In today's Claire Chats, I look at an event from Henry VII's reign, the marriage of Catherine of Aragon and Arthur, Prince of Wales, and the pageantry involved in Catherine's procession through London on 12th November 1501.
My main source was London pageants: I - Accounts of fifty-five royal processions and entertainments in the city of London; chiefly extracted from contemporary writers; II - A Biographical List of Lord Mayors' Pageants which can be read online or downloaded free from Google Books - click here. You will find the procession I talk about starting on p. 26.
