SHORTLISTED FOR THE SLIGHTLY FOXED BEST FIRST BIOGRAPHY PRIZE 2017 Born into nobility and married into the royal family, Catherine Howard was attended every waking hour – secrets were impossible to keep. In this thrilling reappraisal of Henry VIII’s fifth wife, Gareth Russell’s history unfurls as if in real time to explain how the queen’s career ended with one of the great scandals of Henry’s reign. This is a grand tale of the Henrician court in its twilight, a glittering but pernicious sunset during which the king’s unstable behaviour and his courtiers’ labyrinthine deceptions proved fatal to many, not just to Catherine Howard.

A really in depth examination of an often overlooked Queen. It grounds her in her context and makes her more real that I had anticipated.

Bra och grundlig bok om en kortvarig drottning, intressant när man får höra texter i original som med katherines bekännelse, mycket olika folk att hålla reda på runt omkring men bara slappna av så börjar man känna igen de viktigaste efter ett tag👍

Bra överblick över Henrik VIII’s tid. Håller dock inte med om alla slutsatser som dras.
