Excellent work as usual.
Both Catherine and her older sister Joanna took after their mother Isabella I of Castile, who had fair skin and reddish hair. They must have been quite striking women.
It's a pity, though, that her later years were made so miserable through no fault of her own; in fact, Henry VIII cruelly forbade Catherine and Mary from seeing each other for many years, despite Mary's pleas to him for mercy. What a sad end to an intelligent, well-educated and capable woman.
So beautiful protrait! Catherine of Aragon was a amazing woman, Queen, warrior, mother.
She was beautiful inside and out and she loved her country and daughter. With all that was going on, a lesser lady would have encouraged the angry mobs to fight against King Henry but she had a strong will , moral compass and dignity that wouldn’t allow that . I admire her
I feel the very same
Pobre Catalina de Aragón y Castilla. Mujer leal, inteligente y humana. Cuánto daño hizo a su familia el loco de Henry VIII.
Completely agree. I love Catherine so much and I'm glad someone so virtuous and strong is my idol instead of some lesser person
Katherine is my favorite of all his wives. I love her so much. All his wives deserved better than Henry though.
@@bethanne1221 I absolutely agree. The Spanish princess was so unlucky: first of all, she became a widow few months after having been married to Prince Arthur, the then prince of Wales. Her father in law was so mean to her. He kept Catherine in poverty. She had to sell some jewelry at some point in order to keep her household going. Can you imagine, the daughter of the most important and powerful and rich Royal Family in her day, and she struggles to keep her household going. After 7 long years she finally married the new dashing teenage king, handsome Henry. And such happiness turned to tragedy everytime she miscarried or had a stillborn child, her only living offspring being the Princess Mary. And then, Henry DISCARDS her like a hot rotten potato, even compelling her to give her jewelry away to her rival, Anna Boleyn. In those last miserable years Henry kept mother and daughter away from each other. What a monster. I do hope Catherine is now in Heaven as she deserves, while her usurper, the scheming, headless Boleyn, is in the depths of Hell, and it befits her
She had so much potential but such a tragic life.
Like mother like daughter! Mary looks a lot like her mom. Stunning work!
A contemporary who knew all six of Henry's wives described Catherine in her prime as the most beautiful of them all.
The description does not sound very beautiful. Plump... Short... Round face. Blue eyes. Long red gold hair
@@dbedazzling1 , tastes differ, I suppose. I have red gold hair and blue eyes and and some people think I am beautiful.
@@ladyv5655 lol that was not the entire description I detailed. That was part
@@dbedazzling1 Back then, having extra weight was attractive, it was a sign you were well off & are well.
So glad that this amazing Queen finally gets some recognition and appreciation
She now rests in the Cathedral in my home city of Peterborough. Where my old school once stood is a new school named Queen Catherine Academy.
All spanish visitors in your country should pay honors to her and her memory visiting and praying at her tomb in the cathedral of your town. That's what I'll certainly do when I visit your country. And of course, deposite a rose as homage to her unfearly mistreated heart.
Dios te guarde, mi señora, que los buenos españoles jamás os olvidaremos, y guardaremos su memoria en nuestros corazones.
Even by today's standards she would be considered beautiful. Thank you for such lovely work.
Yes, that's true
She was a strong willed Queen that stood up to Henry the Moron. I like her.
True
I like her too.
She was a remarkable woman. Thank you for showing us her likeness. Well done.
Lovely as always. I do wish you shown her with redder hair and blue eyes like she’s said to have.
Thank You 😃 What a sweet face she has. I can see her as the queen that the people of Peterborough loved so much (I believe that Kimbolten where Henry exiled her to is in that area) that they gave her the tomb that Henry denied her.
I agree with you 😍 although it wasn't just people in Peterborough that loved her dearly. She was extremely popular with most of the English people
Katherine is buried in the Peterborough Cathedral. .
@@flamelily2086 Yes. It's absolutely lovely. I've visited it a few times
Would love to see Elizabeth Woodville and Elizabeth of York
Same here!
Definitely!!!
Oh yes, especially Elisabeth of York would be great. After all I read she was an intelligent but also kind hearted woman.
Thomas more once said no woman could hold a flame to Catherine in her youth. He specified her youth but not pre marriage, but just she in her ‘prime’
Yes, that's true!
