Katherine Howard
Electronic book text
The Tragic Story of Henry VIII's Fifth Queen
'An impressive revisionist biography' The Times
'Meticulous... Thought-provoking' Daily Telegraph The gripping story of the tragic love and royal politics. Katherine Howard, fifth wife of Henry VIII, was famously beheaded in 1542 for crimes of adultery and treason in one of the most sensational scandals of the Tudor age. However, the true story of Katherine Howard could not be more different. The truth is one of child abuse, family ambition, religious conflict and political and sexual intrigue. It is also a tragic love story. A bright, kind and intelligent young woman, Katherine was fond of clothes and dancing, yet she also had a strong sense of a wife's duty. As Josephine Wilkinson's groundbreaking biography shows, Katherine was little more than a child in a man's world, and the tragic victim of inescapable powers.Buy now!
