The caption to the first picture in the article reads, "The dignified Catherine Parr, the last of King Henry VIII's wives, was married more than any other queen, four times. Her marriage to Henry was her third. She died as a result of giving birth to her first child in her mid-30s." (I've put the picture and caption here, too, at left.) Does all of that information really belong there, or can it go elsewhere in favor of a short-and-sweet caption? At the very least, it could be rewritten for clarity. — AnnaKucsma ( Talk to me!) 15:00, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Agree - I've cut that down. -- Beardo 05:26, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
"Her only child, a daughter, Mary Seymour, born 30 August, appears not to have long survived her mother. Her father, Thomas Seymour, was executed before she was a year old, and she was taken to live with Catherine Willoughby, dowager Duchess of Suffolk, a close friend of Catherine Parr. While little is known of her life thereafter, it is believed that she went on to have several children who eventually settled in the United States (then the colonies)."
Not long survived ? Or grew up to have several children ? -- Beardo 05:26, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, as a 50 year old Englishman, I have never heard of "Catherine Parr". Henry VIII married Katherine Parr. The portrait, and all the external pages cited all call her Katherine, with a K. Where does this incorrect spelling come from?? When I get an hour or so!! I will correct this, and "'enery's" pages.-- Bilbo B 15:52, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
In Alison Weir's novel, The Six Wives of Henry VIII, it stated that Parr's name was spelled with a 'K'. Weir must have done alot of research to find if her name was spelled with a K or C and I personally believe that it is spelled with a K. Also, in the backround of the portrait it spells it with a K.
There does not seem to be a way to change the title page! (Everyone is talking about how wrong the spelling is, & no one has changed it, so I tried to do so - and failed). How is this done?? FlaviaR 17:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
So, let me get this right: the woman in question spelled her name "Kateryn," as confirmed by an examination of various documents that she herself wrote. But because there is "no longer such a spelling" (whatever that really means), "it is simpler to go with the most commonly used spelling of her name"? And even then, a variant spelling wins out over a less common but still "legitimate" spelling? When did clearly documented history become mutable by modern consensus? And what gives us the right to re-spell a person's name solely for the sake of our own lazy convenience, it being too "difficult" to wrap our narrow minds around the idea that personal names are exactly that: personal ... individual, and thus subject to personal whims of spelling. I have to wonder how all those people out there with unconventional names and non-traditional spellings of names would feel if we informed them all that "we" would no longer recognize as legitimate their unusual or unusually spelled names? The idea is absurd. Long live KATERYN Parr! PhD Historian 21:24, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I changed "Queen Consort" to "Royal Consort" in the succession box. Although Guildford Dudley did succeed her as Royal Consort (if you hold that Jane was a legitimate queen - I don't know enough about it to have an opinion), he didn't succeed her as Queen Consort. Also, most succession boxes do say "Royal Consort" and not "Queen Consort". It seemed more accurate vis a vis Guildford Dudley and it follows precedent. -- Charlene 05:03, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
In the section discussing Katherine's life following the death of Henry the article refers to a dispute over royal jewellery causing a rift between the Seymour brothers before it mentions that Katherine went on to marry Thomas. As this makes no narrative sense I have attempted to recorder this section in a more sensible manner. Happy enough for someone to revert these changes if they feel they can do better, but note the narrative issue in doing so. 94.193.220.27 ( talk) 22:17, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
I thought it was Katheryn no it's CAtherine
She wrote it herself as Kateryn and we have one example of her writing it as Katheryn. These were the most common spellings of the name in sixteenth-century England, although the spelling of names wasn't fixed and people would often vary it. Sone argue for Katherine as it's the modern version most similar to the version used by Catherine Parr, others prefer Catherine as the mose common modern-day spelling. Boleyn ( talk) 17:57, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
I think we can, by now, safely change this to simply "Katherine Parr" - but I would like some agreement before I just go do it. FlaviaR 17:42, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
I have seen on a well-researched Polish site that Catherine Parr was born 11 November 1512. What do the other editors think? Can it be added to the article? jeanne ( talk) 16:01, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Not unless it gives a reference. To my memory, Martienssen and James haven't come up with a DOB, and nobody has looked into her life more deeply than they have. I'm very doubtful of any exact DOBs given in the sixteenth-century, except for royalty Boleyn ( talk) 16:17, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
I notice that the section on titles and styles lists her last title as HM Queen Catherine for 1547, with no mention of her title for 1548.
How did it work when a Queen Dowager remarried? Was she still entitled to her status as Queen Dowager, and to the style of HM Queen Firstname or did she take her title from her new husband, in which case Catherine would have been Baroness Seymour or Lady Seymour from her marriage to Thomas Seymour to her death? 86.47.42.32 ( talk) 10:28, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

