The Queen’s Uncle: Sir William Parr, 1st Baron Parr of Horton
Sir William Parr, 1st Baron Parr of Horton (c. 1483 – 10 September 1546) was the son of Sir William Parr of Kendal and his wife Elizabeth Fitzhugh. His mother was a niece to Warwick, the Kingmaker and thus a cousin of Anne Neville, Duchess of Gloucester and Queen of England as the wife of Richard III.

As a wealthy widow, Maud Parr was expected to remarry in order to ensure that her young family had a male protector. Maud however, was an independent and spirited woman and completely dismissed this route, instead choosing to pursue her own court career, just as she had done during her marriage. Maud was held in high regard by Henry VIII’s first wife, Catherine of Aragon, and, in her widowhood, she secured a prestigious and lucrative position at court as one of the queen’s ladies. In October 1519 Maud was recorded as one of a privileged group of ladies granted a permanent room at court. She was listed again as a member of the court the following month and the next year was chosen to accompany the queen to Calais to attend the most spectacular event of Henry’s reign, the Field of the Cloth of Gold. Maud was also friendly with the king and, in 1530, made him a gift of a coat of Kendal cloth. Maud was still listed as having had lodgings at court in January 1526 and, with only five other ladies, including the king’s own sister, was given the honour and privilege of a permanent suite of rooms. Maud was rarely at home during the early years of her widowhood although she maintained her own separate establishment in which her children resided

have you seen that popular insta account that stans Mary I and COA and all they do is just bash Anne and Elizabeth??? and just blames Anne for Mary's treatment? I think you posted about her once here and that account is truly insane.
There are like, upwards of a dozen, but there is one that just leaves deranged (’over-glorified, overrated, overrhyped, overromanticized’), prosletyzing-vibe comments (no edits), despite having a locked account they comment on like everyyyything tagged #AB and Elizabeth to 'politely' remind their fans that they were both nasty, lying, amoral skanks, I think I've since muted them.

Yandere Gender bend Cathrine parr with young reader
Charles Parr.
He was born as the second child and first son of Thomas Parr and Maud Green (Lady Parr). He had a younger brother and a sister. Charles was eager to learn. He knew English, Italian and Latin languages. He had a talent for writing compositions. Charles was an attractive, lively and knowledgeable man. He always managed to step forward with his maturity. He is very good at hiding his tendencies. He will never express his anger and jealousy. He quietly dodges his enemies and rivals. He is very good at manipulation. He will impress you with his compositions and carefully selected gifts.
Most likely the reader is Charles' last wife or mistress. I think Charles will be able to cope with a young reader. He manages to be energetic enough to tire the reader. Charles manages to embarrass the reader with many of his comments. Charles is amused by the reader's inexperience because of his youth.

