On the 16th December 1485, a little girl was born to the reigning Catholic monarchs of Castile and Aragon - the little girl was named Catalina.

She grew up to be one of the most famous women in English history.

Not only was she the youngest daughter of Isabel of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon, she was sister to Juana la Loca, she was also mother to Mary I and the first wife of Henry VIII…

Let’s talk about Catalina’s early years and her Spanish heritage that she brought to England…

Today it is my great pleasure talking to Emma Cahill Marrón, give her a round of applause!
