The Bride of Two Kings: A Forgotten Tragedy of the Portuguese Court (1911) by Edmund Basil D'Auvergne is a historical account of the life of Princess Catherine of Portugal. The book explores the political and social climate of Portugal during the 15th century, and the role played by Catherine in the political alliances between Portugal, England, and Spain. Princess Catherine was married to King Henry VIII's older brother, Arthur Tudor, but he died shortly after their wedding. She was then married to Henry VIII, but their marriage was annulled. The book delves into the reasons behind the annulment, including Henry VIII's desire for a male heir and his infatuation with Anne Boleyn. D'Auvergne also explores the tragic fate of Catherine's family members, including her father King Manuel I of Portugal and her sister Isabella, who was married to Charles V of Spain. The book sheds light on the political and personal struggles of the Portuguese court during this tumultuous period in history. Overall, The Bride of Two Kings is an insightful and detailed account of the life of Princess Catherine of Portugal and the political alliances of the 15th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
