Frases de Catarina de Aragão

Catarina de Aragão foi Princesa de Espanha e a primeira rainha consorte de Henrique VIII de Inglaterra, sendo mãe da rainha Maria I. Conversava tanto em seu espanhol nativo, quanto em latim, grego, francês e, mais tarde, inglês. Quando rainha, o seu tempo foi maioritariamente empenhado em obras de caridade, o que lhe conferiu o amor do povo inglês.

Sua união com Henrique não resultou em um herdeiro masculino para o trono. Henrique entrou com um pedido de anulação do casamento, alegando que ela teria consumado o anterior, com seu irmão mais velho, falecido pouco depois de desposar Catarina, Artur, Príncipe de Gales. Uma série de eventos seguiu esse pedido, levando ao rompimento da coroa inglesa com a Igreja Católica Romana após o papa negá-lo. O rei, assumindo a supremacia religiosa no país, conseguiu a anulação e casou-se com sua amante Ana Bolena. Catarina, todavia, nunca aceitou a decisão, e continuou considerando-se sua legítima esposa e Rainha da Inglaterra. Wikipedia

Catarina de Aragão: Frases em inglês

“My most dear lord, King and husband, / The hour of my death now drawing on, the tender love I owe you forceth me, my case being such, to commend myself to you, and to put you in remembrance with a few words of the health and safeguard of your soul which you ought to prefer before all worldly matters, and before the care and pampering of your body, for the which you have cast me into many calamities and yourself into many troubles. For my part, I pardon you everything, and I wish to devoutly pray God that He will pardon you also. For the rest, I commend unto you our daughter Mary, beseeching you to be a good father unto her, as I have heretofore desired. I entreat you also, on behalf of my maids, to give them marriage portions, which is not much, they being but three. For all my other servants I solicit the wages due them, and a year more, lest they be unprovided for. Lastly, I make this vow, that mine eyes desire you above all things. / Katharine the Quene.”

Sharon Turner (1828) The History of England from the Earliest Period to the Death of Elizabeth, Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown and Green.

“Sir, I beseech you for all the love that hath been between us, and for the love of God, let me have justice and right. Take of me some pity and compassion, for I am a poor woman, and a stranger, born out of your dominion. I have here no assured friend and much less indifferent counsel. I flee to you, as to the head of justice within this realm. Alas, Sir, where have I offended you? Or what occasion have you of displeasure, that you intend to put me from you? I take God and all the world to witness that I have been to you a true, humble and obedient wife, ever comfortable to your will and pleasure. I have been always well pleased and contented with all things wherein you had any delight or dalliance. I never grudged a word or countenance, or showed a spark or discontent. I loved all those whom ye loved, only for your sake, whether I had cause or no, and whether they were my friends or enemies. This 20 years or more I have been your true wife and by me ye have had divers children, although it hath pleased God to call them from this world, which hath been no default in me. And when ye had me at first, I take God to my judge; I was a true maid, without touch of man.”

“My tribulations are so great, my life so disturbed by the plans daily invented to further the King's wicked intention, the surprises which the King gives me, with certain persons of his council, are so mortal, and my treatment is what God knows, that it is enough to shorten ten lives, much more mine.”
