Katherine Parr Was Held Hostage Before She Ever Met Henry VIII

Before Katherine Parr became Henry VIII's sixth wife, she spent eight years at Snape Castle in North Yorkshire as Lady Latimer. In January 1537, armed rebels from the Pilgrimage of Grace showed up while her husband was away, took her and her stepchildren hostage, and ransacked the place.

I think that moment explains everything about who Katherine became.
