Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Where did Henry VII and Arthur of Wales first meet Catherine?

Answer: A tent

 Anxious to meet the Spanish Princess, the English King and his son sped off to meet her. Catherine had retired to her bedchamber in the tent and spoke to the king in Spanish. The King introduced his son to the princess and all Arthur did was cough a bit, and the next scene was Arthur's funeral.
2. Who plotted with her brother in Flanders against Catherine?

Answer: Dona Elvira

 Dona Elvira kept in the princess' ear that everyone including her own father were forgetting she was a royal princess of Spain. After Doctor de Puebla had an unsuccessful meeting with Henry VII, de Puebla then found out that Catherine was writing to her sister Queen Juana of Castile and her husband come to visit her. De Puebla then pointed out that Dona Elvira's brother was in Flanders plotting against Ferdinand of Aragon. Catherine tore up the letter and handed it to Dona Elvira.
3. Following Arthur's premature death, Catherine called herself "Princess Catherine of Aragon".

Answer: False

It was decided between King Henry VII of England and King Ferdinand of Aragon that Prince Henry of Wales and Princess Catherine would be married. Catherine then called herself "The Princess of Wales" and not "The Princess Dowager".
4. Catherine: "I would rather die than go back to ______ unmarried. I would rather die!" Fill in the blank.

Answer: Spain

 As Henry VII lay dying, Catherine was despairing over what do. Maria de Salinas said, "Don't worry about us Your Highness. If we have no dowries then the Englishmen must take us without." Catherine said she would rather die than go back to Spain unmarried.
5. Who informed Catherine that the Henry VIII was coming to meet her?

Answer: Earl of Surrey

 Catherine was reading in the hall when the Earl of Surrey came to inform her that the King was coming. She had a few seconds to comprehend his message before the King came.
6. Who had expressed that Henry VIII and Catherine should be married?

Answer: Henry VII

 According to Henry VIII, his father expressed a dying wish that he and Catherine should be married. Henry VIII: "And Catherine... dearest Catherine, it is my wish too."
7. Henry VIII quoted Levictus in saying that his marriage to Catherine was unlawful.

Answer: True

Henry VIII said, "And if a man should take his wife as an unclean thing, they should be childless. Now that we know the truth, we must separate."
8. Henry VIII: "I can bring a hundred ______ men to prove that you are not my wife!" Fill in the blank.

Answer: learned

 Catherine of Aragon replied, "Bring your hundred learned men! I can bring a thousand learned men from all over Europe to prove that I am you wife, I always have been your wife and I always will be!"
9. At the trial to test the validity of her marriage, Catherine made a speech and soon left. Who told her 'they' were calling for her?

Answer: Maria de Salinas

 Catherine made a passionate plea for her beloved husband to look to his conscious about whether she was a virgin or not on their wedding night. She then stood up and said she would submit to no other authority other than the Pope. She turned around and left the trial. Maria de Salinas Countess of Willoughby pleaded with her, "Majesty! Majesty, they're calling for you!"

Blooper alert: Catherine was on her knees before her husband and as she was speaking a boom mike was clearly seen at the bottom center. I don't think those things were around in the 1500's.
10. What did Catherine send to Henry just after her death?

Answer: A letter

 She had dictated a letter to be given to the King after her death. Henry was reading it silently and afterwards crumpled the letter. Reportedly Henry and Anne Boleyn dressed in yellow and had a party following word of Catherine's death.
