Catherine of Braganza - Horrific Histories

Haven't posted a historical song for a while so here's one about the wife of King Charles II with a hint of Disney

Let's Go Fly A Kite Catherine of Braganza not by Disney
Was born in sixteen thirty eight
Second child of King John the Great
Her mother did decide
To whom she’d be a bride
And in sixteen six two
It's England she went to

Oh, oh, oh!
Catherine of Braganza
Thought that Charles did love her
Catherine of Braganza the Queen of England
Married a Stuart king
Who soon took off his wedding ring
Oh, Catherine of Braganza!

She wasn’t a popular queen
To be Catholic wasn’t seen
And then Titus Oates said
She wanted the king dead
But Charles didn’t agree
And made sure she stayed free

Oh, oh, oh!
Catherine of Braganza
Wed a merry ruler!
Catherine of Braganza the Queen of England
Tried to give Charles an heir
But didn’t succeed there
Catherine of Braganza!
