Queen Katheryn Howard, birth year unknown but died in 1542 after just two years of being Queen of England and married to a tyrant. Some speculate she was as young as 15 when she was Queen of England. Some say 17 or 19. Some say she was killed by beheading at just 17. Or 19. Or even 21. Whatever her age at these times, the fact remains. She was just a little girl. She was used and abused. Used by her uncle and father to regain power. Abused by three men. Henry Mannox, her 23 year old music teacher. Francis Dereham, her 25 year old cousin on her step grandmother's side of the family. Thomas Culpepper, her 26 year old cousin through her mother Joyce Culpepper. Katheryn Howard was a Catholic. The only thing she had in common with her stepdaughter the Lady Mary Tudor who was at least 5 years her senior. She got on well with her seven year old stepdaughter the Lady Elizabeth Tudor. Katheryn reminded Elizabeth of her own mother, Anne Boleyn. She gets on well with her stepson the five year old Prince Edward too.
