Description

Conor Byrne's fascinating new biography of this much-maligned queen. Focusing on gender prejudices and distorted sources, it sheds a convincing picture of Katherine's life. Katherine Howard, fifth queen consort of Henry VIII, has traditionally been interpreted as a fun-loving teenager who spent her queenship partying and engaging in adultery with gentlemen of the king's household. This engaging new study of the queen's life puts forward an intriguing alternative perspective. Through paying close attention to sixteenth-century social values, gender norms, and cultural beliefs regarding honour and sexuality, a more rounded picture of Katherine emerges alongside an unsettling reinterpretation of her sexual relationships. Queen for scarcely more than fifteen months, Katherine's life nonetheless bears witness to a history of violence and hostility suffered by women for hundreds of years.
