Katheryn Howard page

I watched an animatic on 'all you wanna do' in YouTube. I found out it was from SIX- a musical about Henry VIII's wives. I did some more research and fell in love with the Tudor era. Hate for any of the wives isn't permitted

Before proceding to see my KH posts, please read this Dear fellow tudor fans and tudor historians ,

Just because you can't apply modern standards of wokeness to the tudors doesn't mean that

Sexual relations with minors and child marriage is okay

Irish attrocities that happened in Elizabeth's reign is okay

The black population being scapegoats for the widespread poverty and vagrancy and going to the point there was an attempt by Elizabeth to EXPEL them is okay

Genocide is okay

Slavery is okay

Anti-Semitism is okay

Sure, we shouldn't judge EVERYTHING by modern standards but the following acts mentioned here are way too immoral to give a free pass

You don't have to cancel Elizabeth and all the other Tudors but these facts must be acknowledged, not excused due to the time period these attrocities were set in or the situations that made people do this

It's fine to understand why they did it but you can't excuse them.

The whole point of history is to learn about the good AND the bad and both must be acknowledged. And please Trastamara fans, DON'T reblog this unless you acknowledge this YOURSELF

Love,

A Tudor fan from India🇮🇳

Anniversary of Queen Katherine Howard’s Execution, February 13, 1542.

Here's my playlist for Katheryn Howard's death anniversary

Rip Katheryn Howard (1523-1542)

[bforbetterthanyou]

I think people tend to acknowledge Katheryn Howard with pity and sometimes respect, while they treat Jane Boleyn like this snotty scandalous girl who had everything go right for her and pretended that she faked her breakdown? I think people treat her like just another lady in waiting, and not a complex individual who had to deal with her husband and sister in law gone in one fell swoop. Sorry this ask is so long!

Well yeah this is also a problem with the story of Anne Boleyn’s downfall too. People always want there to be a villain—someone they can point the finger at and be like “that person is the reason Anne/Katheryn died”—but instead of blaming the real culprits (Henry VIII, Cromwell, Culpepper, etc) they blame another woman because...reasons I guess? Honestly, I don’t know why other than just straight-up misogyny. There’s really no other reason for it because if people bothered to actually look at the primary sources instead of taking fiction as fact, they’d know that Jane didn’t do any of the things she’s been accused of.

Around seven o'clock on Monday, 13 February, several privy councilors arrived as escort. Her uncle Norfolk was not among them, having wisely withdrawn to his country estates. Catherine was weak and frightened and had to be helped up the steps to the scaffold. But once there, she made a small, quiet speech regarding her ‘worthy and just punishment’; she prayed for the king’s preservation and for God’s forgiveness.

The Tudors (2007–2010)

[tiny-librarian]

Finally, a man named Ottwell Johnson, who was employed by Sir John Gage, Comptroller to the royal household,wrote to his brother shortly after Katherine’s execution with nothing but praises for her.He does not doubt that Katherine was guilty, but her amendment of her “ungodly life” causes him to raise her as an example to others. The text of the letter is as follows:

And for news from hence, know ye, that, even according to my writing on Sunday last, I see the Queen and the lady Retcheford suffer within the Tower, the day following; whose souls (I doubt not) be with God, for they made the most godly and Christians’ end that ever was heard tell of (I think) since the world’s creation, uttering their lively faith in the blood of Christ only, with wonderful patience and constancy to the death, and, with goodly words and steadfast countenance, they desired all Christian people to take regard unto their worthy and just punishment with death, for their offences against God heinously from their youth upward, in breaking of all his commandments, and also against the King’s royal majesty very dangerously…

Rest in Peace Katherine Howard :: executed February 13, 1542

[thetudorslovers]

On 10 February 1542, Queen Catherine Howard, dressed in black velvet, was escorted from Syon to the Tower by water. The Lord Privy Seal accompanied her, as did members of the council, guards and servants.

Eustace Chapuys, the Imperial ambassador, described the scene,

‘The lord Privy Seal, with a number of Privy Councillors and servants went first in a great barge; then came the Queen with three or four men and as many ladies, in a small covered barge; then the Duke of Suffolk, in a great barge, with a company of his men.’

As Catherine passed under London Bridge, the severed and rotting heads of Thomas Culpeper and Francis Dereham provided a gruesome reminder of what was in store.Traitor’s Gate, Tower of London.

The Queen’s barge came to a stop at Traitor’s Gate and from here she was escorted to her prison chamber with the deference due to a queen. At this stage Catherine was unaware of when her execution would take place and so she no doubt spent sleepless nights awaiting this news.

Finally, on the evening of 12 February, Catherine Howard was told to ‘dispose of her soul and prepare for death’ (Baldwin-Smith, Pg. 188) – she was to die at nine o’clock the next morning.

According to Chapuys, Catherine requested that the block be brought to her so ‘that she might know how to place herself.’ Her request was granted and the block brought into her chamber. It’s difficult to not feel pity when imagining the young queen rehearsing her final tragic public appearance.