"An arrest warrant was drawn up for her and rumours abounded across Europe that he was attracted to her close friend, the Duchess of Suffolk." Can I assume that the "he" in this sentence refers to the King? I think the antecedent is unclear. Peter Delmonte ( talk) 04:07, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
"As sex during pregnancy was frowned upon during the sixteenth century, Seymour began to take an interest in Lady Elizabeth." This is a nonsensical sentence. 32Flavors ( talk) 08:03, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
The factors that are said to have endeared her to many historians make her sound like a rather priggish bluestocking. This appears to have been far from the case. She was a passionate person, in the physical sense, and evidently quite sexy well into her thirties (which was not young in Tudor times). She was also not above the use of obscenities when it suited her: see, for example, Porter (2010), p299. These facets only add to her appeal.

Why are there so many red links in the ancestry section? I honestly don't think all of these people (such as N. Septvans, Elizabeth Houby, and Lady Marina Bellers), will end up with their own articles, so some of the red links should be removed.-- Jeanne Boleyn ( talk) 16:54, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
It would seem that there are two pages about the same person on here -- Thomas Burgh, 1st Baron Burgh and Thomas Borough, 3rd Baron Borough of Gainsborough (why am I bringing this up? well..) -- this person is the son of Edward Borough/Burgh which people are linking Catherine to as her first husband, which should probably be left with no link because we are not sure which Edward Borough/Burgh she married. If recent research and peerage books are correct, Catherine married this Thomas' son, Sir Edward. The Peerage says it's Sir Edward, son of Thomas along with other books about Catherine. The title of the barony, Burgh, is pronounced "Borough" and the Tudor Place, which people were using I'm assuming when they made these pages, uses the name 'Borough', not 'Burgh' -- therefore there are two pages of the same person. Does anyone want to help fix this? Thanks -- Lady Meg ( talk) 00:10, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

The lead is very poor and does not adequately summarise her life. Is the fact that Catherine's ancestors were from Kendal Castle the most notable feature of Catherine Parr?

Does anyone want to add more information on her time with Lord Latimer? -- Lady Meg ( talk) 04:42, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Does anyone think we should add a section on her short lived marriage to Sir Edward Burgh? I have something written up if anyone thinks it's worth writing about. In her biographies by Linda Porter and Susan James there are more than a few pages describing her marriage -- so anyone who is interested, let me know. -- Lady Meg ( talk) 23:49, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
It would seem that the deposition of Kat Ashley is not copied word for word and the sentences written imply that the Dowager Queen joined in with the tickling and what not. Catherine is not accused of any sexual matter and did not "molest" [which is what the paragraph implies] Elizabeth. This source Stores from the State Papers which uses Kat Ashley's deposition.. does not state that the Dowager Queen was in the room when Seymour came in, in the morning. Rather she was still sleeping. Rather in most books Kat Ashley is not even seen as a reputable source either; Elizabeth ended up under the care of Lady Trywhitt while Kat was told by the council that she was unfit to look after Elizabeth. The wording and the credibility of the source, Kat Ashley, is regarded as somewhat unreliable. Kat Ashley waffled with her statements about Seymour. She even went as far as encouraging Elizabeth to consider marrying Seymour after the dowager queen died; saying that Elizabeth would be so lucky to have a man like him. It's rather tiring seeing people recently online accusing Catherine of being a "molester" when the full story is not presented on Wikipedia! People seem to rely on Wikipedia for history now and stop after reading these pages. They do not fully investigate the history of the situation and the credibility of the woman, the only person who gave this information under intense investigation and threat of torture after being arrested and put in the Tower.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Catherine Parr's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

