  My favorite has to be Elizabeth Woodville. She survived the wars of the roses and while she lost her precious boys she managed to make her daughter Elizabeth Queen of England by marriage to henry VII to help the Tudor dynasty and her blood remains on the family to this day! Bravo! 👸👸👸👸

  if only charles married camila first , diana would have been still alive and happy...both the parties would have been happy instead of going through all that trauma.

  Charles unfortunately felt he had to do what the family wanted. Remember at that time Diana had to be examined by a dr to verify she was a virgin ! That’s how antiquated they were. I was horrified for her. She was in love, he wasn’t, and he made her very unhappy. Rest in peace Princess ❤

  Katherine Howard is my favorite of Henry VIII's wives. She truly deserved so much better. She was just a teenager manipulated and hurt by so many powerful men.

  If we are counting Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon as aristocratic, Anne neville and Katherine Howard should be counted as nobles as well one was a male line granddaughter of a duke and the other was the daughter of an earl

  I feel so much for the Charles, Camilla, Diana circle. Privileged aside no one deserves to be in such a situation. Let people marry who they love.

  I like the way you framed Catherine Howards story. I've watched many Tudor documentaries and they never show enough sympathy for her. She was taken advantage of and abused by most of the men in her life. She was so young and has such a tragic tale.

  I would not call Catherine Howard a commonner. She might not be the daughter of a peer, but she was still the niece of a duke, and a member of the ancient and noble Howard dynasty.

  As for Anne if Cleves, Henry did NOT reject her because of her looks. &nbsp;Basically what happened is that when they first met she didn&apos;t recognize him as he was in disguise and no one told her he liked to do this. &nbsp;He flirted with her, some accounts say he kissed her, and she rebuffed him, not knowing he was the king. &nbsp;He was embarrassed and left and then she was told that the man she had rejected was actually the king. &nbsp;The king returned, dressed as a king but by then it was too late. &nbsp;She had wounded his ego. &nbsp;So in order to save face he said not so flattering things about her (but he never said she was ugly or looked like a horse!).

  I always found it funny that a marriage could be called void if the couple actually never did the deed. Even if a priest blessed them, no sex= no marriage 😂

  I have never understood why Charles and Camilla were forced apart. The two of them and poor Deanna were made miserable because the Royal Crown insisted the bride had to be a virgin? How medieval…
