PARR, See also:CATHERINE (1512-1548) , the See also:sixth See also:queen of See also:Henry VIII., was a daughter of See also:Sir See also:Thomas Parr (d. 1517), of See also:Kendal, an See also:official of the royal See also:household. When only a girl she was married to See also:Edward See also:Borough, and after his See also:death in or before 1529 to See also:John See also:Neville, See also:Lord See also:Latimer, who died in 1542 or 1543. Latimer had only been dead a few months when, on the 12th of See also:July 1543, Catherine was married to Henry VIII. at See also:Hampton See also:Court. The new queen, who was See also:regent of See also:England during the See also:king's See also:absence in 1544, acted in a very kindly See also:fashion towards her stepchildren; but her patience_with the king did not prevent a See also:charge of See also:heresy from being brought against her. Henry, however, would not permit her See also:arrest, and she became a widow for the third See also:time on his death in See also:January 1547. In the same See also:year she married a former See also:lover, Sir Thomas See also:Seymour, now Lord Seymour of Sudeley. Soon after this event, on the 7th of See also:September 1548, she died at Sudeley See also:castle. Catherine was a pious and charitable woman and a friend of learning; she wrote The Lamentation or Complaint of a Sinner, which was published after her death. See A.
