Catherine had no desire to marry Henry and she attempted, as politely as she could, to make it clear that his attentions were unwelcome. Henry always responded more affectionately to women who first refused his advances and Catherine played unwittingly into his hands, increasing his desire to win her as a bride. (...) She was still determined not to marry Henry if she could find some way to avoid it.
By early 1543, Henry had a fearsome reputation as a husband, with two divorces and two wives beheaded behind him, as well as a wife who was widely rumoured to have died in childbirth due to lack of care taken by her attendants. The date of Henry’s proposal to Catherine is nowhere recorded, but it would have been in the spring, at some point after Lord Latimer’s death. Catherine was expecting the proposal and she took the brave step to voice her concerns, responding boldly to Henry when he asked her to become his wife that ‘it were better to be your mistress than your wife’. Under ordinary circumstances, this would have been a provocation to the king and Catherine could well have found her life in danger. However, for Henry, excited as he was by his choice of a bride, it was merely evidence of Catherine’s modesty in suggesting that she were not good enough to be his queen. Henry was convinced that Catherine was perfect for him, and increased the pressure placed upon her, saying, once again ‘Lady Latimer, I wish you to be my wife’. With Thomas Seymour’s departure and Henry’s dismissal of her objections, Catherine knew that she had no choice but to comply, falling to her knees before answering: ‘Your Majesty is my master, I have but to obey you.’
