Katharina: Fortitude by Margaret Skea

10 October 2019 By Editor

Buy Katharina: Fortitude by Margaret Skea

Wittenberg 1525.

The unexpected marriage of Martin Luther to Katharina von Bora has no fairytale ending.

A sign of apostasy to their enemies, and a source of consternation to their friends, it sends shock waves throughout Europe.

Yet, as they face persecution, poverty, war, plague and family tragedy, Katharina’s resilience and strength of character shines through.

Katharina: Fortitude by Margaret Skea is published on 6 October, 2019.
