More on Catherine Howard
Description from Wikipedia:
Catherine Howard (c. 1521 – 13 February 1542), also spelled Katherine or Katheryn, was the fifth wife of Henry VIII of England, and sometimes known by his reference to her as his "rose without a thorn".
Catherine's birth date and place of birth are unknown (but occasionally cited as 1521 or 1524, possibly in Wingate, County Durham. She was the daughter of Lord Edmund Howard, a younger son of the 2nd Duke of Norfolk. This made her a first cousin of the King's second wife, Anne Boleyn. Catherine married Henry VIII on 28 July 1540, at Oatlands Palace in Surrey, almost immediately after the annulment of his marriage to Anne of Cleves was arranged. However, given Catherine's history and, eventually, her marital conduct known to be unchaste - she was beheaded after less than two years of marriage to Henry on the grounds of treason, meaning adultery committed while married to the King.
