Katharine Parr was the sixth and last wife of King Henry VIII, destined to outlive the mercurial ruler. She was already twice-widowed and childless when they wed in 1543; she was also in love with Thomas Seymour, the brother of Henry's third queen Jane. But the king's will was law and Katharine bowed to his demands with grace. She was an admirable wife to Henry and a loving stepmother to his two youngest children, Elizabeth and Edward. She was also the most intellectual of Henry's wives, caught up in the turbulent religious climate of the times. And it was this passionate interest in theology which nearly ended her life, for the king was old and sickly but still capable of destroying those closest to him. Katharine saved herself and earned Henry's respect enough to be appointed Regent of England during his military campaign in Boulogne. Upon his death in 1547, she married Seymour with indecent haste, the only one of four husbands she had chosen herself. Her greatest achievement was the popularity of her devotional works; they were 16th century bestsellers and capture Katharine's complex and abiding piety.

Katherine married Edward de Burgh 2nd Baron Borough [14639] [MRIN: 7000] about 1529. (Edward de Burgh 2nd Baron Borough [14639] died before Apr 1533.)

Katherine next married Henry VIII Tudor King of England [13222] [MRIN: 8694], son of Henry VII Tudor King of England [2134] [9CND-QGL] and Elizabeth of York Plantagenet Queen of England [3105] [9HHT-713], on 12 Jul 1543 in Hampton Court Palace, Richmond, England.

(Thomas of Sudeley Seymour Baron Seymour of Sudeley [29653] was born about 1508, died on 10 Mar 1549 in Tower Hill, London, England and was buried in Tower of London, London, England.). The cause of his death was executed.
