I like to see history as a story of real people. Did you know Catherine of Aragon & Henry VIII were married 24 years and she had 6 pregnancies including 2 sons named Henry, Duke of Cornwall. They died within months. Miscarriages were not counted. And her only surviving daughter became Mary I.

Cleopatra had 4 children including twins. One became the Queen of Mauritania.

Marie Antoinette's daughter, Marie Therese, married the Duke of Angouleme.

Many people think there was no survivors from their parent's tragedies. I think it humanizes it.
