Queen Katherine and the Howards: A Tudor Family on the Brink of Disaster

Queen Katherine and the Howards: A Tudor Family on the Brink of Disaster - Marilyn Roberts

Queen Katherine and the Howards: A Tudor Family on the Brink of Disaster

Reevaluates Katherine Howard's life, exploring her family's role and her tragic demise through original research.

Writings of certain nineteenth and twentieth-century historians continue to colour our perceptions of the past, but is the picture of Katherine Howard painted by some of them necessarily fair? Was she really a neglected young girl set up by an unscrupulous family to enable them to exercise control over Henry VIII, or a secure teenager brought up in the home of her illustrious step-grandmother, the Dowager Duchess of Norfolk, who treated her well? Ultimately, was her untimely death the fault of others or the result of Katherine's own ill-advised choices?

Through original research and use of primary sources, Queen Katherine and the Howards: A Tudor Family on the Brink of Disaster examines the Howards' journey from practising law in East Anglia to their elevation to the dukedom of Norfolk by Richard III and, following the Yorkist defeat at Bosworth, their decades of service and loyalty to the fledgling Tudor dynasty.

The final weeks of Katherine Howard's short life, presented as a day-to-day narrative, enables the reader to appreciate how terrifyingly quickly the old duchess and Katherine's associates, most involved against their wishes, were rounded up and consigned to the Tower for concealing what they knew of her lively past.

The last chapters examine how the third Duke of Norfolk, Katherine's paternal uncle, although surviving the turmoil of the scandal and continuing in his roles as Lord Treasurer and Henry VIII's leading general, remained highly vulnerable; he and his son eventually fell victim to the king's deadly paranoia.
