"Her life contained personal peril, clandestine romance, war, political intrigue, jealous husbands and royal matrimony. Her character, so often misconstrued, was passionate, vital and at times dangerously impulsive. Catherine Parr was a strong-willed and outspoken woman, a committed player of power politics, an active parton of a multitude of arts taking shape in the emerging English Renaissance, a vigorous contributor to and supporter of the English Reformation." - Susan James, Catherine Parr: Henry's Last Love

"Kathryn Howard did not have the impact of other English queens, before or after, and it would be disingenuous to claim otherwise, but that augments, rather than lessens, her particular tragedy. Looked at in detail, the portrait that emerges of Henry's fifth wife is of an elegant, beautiful, and vivacious young woman. Her faults were obvious, but usually trivial" - Gareth Russell, Young and Damned and Fair: The Life and Tragedy of Catherine Howard at the Court of Henry VIII

"Katherine grew up to become a woman of deep, even exaggerated intensity... Intensity and perfectionism explain, too, both her success and popularity... She was ready - even happy - to die for her own cause. That, by the measure of her time, is an example of extreme passion ... Passion was a matter of love, faith, suffering and above all religious conviction." - Giles Tremlett, Catherine of Aragon: Henry's Spanish Queen

"She is often portrayed as a nonentity, content with the domestic sphere and of little intelligence. This is not the Jane that is portrayed in the sources and the real Jane was a shrewd politician and a strong character. Jane could not have won the King without a ruthless streak and ambition... The immediate priority was to always avoid the fate of her two predecessors. Anything else could wait." - Elizabeth Norton, Jane Seymour: Henry VIII's True Love

“The stakes are too high. Whoever is a coward now will soon rue the day and regret his misfortune. Successful people only recognise fear in others” - Thomas Boleyn

"Anne was both intelligent and practical ... Thomas Cromwell lost his head for his role in the Cleves marriage, but Anne's shrewdness ensured she kept hers. She remained cheerful and obliging. Anne of Cleves set out for her marriage with high hopes and, in the space of less than a year, they were dashed." - Elizabeth Norton, Anne of Cleves: Henry VIII's Discarded Bride
