Considering how young you were when you came to England, how much did you pattern yourself after Elizabeth of York in your marriage to Henry?
I think this is a valid question because the more I think of it, for the most part, until she was pushed to the wall by Henry, KOA was a quiet, docile, obedient wife, and Henry seems to have had affection and respect for her long after he fell out of romantic love with her. Do you find this valuable?

And I also ask because although KOA's mother, Queen Isabella, was a good wife to Ferdinand, I don't think she could ever have been called docile. She was, after all, Queen of Castile in her own right and refused to have her kingdom absorbed into Ferdinand's, or leave him as ruler over it upon her death. She maintained its separate identity. Do you find this valuable?

Well not entirely she had a lot of influence over him, he consulted her in almost everything on a politcal scale for years. Also, they definatly had their shar of arguments, the whole Elizabeth FitzWalter affair for example. Good Question!! Do you find this valuable?

I'd also ask about her feelings on her daughter's reign. How would she feel about her daughter being known as "Bloody Mary"? Do you find this valuable?

How did you manage to be so sweet, loving and forgiving toward Henry when he betrayed and humiliated you in private and in public? Do you find this valuable?

Were you consumed by guilt that your failure to bring forth a male heir with Henry led to the Reformation and the demise of the Cathoilic Church in England? 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