Catherine of Aragon(1485 - 1543).In 1501 Catherine of Aragon became the wife of Prince Arthur, but he died half a year later. In 1509 she married Henry VIII. Their married life was happy despite the fact that Catherine was 6 years older than Henry. She also often took an active part in the affairs of state. The marriage produced 6 children. The death of Prince William undermined Catherine's health and because of this she began to have frequent heart aches. She died in 1543 of heart disease.
Elizabeth(1510 - 1582). Queen of Spain and Empress of the Holy Roman Empire. Wife of Charles V. The marriage of Elizabeth and Charles was happy. They had 5 children: Joana, Henry V, Catherine, Inigo and Alexandra. She outlived not only her husband but also her sons. In 1560, her eldest son died of illness, and her youngest died while still a child. And in the same year she became regent of Spain under her one-year-old granddaughter Isabella. Her regency was characterized by an era of prosperity and tranquility. Elizabeth, who was well educated, patronized the arts and sciences. Her court was visited by prominent humanists. Elizabeth had a rich library and could play several musical instruments. She loved to write and read books. 3 years before her death, she handed over the rule of the country into the hands of Isabella, and herself withdrew from public affairs and devoted herself to rest and reading.
Henry IX(1511 - 1581). King of England. Husband of 1)Renée of France and 2)Magdalene of Austria. In 1527 he married Louis XII's daughter Renée. Their married life was happy. But in 1542 she was gone. Renée died in childbirth while giving birth to her 8th child. Henry was inconsolable he fell into depression and 3 years mourned his wife. He did not marry a second time until 10 years after her death. During his reign, England became a strong sea power, and the economy grew 2-fold. Under Henry IX, peace and prosperity reigned in the kingdom. In addition, the king paid great attention to the cultural enlightenment of his state.
He became the father of 12 children: Henry X, Edward, Catherine, Anne, William, Jasper, Mary and Margaret - children from his first marriage.
Magdalen, Ferdinand, Arthur and George from his second.
William(1513 - 1536). Duke of York. Husband of Catherine Parr and father of 2 children: Maud and William. William and Catherine's married life was happy, but not long. Henry VIII was against this marriage, as he looked for another bride. But after much persuasion of his wife and son agreed. Soon Catherine and William learned that they would soon become parents. In April 1536, he fell ill with smallpox and died within days, and in May he became the father of a daughter and a son. After her husband's death, Catherine did not marry again. There were many suitors for her hand, but she refused them and said that her heart belonged only to one William.
Edmund(1514 - 1588). Duke of Somerset. Husband of Dorothea of Denmark, father of 6 children: William, Catherine, Henry, Mark, Isabella and Christian. Edmund was not in love with his wife. The first years of their marriage the couple lived amicably and were attached to each other, and when misunderstandings began between them, they were of a financial nature. The duke did not like the excessive spending of his wife. Because of frequent quarrels, they began to distance themselves from each other. And after the birth of the last child Edmund finally turned away from his wife. Edmund, like his older sister, was a patron of culture and art.
Mary(1516 - 1570). Queen of Scots. Wife of James V. She was the favorite daughter of Henry VIII. At first the Scots did not want to recognize Mary as their queen, but later she quickly won the trust of the people. She also enjoyed the trust of her husband, who often left her as regent during his absence. The spouses were an example of family life, the king was never seen for public adultery. The marriage produced 5 children: Margaret, James VI, David, Robert and Catherine.
Isabella(1518 - 1585). Queen of Poland. Wife of Sigismund II and mother of 8 children: Bona, Sigismund III, Casimir, Jadwiga, Wladyslaw, Jagailo, Catherine and Stanislaw. Isabella was famous for her beauty, distinguished by her intelligence and great energy. But there was no happiness in her life. Isabella's marriage was not a happy one. The queen unrequitedly loved her husband, but the king preferred to lead a dissolute lifestyle. The king's mother feared that Isabella would influence her son and turned Sigismund against her. The king and queen had 8 children, but only one boy survived. Isabella tried to exert political influence on her son, but her attempts were unsuccessful. Because of her disagreement with her son, she returned to her homeland.

Королева безответно любила своего мужа, но король предпочитал вести разгульный образ жизни. Мать короля опасалась того, что Изабелла будет оказывать влияние на сына и настраивала Сигизмунда против неё. У короля и королевы было 8 детей, но выжил лишь один мальчик. Изабелла пыталась оказывать политическое влияние на своего сына, но её попытки остались без успешны. Из за разногласий с сыном она вернулась на Родину.

In 1485 she turned sixteen and was allowed to live with her husband, but was advised not to consumate the marriage until she was eighteen at least. Given the many wars, her husband wasn’t much at home and was always tired and she nursed his wounds and illnesses until in 1499 he declared his wish to be her husband. In 1500 she fell pregnant with her first son, Ambrose. The labour was stressful and difficult, and put off getting pregnant until she had fully recovered. In 1503 Lucie was born and fell pregnant eight times again, all ending up in miscarriage or stillborn. One only made it to three years old, young Henry, who died of the period’s illnesses.

They were married when she was 14 and in his marriage contract, he was not allowed to be alone with her in a room, but often came to visit her and joked together, and went on low-key dates with her ladies. From the end of the Wars of the Roses in 1486 to the many pretenders trying to invade England, John was often away and came back tired and wounded. He took few mistresses and with his wife’s knowledge. He appreciated that she wasn’t jealous and in repayment came back to her. In 1499 he expressed his wish to have an heir when she felt ready and in 1500 she fell pregnant with their firstborn, a son, Ambrose. The labour was difficult, and Jane was terrified of the ordeal, but in 1502 fell pregnant again and he supported her and though he was not allowed in the birthing chamber, he sent her food, water and goods to let her know that he wouldn’t leave her. They tried for more children, but all ended up in miscarriage or stillborn. One of them survived for a while, little Henry, who died at three years old. He doted on his son Ambrose, the very picture of his mother, and trained him to be the next baron.

