single thing about the ocs in question. this is also a Wild way to introduce these little guys)
(warnings for a lot of murder and death, including child murder and death, as well as abuse)
when your dad suddenly vanishes for five months so you and your mom decide to go through his stuff and look inside of all the rooms he kept locked, only to discover, in this order:
he has murdered several people, including children (mostly children, actually), and permanently fucked up several others,
he did most of this either in a Chuck E Cheese Rip-Off Diner he owned, or in the very house you've been raised in,
he apparently had a whole ass cryptid in the basement that considers itself his son, and apparently kins the Minotaur from Greek Mythology so hard that it named itself after him to an extent (this isn't a joke; the character in question is named "Minos"),
this cryptid then attempted to kill you and your mom because you weren't your dad, and only stopped when your mom stated that she was his wife, to which it responded, in perfect English, "...you are? You...aren't Mom 5...are you the sixth?"
which is then how you find out that your dad pulled a Henry VIII and had five other whole wives that not even your mom knew about, two of which had kids with him, meaning that you have two half-siblings that you didn't even know about,
the fucker straight up killed two of these wives, and effectively killed another out of negligence (she had an illness and he basically didn't even bother getting her treatment or even trying to give her any actual medical attention aside from the over-the-counter medicines he could buy at the store),
he apparently ripped a family apart for no other reason than because one of the members of this family that worked at the diner pissed him off (the family member in question was a traumatized, grieving, autistic genderqueer guy who was basically just lashing out),
the way he murdered them all was very horrific and disturbing, including drowning a boy in a lake while trying to kidnap him and then shoving the boy's twin sister down the basement stairs after giving her false hope that he'd let her go home when she'd been stuck in there for a few days, attempting to chop the genderqueer guy to pieces and disfigure him with an axe, and then making it appear as though their older sibling had hung herself in the diner,
he was getting haunted and stalked by a lot of ghosts, including the boy he had drowned, and despite that he still didn't feel remorse,
he straight up implies that he knows that his days are numbered, but that he's gonna try to to finish off the genderqueer guy (because apparently he didn't actually murder that guy??),
and this is all leading your mom to realize that she may or may not have been emotionally abused and manipulated by your dad.
and, to top it all off, this is all happening during a span of three days. while you're only ELEVEN YEARS OLD.

Day 8: Catherine Parr!
Catherine Parr was born in 1512, to a family of minor English nobility. She was reasonably well educated as a child, and continued her education as an adult; she would eventually speak five languages, and was the first woman in England to publish a vernacular book under her own name. 
She was married young, first to the sickly Sir Edward Burgh and then the middle-aged John, Lord Latimer. During a rebellion against Henry VIII, her husband was captured, and may have joined the rebels; he avoided the charge of treason but spent the rest of his life under a cloud. Upon his death, Catherine became an extremely wealthy widow.  She joined the household of Lady Mary, Henry VIII’s daughter, and was courted by Sir Thomas Seymour - and then, to her likely horror, by the king.   Catherine became Henry’s sixth and last wife. During her marriage, she published two books, bonded with her stepchildren, and served as regent during Henry’s last French war. She also barely escaped the violent fate of two of her predecessors when Henry grew suspicious of her Lutheran leanings.  After Henry’s death, Thomas Seymour resumed his courtship of Catherine, and the two married. Her former stepdaughter, Elizabeth, came to live with them, and Catherine, for the first time, was pregnant herself. She seemed to have finally found stability.. but it wasn’t to be. 
Seymour was sexually abusing Elizabeth, and Catherine, who had naively encouraged what she thought was a playful relationship, separated from him, while Elizabeth was sent to another household. The stress likely contributed to Catherine’s death in childbirth a few months later; her daughter followed her to the grave.

The Wives of King Henry the VIII.
His marriage were marked by varying degrees of happiness and tragedy, with several of his wives being executed for treason or adultery.
Tumblr media
Henry Tudor VIII
Henry the VIII
Henry VIII was the King of England from 1509 until his death in 1547. He is perhaps best known for his six marriages, as well as his role in the English Reformation.
Henry VIII was born on June 28, 1491, in Greenwich, England, the second son of King Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. He became heir to the throne after the death of his older brother Arthur in 1502.
Henry VIII married his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, in 1509. However, after many years of marriage and several miscarriages, Henry became convinced that his marriage was cursed, and he sought an annulment from the pope. When the pope refused to grant the annulment, Henry broke with the Catholic Church and declared himself the head of the Church of England, which allowed him to annul his marriage and marry his second wife, Anne Boleyn.
Henry's subsequent marriages to Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr were marked by varying degrees of happiness and tragedy, with several of his wives being executed for treason or adultery.
In addition to his personal life, Henry VIII is also remembered for his political and religious actions. He oversaw the dissolution of the monasteries in England, which led to the redistribution of their wealth and property, and he established the Church of England as a separate entity from the Catholic Church.
King Henry VIII of England had a total of six wives:
Catherine of Aragon (1485-1536): Devorced for Bearing No Son
Tumblr media
Catherine of Aragon
Catherine of Aragon: Henry's first wife, married in 1509. She was the widow of Henry's older brother, Arthur. Catherine and Henry were married for 24 years but were unable to produce a male heir, which led to their divorce in 1533.
Anne Boleyn (c. 1501-1536): The Union That Sparked Reformation, Beheaded
Tumblr media
Anne Boleyn
Anne Boleyn: Henry's second wife, married in 1533. Anne was a maid of honor in Catherine's court and became Henry's mistress while he was still married to Catherine. Anne was unable to produce a male heir and was accused of adultery, incest, and treason. She was beheaded in 1536.
Jane Seymour (1508-1537): The only one the King truly loved
Tumblr media
Jane Seymour
Jane Seymour: Henry's third wife, married in 1536, shortly after Anne Boleyn's execution. Jane was able to give Henry the male heir he had long desired, Edward VI, but she died from complications following childbirth.
Anne of Cleves (1515-1557): Strategic, Six-Month Marriage.
Tumblr media
Anne of Cleves
Anne of Cleves: Henry's fourth wife, married in 1540. The marriage was arranged by Thomas Cromwell, but Henry found Anne unattractive and the marriage was annulled after just six months.
Catherine Howard (1523-1542): Valued, Then Executed
Tumblr media
Catherine Howard
Catherine Howard: Henry's fifth wife, married in 1540. Catherine was accused of adultery and executed in 1542, just two years after her marriage to Henry.
Katherine Parr (1512-1548): The Queen Who Outlived Henry
Tumblr media
Katherine Parr
Catherine Parr: Henry's sixth and final wife, married in 1543. Catherine was a widow and a well-educated woman who acted as a mother figure to Henry's children. She outlived Henry and later remarried.
In conclusion, the king's desperate quest for political unification and a healthy male heir drove him to annul two marriages and have two wives beheaded. His chaotic love life caused an unstable succession, foreign policy implications and even led to the break with the Church of Rome.
