Six Queens: Catherine Howard
I'd say that Catherine Howard is the most 'misunderstood' wife of Henry VIII. She certainly didn't have a clean childhood, but her infamous 'promiscuity' should not be blown out of proportion. She ruled alongside him for a mere two years (not enough time for a coronation) and her complicated past was damning before she even... Continue Reading →
