Katherine Howard and Catherine Parr

When she was just 18 years old, Henry became besotted with Katherine Howard's stunning beauty and unbridled sexuality. Unfortunately for his queen, she found it hard to make do with only Henry's loving which left the King with only one option — to cut off her head. Catherine Parr, possibly the most intelligent and humane of Henry's wives, outlived Henry by a year and eight months. With four husbands, she is the most-wed English queen. She's the first woman in England to publish in print an original work under her own name in the English language.
