The arrangements for the royal nuptials were made Avith a celerity truly astonishing ; barely three months intervened between the proving of Lord Lati- mer's will, and the day when Katharine exchanged her briefly- Avorn Aveeds of widowhood for the bridal robes of a Queen of England — robes that had proved fatal trappings to four of her five predecessors in the perilous dignity to Avhich it Avas the pleasure of her enamored sovereign to advance her. The nuptials of Henry VHI. and Katharine Parr,... instead of being hurried over secretly in an obscure corner, like some unhal- lowed mystery (as Avas the case in his previous marriages Avith Anne Boleyn and Katharine Howard), Avere solemnized much in the same way as royal marriages are in the present times, Avithout pageantry, but Avith all suitable observances. The ceremony Avas performed by Gardiner, Bishop of Win- chester, in the queen's closet at Hampton Court, and the high respect of the monarch for his bride Avas proved by his per- mitting the Princesses Mary and Elizabeth, his daughters, and his niece, the Lady Margaret Douglas, to assist at these nuptials.