There are two sections where it says she was in trouble for being a protestant. Wasn't Henry VIII the number one protestant ? So how was she in trouble for that ? Some clarification of that would be helpful. Lathamibird ( talk) 05:45, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
Henry VIII wasn't Protestant and considered Protestants heretics. The Church of England he set up became Protestant during his son and daughter's reigns, but that was not his intention. His church was not far from 'Catholicism without the Pope'. Boleyn ( talk) 06:25, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Catherine was considered 'Queen' after the death of King Henry and that was to hold until Edward married and then she would have been Queen Dowager. That was part of Henry's will. She was titled 'Queen Catherine' after he died. She was technically Queen Dowager but was allowed to be called 'Queen'. That is my explanation that should be included in her bio somewhere. Also, her jewels and that of the Queen's jewels were locked in the Tower for safe keeping and she never saw them again due to The Lord Protector and his wife. True that Henry said she could keep and wear the Queen's jewels, but she never saw them again after they were locked away. -- Lady Meg ( talk) 20:46, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
I would also like to add that someone changed her death date to the 7th of September. Her death date is the 5th of September. I see that since I have not been paying attention to this article, A LOT of things have been taken out or changed and not for the better. -- Lady Meg ( talk) 22:53, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
PLEASE stop changing her death date or putting that it's another date all together. If you're not familiar with Kateryn Parr or this time period, I would appreciate it if you would stick to other pages and leave these for people who are educated and have dedicated decades of their life to researching Kateryn. Pretty sure that Alison Weir has her death date correct in her Six Wives book and if she doesn't, I don't know where she's getting her information. She's not even a specialist when it comes to Kateryn. Also Encyclopedia Brittanica can be changed by people who have no specialization in areas like Kateryn. Please stop changing the date. Thank you.

There are a LOT more that I can list that have the correct date, so please stop messing with the date. - Lady Meg ( talk) 22:48, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

I noticed this must have happened a few years ago now. I had uploaded my own photo of the tomb. Then it was taken out for this small photo from the back of the tomb? Surely people want to see the whole tomb. How is this photo now in the article better than the photo I took?

It would seem that there are two pages about the same person on here -- Thomas Burgh, 1st Baron Burgh and Thomas Borough, 3rd Baron Borough of Gainsborough (why am I bringing this up? well..) -- this person is the son of Edward Borough/Burgh which people are linking Catherine to as her first husband, which should probably be left with no link because we are not sure which Edward Borough/Burgh she married. If recent research and peerage books are correct, Catherine married this Thomas' son, Sir Edward. The Peerage says it's Sir Edward, son of Thomas along with other books about Catherine. The title of the barony, Burgh, is pronounced "Borough" and the Tudor Place, which people were using I'm assuming when they made these pages, uses the name 'Borough', not 'Burgh' -- therefore there are two pages of the same person. Does anyone want to help fix this? Thanks -- Lady Meg ( talk) 00:10, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Thanks -- I'm not super savvy on here. Much appreciated. -- Lady Meg ( talk) 04:32, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
The lead is very poor and does not adequately summarise her life. Is the fact that Catherine's ancestors were from Kendal Castle the most notable feature of Catherine Parr? Her strong support of the Reformation should be up there in lieu of her ancestry and birthplace!-- Jeanne Boleyn ( talk) 07:33, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
The fact that she was the fourth of Henry's consorts to have been a commoner should be in the article.-- Jeanne Boleyn ( talk) 12:13, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Does anyone want to add more information on her time with Lord Latimer? -- Lady Meg ( talk) 04:42, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Does anyone think we should add a section on her short lived marriage to Sir Edward Burgh? I have something written up if anyone thinks it's worth writing about. In her biographies by Linda Porter and Susan James there are more than a few pages describing her marriage -- so anyone who is interested, let me know. -- Lady Meg ( talk) 23:49, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
It would seem that the deposition of Kat Ashley is not copied word for word and the sentences written imply that the Dowager Queen joined in with the tickling and what not. Catherine is not accused of any sexual matter and did not "molest" [which is what the paragraph implies] Elizabeth. This source Stores from the State Papers which uses Kat Ashley's deposition.. does not state that the Dowager Queen was in the room when Seymour came in, in the morning. Rather she was still sleeping. Rather in most books Kat Ashley is not even seen as a reputable source either; Elizabeth ended up under the care of Lady Trywhitt while Kat was told by the council that she was unfit to look after Elizabeth. The wording and the credibility of the source, Kat Ashley, is regarded as somewhat unreliable. Kat Ashley waffled with her statements about Seymour. She even went as far as encouraging Elizabeth to consider marrying Seymour after the dowager queen died; saying that Elizabeth would be so lucky to have a man like him. It's rather tiring seeing people recently online accusing Catherine of being a "molester" when the full story is not presented on Wikipedia! People seem to rely on Wikipedia for history now and stop after reading these pages. They do not fully investigate the history of the situation and the credibility of the woman, the only person who gave this information under intense investigation and threat of torture after being arrested and put in the Tower. Another link and please note the separate letters sent by Elizabeth to the Queen AND Seymour AFTER she had been sent away: Katherine the Queen, Linda Porter -- Lady Meg ( talk) 07:25, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi everyone, there have been several edits of people vandalizing this page. The portrait is now missing! Is there anything we can do about this? Perhaps put a lock on it? -- Lady Meg ( talk) 20:29, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
Agree it should be locked Meemsworldwide ( talk) 23:50, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Catherine Parr's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

