The Annals of Worcester record the birth “nocte Ceciliæ” in 1253 of “regina…filiam…Katerina”[722]. Matthew Paris records that “regina Angliæ Alienora” gave birth “Londoniis...die sanctæ Katerinæ” to “filiam...Katerina”, dated to 1253 from the context[723]. Flores Historiarum record that “Alianora regina Angliæ” gave birth “Londoniis die sanctæ Katerinæ” to “filiam...Katerina”, dated to 1253 from the context[724]. "Alexander le Parker and Amice his wife" were granted "land in Old Wyndesor" in "reward of the good service rendered by the said Amice in the education of Katharine the king´s daughter" dated 11 Apr 1255[725]. Matthew Paris records the death “circa Inventionem sanctæ Crucis” of “filia domini regis Katerina”, adding that she was "muta et inutilis, sed facie pulcherrima", dated to 1257 from the context[726]. One manuscript of Flores Historiarum records, inserted over an erasure, the death 12 Apr of “domina Katerina quasi octennis filia regis Henrici tertii” and her burial “apud Westmonasterium cum fratribus suis”, dated to 1261 from the context[727]. The contradiction between these two reports of the date of death of Katherine is difficult to understand. Matthew Paris´s chronicle ends with his death in 1259, which indicates that his report of Katherine´s death in 1257 could not have represented a misdating for 1261. However, the age of the deceased in the 1261 report (“quasi octennis”) is consistent with Katherine´s reported birth in 1253, which suggests that it is unlikely to refer to another otherwise unrecorded daughter whom it had misnamed. sh: Katerine; 25 November 1253 - 3 May 1257) was the fifth child of Henry III and his wife, Eleanor of Provence. She was born either a deaf-mute or just deaf and mentally challenged[1] and was very sickly. She possibly had a degenerative disease. She did not survive her fourth year and died at Windsor. scribed as the most beautiful of all Henry's daughters,[2] even though it was obvious something was wrong with her. Matthew Paris described her as "the most beautiful girl, but dumb and useless",[2] although this did not matter to her parents. They adored her for her beauty and delicacy.[1] She was christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Boniface of Savoy, Katherine's maternal granduncle, who also stood as her godfather.[1] She received the name Katherine because she was born on the feast of Saint Catherine of Alexandria.[1] A few days after her christening, on the day of Saint Edward the Confessor's death, 5 January 1254, the King held a massive banquet,[1] to which he invited all the nobility, including Emma le Despencer and her son, John.[1] The provisions for this banquet included "fourteen wild boars, twenty-four swans, one hundred and thirty-five rabbits, two hundred and fifty partridges, fifty hares, two hundred and fifty wild ducks, sixteen hundred and fifty fowls, thirty-six female geese and sixty-one thousand eggs".[1]In any case, this ruined their parents' hopes of marriage for her and she was never betrothed to anyone. Soon after the banquet, the Queen had to leave England and join her husband in Gascony, leaving the infant Katherine at Windsor Castle.[1] The aforementioned Emma le Despencer was appointed governess[1][3] and her aides were two wet nurses, Agnes and Avisa.[1] The next year, the King and Queen returned and the King ordered "gold clothes, with borders embroidered with the King's coat-of-arms", on 2 May 1255[1] for Katherine. ly ill and was sent to Emma le Despencer's house in Swallowfield.[1][3] She had a few companions of her own age[1][3] and, for her own amusement, the King sent one of his men into Windsor Great Park to capture a goat, for his daughter to play with.[1][3] The change seemed to benefit the sickly little princess and she was not brought back,[1] but she had a relapse in late 1256. During this time, three of Katherine's brothers died within a week due to a smallpox outbreak.[1] By the King's command, a report of her condition was sent to him by a special messenger during his expedition to France and when he heard of her convalescence he ordered that a "silver image made after the likeness of a woman" should be placed in Westminster Abbey as a votive offering, and the bearer of the news was given "a good robe".[1] Katherine died on 3 May 1257, after she was urgently brought back to Windsor Castle. 0 of our money. There was a magnificent funeral, which cost £51-12s-4d. Katherine was buried in the ambulatory in Westminster Abbey, in the space between the chapels of King Edward and St. Benet, close to the tomb of her uncle William de Valence. A splendid monument was raised to her memory by the King, rich with serpentine and mosaics, and surmounted by a silver image of his child, made by the King's goldsmith at the cost of 70 marks (£46-13s-4d).[4] The Hermit of Charing was paid fifty shillings a year as long as he lived, that he might support a chaplain to pray daily at the Chapel of the Hermitage for the soul of Katherine.[1]ny further children and went on to lose their youngest child Henry later that year.
