Catherine of Braganca: Infanta of Portugal, and Queen-Consort of England (1908) is a historical biography written by Lillias Campbell Davidson. The book chronicles the life of Catherine of Braganca, a Portuguese princess who became the queen-consort of England when she married King Charles II in 1662. The book explores Catherine's upbringing in Portugal, her journey to England, and her life as queen-consort. It examines the political and social climate of the time, including the religious tensions between the Catholic Catherine and the Protestant English court. Davidson delves into Catherine's personal life, including her marriage to Charles II, her struggles to conceive an heir, and her relationship with her husband's many mistresses. The book also discusses Catherine's patronage of the arts and her contributions to the development of tea-drinking culture in England. Overall, Catherine of Braganca: Infanta of Portugal, and Queen-Consort of England is a detailed and well-researched biography that sheds light on the life of an often-overlooked historical figure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