Relationships
Significant Other/Love Interest: Edward Beaufort, Earl of Sudeley (until 1519) 
Tumblr media
Twelve years Lucie’s senior, he was betrothed to the twelve-year-old girl when he was 26 and patiently waited until her 18th birthday. In the meantime, he visited her in the company of her aunts and chatted about many things, and he also brought her gifts and wrote her beautiful poems, stating that she was the ‘fairest and most amiable of all maidens’ and the only kiss they’d have was on her hand and eventually the cheek. He ended up infatuated by her, but restrained himself out of respect for the baron, a good colleague at Parliament and court. When he heard she had disappeared, he was adamant to find her and looked for her for five years until he gave up, thinking her dead or eloped and married with another. He was heartbroken and refused to remarry until he turned 34, marrying another woman and having three children with her, his only daughter called Lucie as his long-dead first wife. 
Thane Greenaway ( @potionboy3​ ) 
Tumblr media
Lucie stumbled into the intriguing Mr. Greenaway on her final years in Hogwarts and soon she was drawn by his wicked wit. They soon established a friendship and became close friends, having a special connection. Being with him, in a way, healed her wounds from her previous husband, and slowly started to fall for him. However, his guardian, Luca Greenaway became intimidated of her wit, intelligence and experience and feared that she may foil his plans, so he first tried to difame her by accusing her of being a gold-digger, but that plan failed, so he arranged for her to be out of Thane’s life. This didn’t succeed, for her brother Ambrose, with the help of Ezra Greenaway, could prevent Luca’s Machiavellian plan from succeeding. Soon, she also established a friendship with Ezra as well, and later in life would trust him her secret. 
Thane, afraid of losing Lucie, soon contacted her and they reunited, their relationship stronger than ever, and declared their love. After the incident, Thane opened his eyes about Luca and began distrusting him and his intentions, listening more and more often to Lucie. With the help of Ezra once again, Luca was taken away and Thane took over the estate and family fortune of the Greenaway, with Lucie by his side. They went on to marry and have (X) children together. They lived a happy and fulfilling life, and Ezra wrote about Lucie’s adventures from the 16th century to her life by then, all in another name and fictionalising everything. The book was yet another success. 
Friends: Ezra Greenaway ( @potionboy3​ ) 
Tumblr media
Lucie had heard of the famous writer Ezra Greenaway and had read his books, but didn’t meet him formally until Luca had tried to be rid of her. Him, alongside her brother, had saved her from a fatal fate, and brought her to safety. The two of them got along well, both being verbose and mature for their ages and having had lost their first loves. They soon teamed up and found evidence against Luca, proving Ezra’s hunch that he indeed murdered Ezra’s father, as well as Thane’s. 
After bringing Luca down and she and Thane married, he was a close friend of the marriage and when she was on her late forties, she told Ezra that she was a time traveller, and he was soon intrigued by her story and wrote a book about her, though, per her request, she asked him not to reveal who she was and he instead made up a character based on Lucie and, after many thorough interviews and proof-reading, he published the book and it became a huge success. Ezra and Lucie remained good friends. 
Rivals: Luca Greenaway 
Tumblr media
Luca disliked Lucie from the start. He was intimidated of her wit, intelligence and maturity, and feared that she may stray Thane away from him, so he made it his goal to make both friends apart as much as he could. He always tried to be in the same room or sent spies to see if he could get any dirt on her, though he never found out of her time travelling thing. When Lucie advised Thane about the economic situation of the estate, he tried to make her look like a gold-digger, but Lucie’s wit and admirable way with words persuaded Thane that she meant well. 
Refusing to let go of his status, he sent his most trusted riders to kidnap Lucie and take her out of the country, as far as possible. However, this plan failed, for Lucie’s brother Ambrose and Ezra rescued her before she could step a foot on the boat and he was outraged when he saw her back into the country. 
He knew that Lucie and Ezra were plotting against him, and so, he tried to hide evidence of it. What was worse, it seemed that Lucie’s absence had made Thane’s feelings stronger than ever, and soon he was out of the boy’s favour. When he least expected, he was arrested by the Aurors and sent to prison, and Thane married Lucie. He never saw the light of the day again.  
Trivia
Lucie is an excellent example of a Rennaisance woman: she can sew, dance, converse, history, religion, play instruments, be a hostess, among other qualities of the era 
She is also a Catholic, for when she left in 1519, Henry VIII was still happily married to Queen Catherine of Aragon and England was still Catholic, thus making Lucie a Catholic herself 
When she learns about the Tudors she is at first appalled that a man had so many wives and their fates and the change from Roman Catholicism to Protestanism and after that Anglicanism. She refuses to change her faith for a man’s ill and sinful intentions to be rid of a good woman and have a male heir. 
She and Ambrose change their names to Victoria and Ismael King to not draw too much attention from them. 
Lucie is a Ravenclaw and Ambrose is a Gryffindor 
She hates the odour of the city and was horrified of trains and other vehicles 
She’s the one to struggle the most with changing into a new era and always tries to come back to 1519... to no avail 
She is the direct ancestress of Jasper Greenaway

