On this day in Tudor history, 27th June 1505, thirteen-year-old Henry, Prince of Wales, only surviving son of King Henry VII, broke up with nineteen-year-old Catherine of Aragon, daughter of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, by repudiating their two-year betrothal.
It was the eve of their wedding, so why would Henry do this to Catherine?
Let Claire Ridgway, founder of the Tudor Society, explain exactly what happened on this day in 1505 and how the couple ended up getting married four years later.

I always wonder if she never married Henry, what would have become of her? Would her dad have taken her back and let her move back to Spain? Ot in those days did they just leave their daughter where she was and let them figure out what to do with her? So sad.
