J.A. Froude’s The Divorce of Catherine of Aragon covers one of the seminal moments in English history: King Henry VIII’s desire to divorce his wife, the popular Catherine of Aragon, so he could marry Anne Boleyn. Catherine was a popular Spanish princess and a Catholic, so the Catholic countries and the Vatican refused to annul their marriage, which eventually brought about England’s split from the church and the introduction of the Church of England.
