Katherine Parr: life of the week
Elizabeth Norton considers the life and legacy of Katherine Parr, the Tudor queen who 'survived' Henry VIII – and why she deserves to be known for so much more

She was the most-married wife of England's most-married king, but there was so much more to Katherine Parr. Speaking to Kev Lochun, Tudor historian Elizabeth Norton explores the circumstances that brought the twice-widowed Katherine to the attention of Henry VIII, how she almost lost her head, and why her greatest legacy is not as a wife, but as an author and stepmother.