I don't wanna question her good looks but I believe his judgment was also based on her devotion and straight behaviour. Usually non devoted women would be describe as ugly at that period.
The reconstructions here are excellent. Such a pity she became a victim of that devil.
And sadly, so did many more
@@panagiotisconstantinou indeed
Yes..sadly.
Their marriage was amicable and quite loving, she was unable to produce an heir, she was overwieght, in her 40s and had already gone through six births, all but one of them still births or leading to infant death. Safe to say she wasn't going to give Henry the heir his dynasty needed.
@@triplehmafia6556 but as an absolutist monarch, I believed he could have found another way to dispose of her without having her beheaded. He got rid of the Catholic church, he always found a way to get what he wanted. But because he couldn't get his divorce from her granted by the Catholic church. He got it another way ( illegal, not sanctioned by canon law). I still maintain my stance concerning him. He's a devil. What he did to Anne Boleyn e.g. (the trumped up charges) and others attest to that.
I like this one I think Catherine was a person who got undeservedly screwed over by her stupid greedy husband and deserves more attention.
Yes! Of alllll the people in history, Henry VIII is a man I most despise.
@@thefrogsscalp777 I'm not a fan lol
YES
@Silver & Cold And Henry VIII wasn't stupid enough to even think of beheading her, with her being from a powerful Spanish dynasty; it would start a war, and poverty-stricken England would lose. He had no problem lopping off the head of an English wife though. What a scumbag.
@aurelie David I agree 1000%
This is the closest image of Catherine of Aragon that I have seen in my mind. Great work.
Could do one of Queen Isabela of Castille and Ferdinand of Aragon, Catherine's parents pretty please?
Yes this would be awesome
Please
Please
Yes, please!!
I do agree
Would you consider Eleanor of Aquitaine? Contemporaries say she was stunning. Also you could follow up with Isabella and Ferdinand, Catherine’s parents. Keep up the great work!
Ooh! Elinor of Aquitaine!!
Yes!
Leonor de Aquitania no fue contemporánea de Catalina de Aragón. Leonor vivió en el siglo y Catalina en el siglo XVI.
Alienor d'Aquitaine ❤👍
@@mariajosegonzalezmediano3094 Nadie está diciendo que fuesen contemporáneas. (Entre paréntesis, puedes editar el video para poner el "XII" que se te escapó.)
I don't know how accurate any of this is but she's absolutely stunning!
I love Tudor history, thank you for this amazing work.
Είμαι χαρούμενη που βλέπω τόσους πολλούς ανθρώπους να σας παρακολουθούν. Γιατί από την αρχή πίστευα ότι κάνετε εξαιρετική δουλειά. Σαν αυτή εδώ. Πολλές επιτυχίες σας εύχομαι.
Catherine of Aragon was such a devoted queen to her country, husband, and God yet she was swept away because of greed 😔
Was swept away because she passed childbearing age witout providing a male heir to the throne for the king - Henry the eight
@@kristinlanorvegienne7778 and it wasn't her fault either. It was Henry who couldn't produce a Y chromosome.
He did produce a Y cromosome with Jane Seymour in 1536 or.?
@@kristinlanorvegienne7778 right. And there was the bastard duke Henry Fitzroy. Just saying it wasn't Catherine's fault she didn't bear a son. Henry was low on Y chromosome
Ok. It is an ever fascinating story with the Tudors. Dangerous to be a noble woman back in those times. And someone that the king favoured. Healthier for one’s neck to just be a mistress.
Never clicked so fast!! Your work is always so beautiful! Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
She had more royal blood than any of the Tudors.
That's true
Thank you so much! I've been waiting for this! I hate how CoA is overshadowed by Anne Boleyn (as well as the rest of his wives).
@Paul Anderson I'm sorry?
I agree with you. Catherine is my favorite by far and she deserves much more recognition
@@student05-bdes52 She's mine too. I really wish they would portray her more accurately appearance wise and also during her younger years. Especially when she was married to Prince Arthur (The Spanish Princess did a terrible job)
@@nadiyah7071 me too! I hate how most movies and shows only focus on the last few years of her marriage with Henry.
Yes, the Spanish princess was awful, and they ruined her personality. So many inaccuracies.
