Queen Katherine of Aragon[As established by the series credits and [http://www.sho.com/site/tudors/characters.do character list on the official website] , the character's name is spelled Katherine with a "K" in contrast to the English language spelling "Catherine" usually used for the actual historical figure. This can be argued to be more historically accurate, as the real figure signed her name with a K.] is a fictional character on the Showtime television series "The Tudors". Based on the historical Catherine of Aragon, she is portrayed by Maria Doyle Kennedy.]The daughter of Ferdinand V and Isabella I of Spain, Katherine is married to King Henry VIII of England, with whom she has a daughter, Mary Tudor. She has previously lost three sons and two daughters by miscarriage; Henry soon convinces himself that this is a punishment from God. Seeking to divorce Katherine to hopefully produce a male heir with courtier Anne Boleyn, Henry argues that Katherine's previous marriage to his brother Arthur — dissolved by Arthur's death and annulled by the Church as unconsummated — had actually been consummated and was thus valid. This would effectively nullify his marriage to Katherine.
Katherine's nephew is Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, Henry's rival and on-again, off-again ally. Katherine seeks Charles' aid in her attempts to thwart Henry's machinations against her.
