Patience, Princess Catherine by Carolyn Meyer is the fourth title in the Young Royals series. Opening with the musings of the displaced Catherine of Aragon, imprisoned by her husband Henry VIII and supplanted by Anne Boleyn, the story flashes back to Catherine's betrothal and marriage first to Arthur, then to Arthur's brother Henry. Catherine's joy in finally marrying Henry stands in striking contrast to her eventual fate when she cannot produce a male heir.
