Why Catherine Howard Lost Her Head
Was she entirely a victim of Henry VIII?
Poor Catherine Howard. She was smart, intelligent and undeniably beautiful, but ultimately no match for the vicious Henry VIII.
She was certainly a victim but was she totally blameless?
Joining Kate today is the always-fabulous historian Gareth Russell, author of Young and Damned and Fair: The Life of Catherine Howard, Fifth Wife of King Henry VIII, to help us find out more about this short-lived Queen of England.
