[HIGHLIGHTS] Catherine Parr, Henry VIII's sixth wife: Why was she saved from beheading?

Catherine Parr (1512-1548) was lucky to be the last of Henry VIII's six wives. The story came to paint her little less than the nurse of the king.

A film, Firebrand, inspired by the novel The Queen's Play, by Elizabeth Fremantle, now claims its primary role. Alicia Vikander brings Catherine Parr to life with a feminist twist and Jude Law plays the decrepit stinking king with his open wound. "She's probably the least known wife of the six," Vikander acknowledged as he passed through Cannes Film Festival.
