Catherine and Henry's Relationships

Catherine was excelling in her role as queen and had proven that she could carry a healthy child to term. So how did things begin to go wrong? Well, I think time is not on Henry and Catherine's side. And even though she was only or barely 30 when Mary was born, that's getting towards the end of your childbearing years. Life expectancy often didn't extend much beyond your mid-30s if you were a woman.Henry felt no responsibility to abide by the rules of marital fidelity. This was something that had proven a bone of contention much earlier in the marriage.
