Queen Catherine of England with MARAH STOHL ; DAVID MAHLOWE Roy BARRACLOUGH GEOFFREY WHEELER

Princess Catherine hardly ever ventured outside the palace grounds; if she did go on an excursion it was to a religious shrine. From this nun-like existence she was summoned to become the Queen of England. Charles II grew to be as fond of his dark little Queen as she was of him. and after his death she felt very much alone as a Catholic in a fiercely Protestant England. When in her fifties she returned to Portugal and a new career.