Have you watched The Six Wives of Henry viii which released in 1970? It's a great movie and they showed her younger years and the time that she and Henry were happy and in love. They got her appearance right too.
Especially since Henry’s marriage to Catherine was twice as long as the rest of his marriages combined.
Interestingly, Catherine had claim to the English throne nearly as strong (maybe stronger) as Henry's as she could trace her ancestry back to John of Gaunt. The succession of English kings (Plantagenet line) from John forward was pretty direct until the Tudors stepped in, some say as usurpers. The historical argument continues and is far from settled, but Catherine's place in the royal lineage is pretty much unquestioned.
She was good looking and intelligent look on her. It's just too bad years of stress took a toll on her. She didn't deserve this treatment!!
Next time do her parents and sister juana la loca
It's like coming face to face with Catherine. She was actually a lot better looking than Anne Boleyn in my opinion.
Yeah I agree many men cheat though not because their wife isnt good enough but because they are getting older or boredom or because they are greedy horn dogs .
@@lagatita1623 Well, Henry needed a male heir to secure his dynasty and Catherine was past child bearing. The problem with having a female heir to the throne was that they believed that once a woman married, she obeyed her husband who was the head of the household. Their reasoning was that if a woman was not head of the household, how could she be head of the country? Elizabeth I got round this by remaining single but having Robert Dudley as her secret lover. If Catherine had borne Henry a son it is doubtful that he would have left her. Plus Catherine had lost her looks as she got older due to the many pregnancies she had endured. I believe that out of all his wives, Catherine had the best personality. I watched an afterlife interview on Henry on a spiritual video. He was asked which wife he loved most and he said it was Catherine.
@@susangavaghan well it didnt work out for him anyway he had no surviving sons...
@@lagatita1623 Yes, the irony of that. I think he was the first king of England to be in that position - desperate for a son. It was also ironic that Catherine was a very sane and highly intelligent woman but unfortunately suffered miscarriages and her one child, a daughter, survived. Yet her sister Joanna, who was mentally unstable, had countless children. When Henry's son Edward was dying, for the first time all the contenders for the throne were female. He had no alternative to make Jane Grey his successor to the throne because she shared his religious beliefs. Of course she was later deposed by Mary.
@@susangavaghan jane Grey was another victim. So many victims of circumstances.
Katherine was a beauty and am sure Henry did love her. They were married the longest and he had a lot of respect for her, as he left her in charge of England whilst he was in France. When their son, Henry died (believe he was a couple of months old) he left her be, which was considered a kindness.
If they had a surviving male heir, am sure they would have survived, but it wouldn’t have stopped his roaming eyes.
Also, since he believed Jane Seymour, wife no3, had his only surviving heir, Edward, (unaware he died at 13?14? Can’t remember at the top of my head) after Henry died, he chose to be buried with her, so was considered the favourite.
My all-time favorite Queen ❤ I've been wanting to see her 'real' face for a while, thank you for this 😄
A beautiful woman...
Catherine of Aragon was a very religious Queen. She was married to Henry the 8th for 23 yrs. They say that at the beginning the were happy and had a good marriage, but his need and obsession to produce a male heir was their downfall. Even though she was a talented fighter and could've raised an army herself, her devotion and love for her King wouldn't let her. She was truly a beautiful Queen. It was so heartbreaking to have her exiled to a cold damp castle without any visitors or even enough funds to maintain a proper household for a Queen of her status.
She is so beautiful! Lovely work u have!
Interesting representation. Catherine of Aragon was very pretty. Good video!
I feel so sorry for Catherine and Mary all the time! I keep thinking that if Catherine's sons (or at least two of them) had survived, nobody (least of all Henry) would have dared to cast her and Mary aside.
I keep thinking "what if" and "if only" for Catherine and Mary...!
Catherine was famously beautiful and it shows!
I agree with you. I really wish her first son had survived. I don't think Henry would have cast her aside in that case. He did love her very much before she kept losing her children.
Great job! Smart, beautiful and strong lady.
Could you please one day work on the portraits of famous composers?
I would love to see Chopin, Mozart, Bach 😊
YES!!! That's a great idea!
I requested this not too long ago. Thank you for making it! Katharine’s sister, Juana La Loca, or Joanna the Crazy would be a good one too!
