One of the best known - and only known - quotes from Catherine of Aragon is regarding her jewellery. When Henry VIII asked her to surrender her jewels since they belonged to the Queen of England - a position she no longer held - the former Queen replied:
"I will not give them up to a person who is the scandal of Christendom and a disgrace to you."
It is obvious that she is referring to Anne Boleyn who was moving faster and faster towards becoming the Queen of England.
