Katherine of Aragon was speaking out for the women of the country, for the good wives who should not be put aside just because their husbands had taken a fancy to another, for the women who walked the hard road between kitchen, bedroom, church and childbirth. For the women who deserved more than their husband's whim. ↗

That’s a promise. ↗

And the moral of the story is that you don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened.
