In this new full-length biography of Katherine Howard, Henry VIII's fifth wife, Conor Byrne reconsiders Katherine’s brief reign and the circumstances of her life, striping away the complex layers of myths and misconceptions to reveal a credible portrait of this tragic queen.

His more rounded view of the circumstances in which she found herself and the expectations of her society allows the historical Katherine to emerge.