BIOGRAPHY:
Kendal Castle was crumbling, or rather, it had crumbled. As the ancestral House of Parr, one would've thought someone would have paid greater attention to the wellbeing of a home that could've last a thousand years, for instead of being brought into the world beneath the roof of a seat that had long been held by their family since the time of the Caput baroniae, Alice was born amongst the city of London, Blackfrairs to be exact. The youngest of three, the only thing stammered between uneasy lips was the fact that shes was then owed a dowry by the behest of a father who had grown all too comfortable with cards at the Palaces of the English court. So, when wrapped in lavender scented linens, she was pushed into the arms of a wet nurse so both parents could return to their habits and pleasures.
Thomas Parr was a fine, intelligent mind - he had once been the principle to Lady Margaret Beaufort's school at Collyweston and had long since taken grand advantage of his intellect to pursue mathematics and theology before being risen to the role of Master of the Wards, Master of the Guards and Comptroller to the King. Maud Green was met on a similar playing field as a trusted member of the revolving ladies who waited upon Catherine of Aragon, with her own rooms to enjoy and great luxuries passed upon her by the kindness of the Queen. Their marriage was one of fine dining, riveting conversation and kind looks passed over the heads of their peers. First came their son, then a daughter, and then finally Alice.
Brought up to relish the mind and what could come from nourishing cunning, Alice had been wise from the start. For though their father died when, their mother used her connections to have herself and her children established in the rooms of Bridewell Palace, Blackfriars, so she could keep her proximity to the Queen and her offspring could continue their wellbeing beneath her quick gaze. Though, they only remained a year, for Alice at only five years of age, was found in the arms of her father's brother, William Parr, escorted alongside her sister towards Rye House, Hertfordshire, for their education and happiness.
Of course, it would've been foolish to live such a youthful childhood amongst the humdrum of an English Court, thereafter became the hotbed of fury concerning the dissolution of the marriage between the King and Queen. And though their mother, the ever faithful Lady Maud, remained by her Mistress' side in an act of complete loyalty to both the Pope and the safety of Catherine, Maud soon caught the sweating illness. Alice, who had grown to enjoy the great expanse of land nurtured by her Uncle, running alongside her siblings whilst cultivate a strong, unbreakable friendship with them both, soon learnt that they were no longer as safe as before, but rather orphans put to the mercy of their paternal Uncle.
Though, they were indeed luckier than most. With her brother the present Marquess of Northampton, the daughters of the late Thomas & Maud inherited their fair share of rare portraits, jewels and a fine dowry to secure a good match - but since their brother was still too young to understand what was needed for two young girls, they remained under the house of their Uncle, forever seemingly waiting to be returned to the brother, as was often foretold by their mother when sent stories though fine ink.
When Alice is called to court by the behest and control of her Uncle, she is seventeen. Pale, a fair-height and with the favourable red-hair worn by the King himself, she is quickly anointed as a beauty of Court to serve beneath Queen Anne Boleyn as a Lady in Waiting. Though, unlike perhaps many of her peers, the memory of her mother burns into her mind like a red-hot-poker, for too often it was declared that Boleyn was but a concubine, a woman unworthy of the place once warmed by a royal Princess of Aragon. With a stubborn nature, her unruliness once matched with a sincere need to get what she wanted, turns her beauty into something to be scorned - for whether it was the Queen, the other jealous ladies or deterred male courtiers, rumours well around her seventeen year old self that declare her a coquette, a liar and indeed a Pope sympathiser.
Of course, they weren't wrong.
Shunned, yet kept beneath the stern eye of the Queen and her court, by the late age of twenty-four, Alice is matched to the Viscount Beauchamp, the youngest brother to the late Seymours who had swiftly been executed for treason against the crown - a family whom Alice had kept at arm's length for both her own survival and in the hope of side-stepping their eventual demise. It was by the puppeteer hand of her Uncle, that the marriage was made, and though Alice found herself rather repelled with a marriage to a man who had not saved his own family, she is forced to go along with it - mostly, in some hope to save her reputation and head, which lingers upon the chopping block for her constant letters sent to the Lady Mary, a friendship nourished by her mother's own to Mary's mother.
But what else is there to say? For that is the biography of Alice Parr, and this is now the re-telling of Alice Seymour. Still, shunned by the noble ladies in fear of catching her reputation (which, though muted by her marriage is still questioned by the flicker of her eyelashes), Alice becomes a mother. Arthur is born, and beloved. But a maternal devotion does little to a boy meant to become his father's son, and before she returns to court there are already rumours that he is not of his father's loins but of some other courtier who had fallen for her lustful woes - even, by the gossip of chambermaids, the Prince William has found it hard to look yonder.
In an effort to secure her son's wellbeing, she begins to evoke her parents' intellect and spirit by renewing the works set upon the Seymour home of Wulfhall, which had fallen into disrepair after the fall of the late Edward, Thomas and Jane Seymour, before becoming a mother once more to a daughter, little Catherine, named after the Queen in a coy act of subterfuge.
Now, she returns to court again as a Viscountess. And, hey, if she survives this season, then there's no end to her appetite.

