Oh dear! Catherine of Aragon, first wife of King Henry VIII, had a bit of a bad day on this day in Tudor history, 3rd July 1533. Not only had she trodden on a pin and was suffering with a bad cough, but she was also told that she had to stop calling herself queen - not likely!
In today's "on this day" video, Claire Ridgway, founder of the Tudor Society, shares Thomas Cromwell's letter to Catherine's chamberlain on this matter, and also gives Catherine's reaction to it. She was a spirited and strong lady!
