I'm listening to a new book about Queen Kathryn Howard and I can't help think how little we actually know of her. We know everything about the other queens, but poor Kathryn is oft described as an empty headed tramp with little to recommend her. Historical fiction writers seem to stick to that premise or they go too far the other way in making her some feminist icon. She probably falls somewhere in the middle.

I am a little obsessed with the , mainly and his and I've often wondered if should've given into Henry's request for an annulment for, if not her sake, for the sake of her daughter . Then part of me thinks no, she was right to fight until the end. I go back and forth.
