Tudor Times

On Nov. 14, 1501, Catalina, Princess of Aragon was married to Arthur, Prince of Wales and heir to the throne of England. The marriage seemed to be a success from the start, with each partner liking the other. However, sadly after only a few months of marriage Arthur was dead. Katherine found herself a widow and lived in poverty until the death of Henry VII and accession of Henry VIII who made her his first wife. Scandalous Women has done a nice write up about the couple and Katherine’s life as a widow here.
