27th September, 1501: Katherine of Aragon sets sail for England


On The Anne Boleyn Files, Claire Ridgeway discusses the day the fifteen year-old Katherine of Aragon left her native Spain to marry into the English royal family. Due to adverse weather conditions, the Infanta's trip had already been forced to turn back to Spain once before, but, this time, the new captain, Stephen Butt, sent all the way from England by King Henry VII, carried the flotilla out into the Atlantic and towards England.

  1. I love the picture, where is it located? It's so nice to see something other than the one or two pictures of young Katherine or the older, more matronly-looking Katherine.