Day 6 of learning to draw people. Here is the 6th and last wife of Henry VIII, Catherine Parr. Catherine's mother, Maude Green was one of the ladies in waiting to Henry's 1st wife, Catherine of Aragon, and was named after the Spanish Queen, who was her godmother. Catherine was a unique woman for her time. She was an author, twice published, and also twice widowed when she married Henry, but she had her heart set on another man, but she couldn't exactly say no to the King, but they did have a good relationship with Henry, even though they did have one hiccup with the topic of religion, because she was a staunch Protestant, but she talked her way out of being arrested, insisting that she wanted to hear Henry's opinion on the matter. She serves as a nurse companion for the aging King, and shortly before he died, she talked him into reconciliation with his daughters, Mary and Elizabeth and restored them to the succession, after being deemed illegitimate, and was especially close to the Princess Elizabeth. Shortly after Henry's death, she finally married the man she originally loved, Thomas Seymour, the late Queen Jane Seymour's brother, but he broke her heart when he tried to seduce Princess Elizabeth, who was 14 at the time. I feel for Catherine because she had 3 previous marriages, but the one that she genuinely loved, ended up not being true to her. So far, the first week into the New Year, I decided on the 6 wives of the infamous King Henry VIII, to kick off learning how to draw people. These were only a few drafts, as I honestly feel like they look better that way, I will at some point turn them into paintings. After this, whenever I have another sketch ready, I will share it on here and save it to my portfolio. Thank you guys for the feedback, I appreciate it! #catherineparr #tudordynasty #henryviii #drawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CnFqMyAu2mZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Anne Parr was born around 1514 to Sir Thomas Parr and his wife, Maud Green. She was the youngest child of Thomas and Maud.
Sir Thomas died of the sweating sickness in 1517, leaving Maud, only twenty-two years old, to fend for her three very young children. Maud decided to not remarry, so that she might retain her wealth left to her from her husband, and decided to devote her attention to her children. Maud Parr was a lady in waiting to Catalina of Aragon.
As the Parr children came of age, their mother made designs for them to marry well. William was the first, when he married Anne Bourchier in 1526. Anne was placed in Catalina of Aragon's household two years later as a lady-in-waiting. Anne's sister, Catherine, was married off to Baron Borough in 1529. That same year, their mother, Maud, died, and Anne became a ward of King Henry VIII.
After Henry's divorce from Catalina of Aragon and subsequent marriage to Anne Boleyn, the teenage Anne Parr remained in the King's household as a lady-in-waiting to the new Queen. Anne Parr remained as a lady-in-waiting to each of Henry VIII's wives, and is one of the few people to have been lady-in-waiting to all six.
By 1537, as 'Mrs Parr', Anne had become one of Jane Seymour's maidens. She was barely sixteen, sweet and, thanks to her mother's foresight, eminently marriageable. As we have seen, her father had left her a substantial marriage portion, to which her mother's will added 400 marks in plate and a third share of her jewels. The whole fortune, Lady Parr had directed, was to be securely chested up 'in coffers locked with divers locks, whereof every one of them my executors and my ... daughter Anne to have every of them a key'. 'And there', Lady Parr's will continued, 'it to remain till it ought to be delivered unto her' on her marriage.As Lady Herbert, she was keeper of the Queen’s jewels to Catherine Howard, although she left court briefly to give birth to her first child, Henry, ABT 1540. She was back at court in time to attend the disgraced Queen at Syon House and in the Tower. When her sister Catherine became Henry VIII’s sixth Queen in 1543, Anne returned to court. John Dudley, who was now Lord Admiral and Viscount Lisle, wrote to William Parr from Greenwich on 20 Jun: 'but that my Lady Latimer, your sister, and Mrs Herbert be both here at Court with my Lady Mary's Grace and my Lady Elizabeth'.Anne, along with Catherine Willoughby and Anne Stanhope were part of the Queen Catherine's inner circle, and they were all Protestants. After Anne Askew, a Protestant was arrested, those who opposed Queen Catherine tried to gain a confession from Askew that the Queen, her sister, and the other women were Protestants. Askew refused to name any names, even under the pain of torture; still, warrants for the arrest of the Parr sisters and the other two were sent out. Gardiner and his new ally Wriothesley got Henry's agreement to a coup against the Queen. Her leading women, Ladies Herbert, Lane and Tyrwhitt, would be arrested; their illegal books seized as evidence; and the Queen herself sent 'by barge' to the Tower. The Queen, however, warned of what awaited him, apologized to Henry. Quickly reconciled, and when Wriothesley arrived with forty yeomen of the guard at his back and an arrest warrant from the Queen in her pocket, was greeted with a barrage of real abuse and sent packing with his tail between his legs.Anne and her husband used Baynard’s Castle as their London residence. For the birth of her second son Edward, Anne's sister loaned her the manor of Hanworth in Middlesex for her lying in. After the birth, Anne visited Lady Hertford, who had also just given birth, at Syon House near Richmond. In Aug, the Queen sent a barge to bring Anne by river from Syon to Westminster. A girl was the hird child of William and Anne, named Anne. After Henry VIII's death, when the Queen dowager's household was at Chelsea, both Anne and her son Edward were part of the household there. At the time of her death, Anne Parr was one of Princess Mary’s ladies. 
In 1551, William Herbert was created Earl of Pembroke. Anne died quite unexpectedly at Baynard's Castle and was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral next to the tomb of John of Gaunt. Her memorial there reads: "a most faithful wife, a woman of the greatest piety and discretion".