hello you du not know me I am a 13 year old girl and I have a question who posted Catherine Parr's page if you are wondering why it is for a research report
Did Catherine Parr live in Horton Northamptonshire? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.144.238 ( talk) 16:43, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
There are two sections where it says she was in trouble for being a protestant. Wasn't Henry VIII the number one protestant ? So how was she in trouble for that ? Some clarification of that would be helpful. Lathamibird ( talk) 05:45, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
Henry VIII wasn't Protestant and considered Protestants heretics. The Church of England he set up became Protestant during his son and daughter's reigns, but that was not his intention. His church was not far from 'Catholicism without the Pope'. Boleyn ( talk) 06:25, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Catherine was considered 'Queen' after the death of King Henry and that was to hold until Edward married and then she would have been Queen Dowager. That was part of Henry's will. She was titled 'Queen Catherine' after he died. She was technically Queen Dowager but was allowed to be called 'Queen'. That is my explanation that should be included in her bio somewhere. Also, her jewels and that of the Queen's jewels were locked in the Tower for safe keeping and she never saw them again due to The Lord Protector and his wife. True that Henry said she could keep and wear the Queen's jewels, but she never saw them again after they were locked away. -- Lady Meg ( talk) 20:46, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
I would also like to add that someone changed her death date to the 7th of September. Her death date is the 5th of September. I see that since I have not been paying attention to this article, A LOT of things have been taken out or changed and not for the better. -- Lady Meg ( talk) 22:53, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
PLEASE stop changing her death date or putting that it's another date all together. If you're not familiar with Kateryn Parr or this time period, I would appreciate it if you would stick to other pages and leave these for people who are educated and have dedicated decades of their life to researching Kateryn. Pretty sure that Alison Weir has her death date correct in her Six Wives book and if she doesn't, I don't know where she's getting her information. She's not even a specialist when it comes to Kateryn. Also Encyclopedia Brittanica can be changed by people who have no specialization in areas like Kateryn. Please stop changing the date. Thank you.
Sources for 5th September 1548 are as follows:
There are a LOT more that I can list that have the correct date, so please stop messing with the date. - Lady Meg ( talk) 22:48, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Was just wondering what’s going on with the ancestry trees? They seem to have been taken out not just for Catherine, but the other queens. Is wiki just not doing them anymore? A lot of us worked hard on it. Just disappointing. — Lady Meg ( talk) 21:57, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
Is there a reason “Kateryn” isn’t featured as the alternative spelling? That’s how she signed her name. Is that not a good enough source? When and why did we settle on “Catherine” again? Lady Meg ( talk) 11:19, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
The first paragraph states Henry died on January 28, 1547.The info under her picture says she died January 28, 1547. The first paragraph says she lived over a year after his death. 2603:6010:BE00:498C:ED29:6893:312A:8450 ( talk) 00:05, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
I noticed this must have happened a few years ago now. I had uploaded my own photo of the tomb. Then it was taken out for this small photo from the back of the tomb? Surely people want to see the whole tomb. How is this photo now in the article better than the photo I took? Kind of astonished by the constant editing and deletions and whenever I edit I’m like stalked and people undo my edits. Even here on Cat Parr of whom I’ve been studying since 2007.
