While I could see pitying Catherine of Aragon, she wasn't particularly powerful (she just had a lot of conviction).

I've tried to explain that to her (though I think my words were more like "she was basically a pawn on a chessboard") but it didn't go over too well. :ph34r:

Twilight is on the Netflix list. I will suggest that the week I am at WBC would be an excellent time for it to arrive.

The biggest thing that drives me nuts is the bizarre perception that women were property in the Middle-Ages and had no access to power...of course almost everybody was legally property, bound to the land and all that, and the Middle Ages had more women with overall political power than any other time in western history.  Further in any society where the family are all important women had alot of power, simply because they were a part of said family that controlled everything.

Naturally anything I do to point these things out gets vigoriously argued with.

Oh and Christianity was anti-woman and ruined all the great stuff they had under paganism because you know, those Greeks and Romans were all about empowering the women.

If she was worth killing she must have been important? If her nephew hadn't been Holy Roman Emperor and holding the Pope hostage when she reached menopause without providing a male heir then she would have "gotten herself to a nunnery" while Henry trawled around for more tottey.

Um...didn't she die a natural death?

You're talking about attributes of hers that she had no control over.

I can understand for example why one might admire Hillary Clinton, and in fact I myself have a rather high opinion of her and am sorry she lost the nomination to Obama.  Hillary, you know, actually managed to do some shit on her own.

Admiring Catherine of Aragon is to me the same thing as admiring a supermodel because she was born amazingly beautiful.

Yes, you are correct, I'm getting my Tudor wives mixed up.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
