Marie Antoinette

US$325 including shipping, handling & insurance
Marie Antoinette (2 November 1755 – 16 October 1793) was the last queen of France before the French Revolution. She was born an archduchess of Austria and was the penultimate child and youngest daughter of Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor Francis I. She became dauphine of France in May 1770 at age 14 upon her marriage to Louis-Auguste, heir to the French throne. On 10 May 1774, her husband ascended the throne as Louis XVI and she became queen.
She became increasingly unpopular unfairly accused of being profligate, promiscuous and harboring sympathies for her native Austria—and her children of being illegitimate.
On 10 August 1792, the attack on the Tuileries forced the royal family to take refuge at the Assembly, and they were imprisoned in the Temple Prison. After the monarchy was abolished, Louis XVI was executed by guillotine on 21 January 1793. Marie Antoinette was then put on trial and convicted of high treason and executed, also by guillotine, on the Place de la Révolution.

Jane Seymour

US$325 including shipping, handling & insurance
Jane Seymour (c. 1508–1537) was Queen of England from 1536 to 1537 as the third wife of King Henry VIII. She succeeded Anne Boleyn as queen consort following the latter's execution in May 1536. She died of postnatal complications less than two weeks after the birth of her only child, a son who became King Edward VI. She was the only wife of the King to receive a queen's funeral, and his only consort to be buried beside him in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. She was highly praised for her gentle, peaceful nature, being called as "gentle a lady as ever I knew" by John Russell and "the Pacific" by the Imperial Ambassador Eustace Chapuys for her peacemaking efforts at court. According to Chapuys, she was of middling stature and very pale; he also said that she was not of much beauty, but Russell said she was "the fairest of all the King's wives." Polydore Vergil commented that she was "a woman of the utmost charm in both character and appearance." She was regarded as meek, gentle, simple, and chaste, with her large family making her suitable to have many children.

Mary, Queen of Scots

USD$325 including shipping, handling & insurance
Mary, Queen of Scots (8 December 1542 – 8 February 1587) spent most of her childhood in France while Scotland was ruled by regents and in 1558, she married the Dauphin of France, Francis. He died in 1560 and she returned to Scotland. Four years later she married her half-cousin, Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley. In June 1566 they had a son, James. After Darnley's murder in 1567, she married James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell, who was implicated in Darnley's death which caused the nobles to rise against them. Mary was imprisoned in Loch Leven Castle and forced to abdicate in favour of her one-year-old son, James VI of Scotland and later James I of England. After an unsuccessful attempt to regain the throne, she fled to England. With a stronger claim to the English throne than Elizabeth, Mary was instead imprisoned and after eighteen years in harsh captivity, was beheaded on trumped up charges at Fotheringhay Castle..

Henry VIII

US$1,075 including shipping, handling & insurance
Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was King of England from 1509 until his death in 1547. He is best known for his six marriages. Seeking a male heir, he broke with the Catholic faith and appointed himself Supreme Head of the Church of England in order to divorce Catharine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn. He went on to dissolve convents and monasteries, for which he was excommunicated, to seize their income for himself.
He has been described as "one of the most charismatic rulers to sit on the English throne" and his reign has been described as the "most important" in English history but as he aged, he became severely overweight, his health suffered and he became feared as a lustful, egotistical, paranoid and tyrannical monarch.

Catherine of Aragon

USD$325 including shipping, handling & insurance
Catherine of Aragon (16 December 1485 – 7 January 1536) was Queen of England from June 1509 until May 1533 as the first wife of King Henry VIII; she was previously Princess of Wales as the wife of Henry's elder brother, Arthur.
The daughter of Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon, Catherine was three years old when she was betrothed to Arthur, Prince of Wales, heir apparent to the English throne. They married in 1501, but Arthur died five months later. She subsequently married Arthur's younger brother, Henry VIII, in 1509.
By 1525, Henry VIII was infatuated with Anne Boleyn and in 1533 their marriage was declared invalid and Henry married Anne on the judgement of clergy in England, without reference to the Pope. Catherine refused to accept Henry as Supreme Head of the Church in England and considered herself the King's rightful wife and queen, attracting much popular sympathy. After being banished from court by Henry, she lived out the remainder of her life at Kimbolton Castle.

Anne Boleyn

USD$325 including shipping, handling & insurance
Anne Boleyn (c. 1501 – 19 May 1536) was Queen of England from 1533 to 1536 as the second wife of King Henry VIII. Anne was the daughter of Thomas Boleyn, 1st Earl of Wiltshire, and his wife, Lady Elizabeth Howard. After Henry VIII had his marriage to Catherine of Aragaon declared invalid, he married Anne secretly on 14 November 1532. On 23 May 1533, the newly appointed Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer declared Henry and Catherine's marriage null and void; five days later, he declared Henry and Anne's marriage valid. On 7 September, she gave birth to the future Queen Elizabeth I and subsequently had three miscarriages. By March 1536 Henry was courting Jane Seymour. In order to marry Seymour, Henry had to find reasons to end the marriage to Anne.
Henry VIII had Anne investigated for high treason in April 1536. She was convicted on 15 May and beheaded four days later. Modern historians view the charges against her, which included incest, and plotting to kill the king, as unconvincing.

Anne of Cleves

USD$375 including shipping, handling & insurance
Anne of Cleves (1515 – 16 July 1557) was queen consort of England from 6 January to 9 July 1540 as the fourth wife of King Henry VIII. In March 1539, negotiations for Anne's marriage to Henry began, as Henry believed that he needed to form a political alliance with her brother, William, who was a leader of the Protestants of western Germany, to strengthen his position against potential attacks from Catholic France and the Holy Roman Empire.
Anne arrived in England on 27 December 1539 and married Henry on 6 January 1540, but after six months, the marriage was declared unconsummated and, as a result, she was not crowned queen consort. Following the annulment, Henry gave her a generous settlement, and she was thereafter known as the King's Beloved Sister. She lived to see the coronation of Queen Mary I, outliving Henry and the rest of his wives.

Katherine Howard

USD$325 including shipping, handling & insurance
Katherine Howard (c. 1523 – 13 February 1542) was queen consort of England from 1540 until 1541 as the fifth wife of Henry VIII. She was the daughter of Lord Edmund Howard and Joyce Culpeper, cousin to Anne Boleyn (the second wife of Henry VIII), and niece to Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk. Thomas Howard was a prominent politician at Henry's court, and he secured her a place in the household of Henry's fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, where she caught the King's interest. She married him on 28 July 1540 at Oatlands Palace in Surrey, just 19 days after the annulment of his marriage to Anne. He was 49, and she was still a teenager, at about 17 years old.

Katherine was stripped of her title as queen in November 1541. She was beheaded three months later on the grounds of treason for committing adultery with her distant cousin Thomas Culpeper.

Katherine Parr

USD$325 including shipping, handling & insurance
Katherine Parr (1512 – 5 September 1548), was the last of the six wives of King Henry VIII. She married him on 12 July 1543, and outlived him by a year and eight months. With four husbands, she is the most-married English queen.
She enjoyed a close relationship with Henry's three children and was personally involved in the education of Elizabeth I and Edward VI. She was influential in Henry's passing of the Third Succession Act in 1543 that restored both his daughters, Mary and Elizabeth, to the line of succession to the throne.
On account of her Protestant sympathies, she provoked the enmity of anti-Protestant officials, who sought to turn the King against her; a warrant for her arrest was drawn up in 1545. However, she and the King soon reconciled. About six months after Henry's death, she married her fourth and final husband, Thomas Seymour, 1st Baron Seymour of Sudeley.