Your work is amazing. You bring otherwise flat and disproportioned paintings to life. We are able to see them as humans with 3 dimensional features. I enjoy watching.
She was so beautiful. Unfortunately, the contempt and humiliation of the king was too much.
And so unfair, to such a faithful wife
Yes, she was stunning
gracias Panagiotis tu canal es una gran aporte a la cultura gran trabajo
Absolutely fantastic. The last reconstruction is how I imagine her. Please can you now do a young Henry so we can see what they would have liked like together. Thanks
Nice girl with a proud Spanish soul.
All the Trastamaras had clear eyes and hairs, maybe for their grand grand mother Catherine of Lancaster, a Plantagenet princess😲
Not necessarily because of Catherine of Lancaster. There are lots of fair-skinned fair-haired people in Spain. But Anglos tend to imagine everyone from a Mediterranean country as dark, and so this queen is always portrayed as dark-haired on the screen, lol.
Don Enrique el Doliente, Enrique III of Castile, was also blond and blue eyed. I don know why it is so dificult to you to accept that there are lots of blond or blue eyed spaniards.
@@Neldidellavittoria and why you takes that as an insult? Why being more tanned and with dark hair if for you a problem? Why are you no proud of that? 80%of the population of Spain has dark hair and not too white skin and the tone of the skinny depends from each regions ,could be very pale, white to ,brown and in between.
@@hugemuscletube8582 80% of spaniards have dark skin? Ha ha ha.
While Elizabeth I is the English Queen I like the best, Katherine is my favorite of the Queen consorts. Despite everything he did to her, and Mary, the last sentence of her last letter always stayed with me.
“Lastly, I make this vow, that mine eyes desire you above all things.
Katherine the Quene. “ 😔
This was sooo satisfying. For so long it's driven me nuts that she was looking down and I couldn't get a good sense of her without being able so see her eyes. I just wanted her to "look up". And you made that happen for me, and look straight on. I feel such a sense of relief and completion now. lol Thank you.
Particularly the first two you made stunningly similar to the paintings. Thankyou. Always enjoyable!!
I love this Tudors series! But I really hate how the paintings inflate the size of the headdresses to emphasize their richness. It makes it difficult to translate it to other mediums.
¡Felicitaciones! Las reconstrucciones faciales, concuerdan con los testimonios de la época de que Catalina era una mujer hermosa, pelirroja y con mirada inteligente.
I agree with you
Katherine of Aragon was a warrior princess ♡
Amazing!!!!!!! Your work really brings Catherine to life!!!! I’d love to see Catherine de Valois and Henry V, and Owen Tudor
I really enjoyed these pictures and the period music is fabulous. Please do pieces on Catherine's sister, Juana and her parents, Ferdinand and Isabella.
That's great work, I really enjoyed watching her image age. I imagine that's pretty close to what she did look like.
Absolutely beautiful. Fun fact , that stunning 2nd photo of her, she isn't actually wearing an enormous black hat. After her death they painted a gold ring around her head. So it makes it look like it's part of her headpiece. I thought that was so interesting! Very beautiful work!
They were strict Catholics they wouldn't paint a halo around her head.
At the cathedral where her tomb is located you can see her portrait clearly and she have an halo behind her. She was wearing a french hood.
How wonderful! I am amazed by how lifelike she looks. There is such a strong resemblance between her and your rendition of Mary I! Thank you for this. A small note: The headdresses were called "hoods," not "hats."
As I recently heard, his grave has been, for a long time, a sanctuary visited by some of the Spanish expatriates in England as well as by the English Catholic community. In the end, her memory has been honored solemnly but without fuss.
Ella fue la Reina. Reina de Reinas. Injusto como terminó. Pobrecita!
Perdone, pero la reina de reinas fue su madre.Tuvo que ser terrible para ella verse repudiada por su marido.
I am just amazed that you don’t have way more subscribers! What a beautiful piece of work! It’s so much fun to see you bring to life so many interesting people in history!! What a wonderful community you have made for exploring history!
Keep up the good work! Blessings to you and your family 💜
Have always loved your work, but this was extra good! The way you interspersed the pictures & narrative gave plenty of time to read & appreciate both! Do lots more!💖
Another awesome video! You should do one on Queen Charlotte or Shakespeare next.
