..or portrayal rather.
I really thought Maria Doyle-Kennedy was excellent in The Tudors (and Anne Boleyn has always been my 'favorite' wife, so I was pleased to learn lots more about Katherine). I have recently purchased about all about Katherine of Aragon (by Alison Weir) actually.
I just wondered what other films or series feature her in a more accurate way?
I was just wondering if there is a more fully rounded aspect of her life i.e. not just when Henry was trying to divorce her to marry Anne

The Six Wives of Henry VIII
(1970). The first episode is seen entirely from her point of view, starting with her marriage to Prince Arthur.

If I'm remembering correctly, the sets are simple and it's more like a series of plays than a movie. Is that right? I thought it was well done and enjoyed it.

It's typical of television drama from that time. The sets are very simple, but the writing and acting still impress. It is pretty historically accurate (more so than any other dramatisation).
