Catherine Howard

Next in my six queens series we finally make it to wife number five Catherine Howard. Many remember Catherine as a frivolous pretty teenager who made the dumb mistake of cheating on Henry VIII but she was so much more then that. Catherine was a child thrust into a world of politics that she couldn’t begin to understand and she does not deserve the reputation she has.
