In our six-part series, leading Tudor historians reveal six iconic heritage spaces in the UK connected to each of Henry VIII\u2019s queens. In this video, Dr Estelle Paranque reveals why Katherine Parr\u2019s idyllic family home was transformed into her hated prison\u2026 <\/p>
Katherine Parr<\/a> was living in Snape Castle in 1537, during the Pilgrimage of Grace<\/a> \u2013 one of the greatest rebellions in Henry VIII<\/a>\u2019s reign.<\/p>\n Her husband, John Latimer, had been participating in the Pilgrimage of Grace, leaving his children and his wife in Snape Castle. But when he was in London, people believed that he had turned his back on the rebels. The rebels in the north-west were so angry with him that they went to Snape Castle and imprisoned his wife, Katherine, and his children, John and Margaret Latimer, in their own home.<\/p>\n That was the hardest period Katherine Parr ever endured. Physically, she was unharmed, but mentally she was really suffering. She was scared for own life, as well as for her step-children\u2019s lives and her husband\u2019s life. She didn\u2019t know what was going to happen. Luckily, her husband managed to come back home and save the day, but it was a very hard time.<\/p>\n And so, I would like you to visit that castle and to imagine what it was like to be imprisoned in your own house, and try to link Katherine Parr to this space. I know that usually she is linked to Hampton Court Palace, but here is an opportunity for you to see that, before she became queen, she did not always enjoy an easy and beautiful life. She had to endure real hardship.<\/p>\n Related content<\/strong><\/p>\n In our six-part series Henry VIII\u2019s six wives: Secrets of the Tudor queens<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, leading Tudor historians explore each queen\u2019s heady rise to power, peeling back the myths surrounding these six women to reveal their true natures.
