At the age of 24, Catarina de Bragança (as it is in Portuguese), married a man she had never met and became the Queen consort of King Charles II, King of England. Catholic and cultured in a country which was Protestant and distinctly uncultured by mainland European standards, Catherine went on to suffer 23 years of unhappy marriage as King Charles took numerous lovers and even contributed to the anti-papist consiracy theories that sought to overthrow her. Professor Thomas Earle, King John II Professor of Portuguese Studies at the University of Oxford, here delivers a City of London Festival lecture at Gresham College on the political background to Catherine's marriage into the British monarchy. This is a part of 'Portugal and England, 1386-2010: A complex web of political, economic and intellectual relations'. The full lecture is available for free download (along with all of our other lectures) in its complete form from the Gresham College website, in video, audio or text formats Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website.\n
