#OnThisDay in #history - in 1543, Kateryn Parr married Henry VIII, becoming his last wife (aka 'survived'). Named for his 1st wife (Katherine of Aragon), Kateryn was a fierce intellectual who, like her namesake, held her own as England's regent when Henry fought France in 1544 (just as KoA did in 1513). She also was a published author whose works are still included in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer today. Their marriage ended in 1547 with his death. #OTD#histodons@royalhistory@histodons
