Catherine's Marmalade

On that day, Henry ate marmalade, a dessert, for the first time. It was a recipe that Catherine, the wife of his older brother Arthur, had brought to England from her native Spain. This is a story from when Henry, who would later become King Henry VIII of England—taking six wives, executing two of them, and executing many loyal retainers whenever they became inconvenient—was still merely the second prince and harbored admiration for his sister-in-law Catherine. ◇This is a submission for the official project "Autumn History 2023." ※ It is also posted on Alphapolice.