Do you think Katherine collected any memories about the queen whom she was named after? If so, which would you speculate that marked her character the most?
Honestly, I am unsure.
Catherine Parr was born at court, however not much is known about her in her early years so I am unable to say how much interaction she had with her namesake and godmother, who her mother was a close friend and lady-in-waiting to. She was based in Lincolnshire with her first husband Edward Burgh(married 1529 - 1533) during the height of the King's great matter, so I am unable to say who she supported at this stage - logically I would assume she supported her mother's friend as she was not a known reformer in these years. During Catherine's second marriage with John Neville (married 1534 - 1543), which she was based in North Yorkshire it was known that John was a supporter of the ousted Queen and logically Catherine would have supported this view as his wife. Again, I am unsure how much interaction she had with her namesake probably only seeing her now and then at court when doing the occasional visit. I think she would have had a fondness of Katherine from memories of her mother Maud and how kind a mistress and friend she was to her.
As far as what Catherine inherited from Katherine of Aragon, I would say her education. Katherine of Aragon was a huge supporter of educating women in Humanist education, this included reading literary texts, comprehensive writing, classics and languages and also included the traditional education of needlework and house managing. From what we can see Maud Parr- a widow at the time of Catherine's formative years - adopted this view and educated both Catherine and her sister Anne in these values, something that did not require Catherine to attend court/s abroad to finish her education (not saying this in a negative light to other Queen's and it may have expanded her knowledge even more). At the time of her Queenship, Catherine was a very academic and informed member of the court and dare I say went toe to toe with her husband intellectually when he had not had that in a wife for some time.
In a way she gained the respect and friendship of Mary because of their mothers' relationships with each other, I am unsure if this will be counted as inherited though.
Catherine would have also inherited some of Katherine's jewels and maybe some of her clothing and accessories as a part of the Queen's wardrobe upon her marriage to the King.
Thanks for the ask and letting me chat again about one of my favourites.
