Katherine Parr Could Have Been The Next Victim of Henry VIII
Katherine came very close to meeting the same fate as Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard. Henry VIII conveniently found out about Katherine’s banned books. Katherine had a heads-up about a warrant for her arrest. She understandably broke down (it’s not like a rage-filled Henry VIII was known for his mercy).
She quickly thought her way out of her mess. Henry met with Katherine to let her know she was overstepping her expected boundaries when it came to religious discourse. She appealed to his ego, saying she was arguing with his stance only to learn from him, and to help take his mind off of his health and other troubles. It worked. He said they were once again perfect friends, and revoked Katherine’s warrant.
