This is not historically accurate. It’s based hugely on inferences and speculation.

I do not think so, she is my ancestor and this is not the story, she was pimped off by my male relatives to remain in the in the monarchy. this is still my Howard family still has this demeanor. I do not think a girl that did not have her mother and father around will be disparately seeking love.

Yes, there is so much to be said in her defence.

Have you read any of the primary sources?

Her confession is not reliable - it was in contemplation of her possible execution. She contradicts herself in the two confessions.

So Katharine Howard's ladies in waiting settled for her sloppy second leftovers? Even if Ms. Howard was very young, it was awfully stupid of her to mess around on King Henry VIII knowing his history of discarding and chopping off the heads of his wives.

He had only executed one wife at that point and that was for the failure to provide a male child.

clare5 one Henry couldn’t just divorce her, that was problematic, and might suggest blame on his part. She had to be singled out as the problem.

clare5 one Of course not. That would draw attention to him, and perhaps people might think less of him. Anne Boleyn had to be removed and the efficient way to do that was to frame her. Plus the conservative elements at court were pleased to help given they opposed her reformatory views.
