    Jan 30 2025

    When we think of Catherine of Aragon, we think of a pious and dignified queen—but did you know that, before she even married Henry VIII, she was at the centre of a royal scandal?

    - Her confessor, Fray Diego Fernández, became more than just her spiritual advisor. - His influence over her raised eyebrows, sparked gossip, and even angered kings. - Was Catherine blindly loyal, or was there more to their relationship than meets the eye?

    This is a fascinating and rarely told chapter in Catherine’s life—one that shaped her future in the treacherous world of Tudor politics.

    Listen now to uncover the full story!
