Yay!

To be honest, I'm surprised there was an answer that fits me so closely.



Congratulations! You are Katherine Parr.

Katherine Parr spent nearly her whole life married to crotchety old men: Henry was the THIRD old fart she was forced to marry. Is it any wonder she turned to books and religion to occupy her time?

Katherine wasn't just smart, she was a tiny bit uppity, too: she almost got herself thrown in jail for arguing with His Royal Fatness about some theological issues. After Henry croaked, Katherine dropped the prim and proper act and married Thomas Seymour, a handsome, dashing pirate kind of guy who was also as dumb as a post.

Which goes to show you that even bookworms know how to get it on.

I got that answer, as well, and was similarly gratified. She really was an interesting woman, I think, and I've been meaning to study her for quite some time.

I applaud her for being smart enough to marry the monster and then smart enough to outlive him. Talking about setting yourself up for life!

Did you check out my last post, about the Tom Noonan short? You've really got to watch that, C. I think you'll get a kick out of it. :)

I've always been fascinated by the Tudors and their lives and liaisons. The idea of being married to Henry in any but his earliest adult form repels me on every level, but Parr really did well with it, albeit by the skin of her teeth at one point. I admire her very much more than I do the rest of his wives, although I sympathize with most of them on some level.

I have the Noonan short lined up to watch when time permits, which I hope will be tomorrow. Today is going to be ridiculously busy. Thank you for making it available to us!
