Katherine Tudor (2 February 1503) was the eighth and last child of King Henry VII of England and Elizabeth of York. She was born and died on the same day.
Elizabeth of York never recovered from Katherine's death. Still grieving for her eldest son Arthur, who had passed away shortly before she became pregnant, Elizabeth died of a post-pregnancy infection on 11 February 1503, her thirty-seventh birthday.
Katherine's older siblings included Arthur, Margaret, the future Henry VIII, Elizabeth, Mary, and Edmund, Duke of Somerset.
