1536, Katharine of Aragon, 1st wife of Henry VIII died at Kimbolton Castle. As Katharine would not allow anyone to serve her who would not address her as 'Queen', her servants were limited to the few remaining Spanish members of her household who were not forced to swear to the Acts of Succession and Supremacy which rendered Katharine’s title as Dowager Princess of Wales. bit.ly/1Wj6HMS Pic Horenbout ©NPG
