Catherine of Aragon

clerihew

Behold Cath'rine of Aragon
after six children whereupon
from Henry an annulment was said.
Somehow she managed to keep her head.

thanks, Andrea, I welcome your comment and appreciation for the pun. She led a very hard life afterwards, daugther of Isabella and Ferdinand.
