It’s lovely knowing that Catherine of Aragon had such a good friend with her when she passed. Catherine of Aragon suffered so much in her last years.

[@johnnzboy]

Wonderful storytelling, it must have been no small consolation for Catherine of Aragon to have Maria de Salinas at her side in her final unhappy hours. A devoted friend indeed.

What a beautiful story, I'm so glad, that Catherine of aragon, had such a devoted friend ❤

[@ODDwayne1]

Salute to Maria. Who wouldn't treasure her friendship? How fortunate she was there when Queen Catherine died. Great story. Thank you.

Videos like this are some of my favorites! I love learning about the background players who may get a mention in regular history stories but are mostly left blank. Being able to understand them as people and their relationships with those around them is so interesting to learn about.

[@hteysko]

Thanks so much!

Excellent presentation!

Thank you heather, Maria was a good and true friend to Catherine. One can’t ask any more of life than true friendship 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

[@cindywest4343]

Excellent video thank you ❤

I had heard the name many times, but didn't really know much about her. She was certainly a brave and loyal lady, wasn't she? Truly amazing!

[@jilliangrieder2049]

Learned about her from the constant princess by Phillipa Gregory, respect her loyalty to be there for her death and risk Henry viii wrath since he was beaheading everyone!

Are there paintings of Catherine's wedding to Henry VIII and their Coronation?

[@helenorgarycrevonis2022]

I like your story telling, sadly today was not the case. You repeating same pharases, over and over again without supporting the assumption with specific examples. Strategic investments? I do not think Katherine of Aragon would understand that concept...let alone Maria. Katherine was poor after Arthur's death and did not pay her retainers, hence she repaid Maria with jewels on her wedding.

[@hteysko]

Well, I can't win them all, can I? Maybe you'll like Friday's video better.

[@Dee-mj3pu]

Catherine had to get support from her family in Spain because Henry VII was stingy and dragged out arrangements for Catherine & Henry VIII's Marriage.

[@Dee-mj3pu]

Catherine was raised to be a Queen. (Way above Henry's other women!) She understood strategy.

What? Wow. Well, I’ll be watching far superior presentation in the very near future. Cannot wait, cupcake! 🧁 Certainly hope you don’t disappoint. 😎