Thank you, I’ve always admired her 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Love the music.
It's a gross understatement to say that Henry was a real scoundrel.
Would love to see what Empress Elizabeth "Sisi" of Austria really looked to be. Thank you!!!
Agree!
Beautiful woman, I love a Queen.❤❤
Nice work.
She looks a completely different person at the end to how she looked at the start of the video
I'm 62 and I look a completely different person from how I would've looked "at the start of my video". It's called life. Lol.
The first portrait of the video may not even be her. It's unsure whether it's her or her sister juana. And the last portrait of the video isn't accurate, because it wasn't drawn from life. It was created one or two centuries after her death. The middle portrait is the most accurate version of how she looked.
You have made my heart smile.........again!...........No!!!!!........you have made my heart SING!! 💕💕💕💕💕 love, again, from Australia ❤️
Interesting and worthwhile video.
Thank you for your dedication to these great historical characters. I always look forward to viewing your fantastic work. Much appreciated 🙏
Can you do one about Philip II and his sons?
Really bringing her to life absolutely wonderful
Bellissime le note del grande genio maestro Angelo Branduardi!
When she was younger she looked like Jessica Biel.
Excellent👏❤
Love these puts history and faces more in perspective. Old drawings made they look unreal, stoic and ugly when n they weren't. More please
The true queen of England, royal blood pouring out of her veins .to good for the tyrant she married.
Yes!!!!
I swear . .my daughter could be her twin (in the younger recreations- with the black halo).I feel the depiction at 4:42 to probably be quite accurate,you have that slight touch of "Spanish " beauty to get eyes that looks quite right!
Absolutely terrifying, yet genuinely fascinating!
If I ask you to search for a king of Numidian dynnastie ,massinisa ,Jugurtha. I from Algeria i will be so happy to see her real face .
Πολύ ωραία...συνεχίστε έτσι καλή επιτυχία σε όλα.
Great job yet again! Your Philip II was perfect, could you please do also other Habsburg? Charles V, Maximilian....up to Maria Theresa, Joseph II, Leopold II...
Most definitely, as I'm very interested in the way they looked!
@@panagiotisconstantinou thank you so much!
These videos are fascinating and really impressive. The problem, of course, is that we cannot know whether the original paintings were good likenesses of the people they were portraying. There would have been every incentive for a painter to accentuate a royal person's good qualities, and every incentive to overlook the less-attractive ones (just ask Henry VIII whether Anne of Cleves really resembled her portrait). In some cases, we are not even certain we know who the subjects really were. There is some guesswork involved in a few cases as to whether the painting is really of the person we think it is. But it is amazing how you can take images in these paintings and reconstruct what an actual subject may have looked like.
Excellent work. “The Spanish Princess” brought me here.
Without a doubt some of the best photo recreation and animation I've ever seen posted. You're a real pro.
Aunque fue Enrique VIII quien hizo la reforma en la iglesia y creo la corriente anglicana, nunca jamás dejó de ser católico y se dice que quiso a Catalina hasta su muerte, fue una gran compañera, esposa, reina y muy querida por el pueblo inglés. Excelente video, pero se me ha hecho corto! me encanta
Catherine of Aragon or her sister Joanna, first picture.
Henry wronged her so badly. They were happily married for years and then he gets a younger, trophy wife. And even after all he put her thru she still prayed for his soul.
Love your channel.
Que Grandioso Famosos Personajes Vuelven A La vida Que Maestría ...... Maravilloso !!
Another page of history comes to life with the image of Catherine of Aragon coming to life. To think how fickle history can be, if her husband Henry VIII had been granted the right to end his marriage, who knows what the evolution of the Catholic church would have been in England? Seeing these figures come to life somehow makes the past become the present for a few short minutes and we get to be there, back in their time, and what a time it must have been to be alive!
Thanks for your work!!🤗
Can you do Jean d’ arc?
What a beautiful woman.
Amazing work! 👌
She is absolutely gorgeous when she got older
Yr creativity teamed up with historical facts make yr video more meaningful ... history becomes alive....
Still waiting on America's Founding Fathers..
Great content
Catherine of Aragon..the most beautiful of Henrys wives..💝🎁🎈
What is the tittle music please?❤
