About the Item
Story illustration for part 2 of “The Queen’s Grace” by Jan Westcott for the Ladies’ Home Journal, published April 1959, page 64.
Catherine Parr holds a significant place in history as the last of King Henry VIII's six wives, serving as Queen of England and Ireland from 1543 until his death in 1547. She was the final Tudor queen consort and notably the most-married English queen with four husbands.
While her role as queen is historically significant, it's merely one aspect of her compelling life. As was customary in the 16th century, noble marriages were primarily strategic, designed to consolidate family power, wealth, and lineage. Catherine, despite being an independent, well-educated, and adventurous woman, adhered to this tradition. She entered her first marriage at barely sixteen to a much older man after her father's death, faithfully fulfilling her duties by overseeing thriving households and lovingly raising her numerous stepchildren.
Jan Westcott's fictional account of Catherine Parr’s life suggests that beneath a dutiful exterior was a deeply passionate woman. Westcott's narrative centers on Catherine's tumultuous and unpredictable relationship with Thomas Seymour, the forceful and reckless brother of Henry VIII's third wife, Jane Seymour. Their connection was profound, a love destined to be realized only after Catherine had been widowed three times. As Westcott enticingly describes, Seymour was "a man who spelled danger for any woman foolish enough to lose her head over him. And Katryn knew it."
In the illustrated scene, Catherine Parr, recently married to Lord Borough, is in her bedchamber with her maid. An insistent tapping at the window startles them. Despite her maid’s dismay, Catherine opens the casement window to reveal Thomas Seymour, who climbs into the room. Furious at his audacious entry; she whispers, “‘How dare you!’ I never gave you a moment’s notion you could come here.”
