Step-Mothers

Katherine of Aragon They never met,they had no kind of relationship, but since she is Henry's 1st wife and still alive when Elizabeth was born, we consider her Elizabeth's Stepmother. Anyway it is very hard to point how Katherine reacted when hearing about Elizabeth, probably she would never do any harm against the child, since she claimed to her ladies to pray for her enemies (Anne's) soul. Jane Seymour Jane,historically, never showed any favor towards Elizabeth,but never disliked her as well,maybe after all the Boleyn situation it would not be secure for Jane to show some favor towards her. As Queen she invited Elizabeth to be at Edward's christening. Anne of Cleves She was a very kind step-mother to all of Henry's children. She visited them often and was still friends with Elizabeth after Henry died. Kathryn Howard Kathryn referred to Elizabeth as "kinswoman", because Kathryn's connections to Anne Boleyn, they were cousins, which made Elizabeth her cousin too. Unfortunately for Elizabeth their relationship didn't blossom as her father put Kathryn to death by beheading (just like Elizabeth's mother) for having affairs. It is said when Elizabeth heard of Kathryn's death she swore never to marry. Kathryn's death had a huge impact on Elizabeth's future life. Catherine Parr Catherine Parr was a mother not only for Elizabeth but for Mary and Edward too.She gave love and affection to all Henry's children. After Henry died she took Elizabeth under her wing and invited Elizabeth to come and live with her, but after a while she sent her away because of the rumours that Elizabeth was having an "affair" with her husband Thomas Seymour. She was a huge influence for what Elizabeth would become as a queen and a woman as she taught Elizabeth her values.

Siblings

Mary Tudor & Edward Tudor Relationship with Mary: Mary and Elizabeth had 2 important differences 1.Their Religion 2.Their mothers, all the love and joy from childhood was faded away when Wyatt's rebellion came to the scene supporting Elizabeth, who made sure to be not involved in the revolt. Again the family was broken. Relationship with Both: The siblings had their good times,for a time they all lived together, Mary was a very loving sister and took care of her siblings, Edward often sent gifts to his sisters and wanted to know how they were. But after all the hunger for, and who had the power their relationships changed in a drastic way. Relationship with Edward: Edward was already away from Mary because their religious differences and was shocked about the "affair" between Elizabeth and his uncle,this made him changed the way he cared about his sisters. He still respected them but because of outside influences he didn't like the way they lived.
