** Catherine's marriage to Arthur in ''Patience, Princess Catherine'' is arranged to secure an alliance between Spain and England, and the main reason Henry VII refuses to send Catherine back home after Arthur's death is because he wants to keep her very rich dowry (to the point that after his wife and son's deaths, the possibility of him marrying ''Catherine'' just to maintain the alliance is brought up). In the end, Catherine ends up having a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage with Arthur's younger brother Henry (that, sadly and obviously, does not last).


Added DiffLines:

* LastKiss: The furthest that Catherine and Arthur ever go in intimacy is one kiss when out walking together, which is immediately ruined by Arthur coughing up blood afterwards (signifying his ultimately fatal illness). At his funeral, Catherine kisses him goodbye before he is laid to rest.


Added DiffLines:

* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: Tragically defied; after Catherine and Arthur committed a ConsummationCounterfeit to avoid the pressure of actually consummating their marriage on their wedding night, they aren't married long before Arthur dies without an heir. When Arthur's mother Elizabeth tells Catherine it would be of some comfort after his loss to know Catherine was pregnant with Arthur's child, Catherine has to admit that she is not.

* BrotherSisterIncest: One of the possibilities batted about for poor Mary is to marry her to Henry Fitzroy, the Duke of Richmond - who is her father's son by one of his mistresses. To her deep relief, this one never gets beyond the rumor stage.

* WickedStepmother: ''Mary, Bloody Mary'' paints Anne Boleyn in this light. Anne is repeatedly cruel to Mary, taking away her servants and forcing her to act as a servant herself. Worst of all (in Mary's opinion), she creates a huge wedge between Mary and the father she idolizes. How much of this is TruthInTelevision will never really be known, but the real Mary definitely ''hated'' the real Anne, seeing her as the reason for her parents' marital problems. The real Anne was not overly fond of the real Mary, either; she once famously remarked that "I am her death, and she is mine."

* ContinuityNod: A small one that's easy to miss, but Carolyn Meyer was also the writer of ''Jewel of Castilla'' from ''Literature/TheRoyalDiaries'', which focused on Catherine's mother, Isabel. In ''Patience, Princess Catherine'', Catherine recalls being told of how her parents first met and the details line up exactly with how it was described in ''Castilla'', down to Isabel wearing the same lavender dress with a ruby necklace and exclaiming the same line upon seeing her husband-to-be ("It is he! Oh, it is he! And all that I could wish!").

Mary is then put in CinderellaCircumstances in having to serve as a nursemaid to her baby sister and then unclean confinement, not even allowed to see her mother when the latter is dying.
* BreakTheHaughty: Before Anne Boleyn, Mary was quite certain of her position in life and love for her father. By the end of it he gives her a pittance of an allowance when she signs the confessions of being a bastard child that won't even cover her wardrobe and plans to put her in an ArrangedMarriage.
* BrokenPedestal: Mary no longer sees her father as a strong man after he executes Anne and marries Lady Jane Seymour. It doesn't help that he doesn't acknowledge that what he allowed to happen to her was essentially physical and emotional abuse once she gives into his demands.

* TheChainsOfCommanding: Every one of the girls who become queen eventually suffer this. Mary is warned at the end of her novel to look out for Elizabeth as her rival for this reason, and she has to later violently oppress Jane Grey's rebellion.



* DespairEventHorizon: Mary nearly crosses it after her mother dies, she isn't allowed the see the latter or attend the funeral and is pressured to sign confessions renouncing her birthright. Just as she's contemplating DyingAlone in confinement since it's what her mother would have wanted, she thinks God speaks to her and tells her that she will be queen.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: While Mary earned her nickname due to executing many "heretics," the afterword to her novel points out that she never did beheading because her nanny on charges of treason got executed with an axe-man who had no skill and thus hacked her to death.
