Katharine of Aragon is a Queen that looms large in the consciousness of many Tudor history fans, particularly in the minds of us from Peterborough. In this talk, Peterborough-based and raised historian Jackson van Uden looks at the life of Katharine of Aragon and the tyranny of her second husband, Henry VIII, that she experienced and witnessed throughout their 24 years of marriage and beyond.

A Peterborough local who is at the early stages of his history career, having recently been named in the 2024 Cohort of BBC History Extra’s 30 Under 30 Historians, and has written several works on the tyranny of world leaders. His work has appeared on several major history podcasts and platforms such as History Rage, the Chalke and Gloucester History Festival and the magazine All About History and History of War. He is also the Talks Curator for the Katharine of Aragon Festival in Peterborough.
