Maybe the author was daydreaming of Mr. Mortenson?

I'm reading a really engrossing 800 page novel, but I was jarred right out of the story into fits of unintended laughter when a character referred to "Catherine of Aragorn" while chastising another character.
(It should have been "Catherine of Aragon.")

(Aragorn is a great guy, especially as played by Viggo Mortensen *drool* in the recent film adaptations of The Lord of the Rings, but...)
Actually, Catherine of Aragon was a nasty piece of work in her own right.CoraBuhlert said:Well, poor Catherine likely would have been better off with Aragorn than with Henry VIII.
Regarding embarrassing LOTR related typos, back when the Fellowship of the Ring came out, I was supposed to write an e-mail to a Romanian business partner at my day job. I've forgotten what the real name of the addressee of that e-mail was, but I addressed the woman as Mrs. Boromir and only noticed my mistake after I had already sent the e-mail. No idea what the lady in question made of my replacing her name with that of a LOTR character. I kind of hope she was a Tolkien fan and thus got a kick out of me marrying her off to a character played by Sean Bean.
Well, I didn't say that Aragorn would have been better off with Catherine than with Arwen.JRTomlin said:Actually, Catherine of Aragon was a nasty piece of work in her own right.
Heh! What a funny story. I hope she was a fan, too! I guess it's a good sign, that you didn't hear about it later.CoraBuhlert said:Well, poor Catherine likely would have been better off with Aragorn than with Henry VIII.

There are worse characters you could have married her to. You didn't refer to her as Mrs. Gollum.CoraBuhlert said:Well, poor Catherine likely would have been better off with Aragorn than with Henry VIII.
