Ekaterina aragonskoy's entreaties will leave from the hammer

The letter to Ekaterina aragonskoy with the entreaty about the aid to preserve its marriage with the king Heinrich BY THE VIII will be advanced on auction Sotheby`.s, which will take place on 11 December in New York.

This letter - only part of the uncommon collection, where enter 31 objects. The name of collector, who wished to part with its treasures, is not called.

At the same auction is proposed to sale the document, written by Michelangelo buonarroti's hand, in whom the artist writes about some of important church commission in Rome. But also, according to the auctioneers, it will be possible to acquire document- autographs and things, which belonged to Beethoven, Chopin, Napoleon and Stalin.

Ekaterina, the first of six wives of king Heinrich OF THE VIII, it wrote to its nephew, to the emperor of the Roman Empire Charles V it requested him to use their influence in order to convince the Pope Klementa OF THE VII not to give to British monarch to cancel their marriage. Letter is dated on 8 February, 1534.

Clement OF THE VII heard the entreaties of queen and did not want to cancel bark, then Heinrich forewent BY THE VIII the Papal authority, but this, as we remember on the history, it led to the creation of Anglican Church.

Unique letter propalo out of sight since it was purchased for 38.000 dollars on one of the auctions of 1987. Now the starting price of document is 100.000 dollars, but auctioneers consider that they sell it still more expensive.
