Jan 1, 2018 at 11:28am   Elizabeth Tudor has always been on the back-burner for me. While I love the fact that she is the daughter of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn I’ve never been as interested in her reign as I have been for her father’s. In this week's episode we continue on with the life of Elizabeth Tudor.  Born in 1533, Elizabeth lived through the reign of her father, brother and sister to become Gloriana. In this series we work through important events in the life of Elizabeth to help me understand why so many of you love her so much.   Thank you to my current patrons - hear your special shout out in the show!

In this final part of the series I look into the interrogations of those around Katheryn Howard, her confessions, final words and execution. This series has truly been a labor of love. I never would have thought that I would enjoy learning so much about Katheryn Howard - she is not as boring as I had once believed.  -- Written by: Rebecca Larson Voiced by: Rebecca Larson Produced by: Rebecca Larson Music Credits:  Suonatore di Liuto Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

In the last podcast we ended with Katheryn Howard married and Thomas Cromwell was executed. If you missed it, I’d recommend going back and listening to that one first, it was called Katheryn Howard: Part One.  As a queen of England Katheryn is only remembered for being the fifth wife of Henry VIII, and was executed. If it hadn’t been for her scandalous downfall, and said execution, we would not have as much interest in Katheryn as we do today.   Here is the "transcript" so to speak for this podcast: http://www.tudorsdynasty.com/katheryn-howard-part-two/  -- Written by: Rebecca Larson Voiced by: Rebecca Larson Produced by: Rebecca Larson Music Credits:  Suonatore di Liuto Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/  -- Further Reading: Russell, Gareth; Young and Damned and Fair – The Life of Catherine Howard, Fifth Wife of Henry VIII (2016) Loades, David; The 6 Wives of Henry VIII (2014) Licence, Amy; The Six Wives and Many Mistresses of Henry VIII (2014) Fraser, Antonia; The Wives of Henry VIII  (1994) Weir, Alison; The Six Wives of Henry VIII (1991) Kizewski, Holly K.; Jewel of Womanhood: A Feminist Reinterpretation of Queen Katheryn Howard (Thesis 7/30/14 – University of Nebraska – Lincoln)

The story of Katheryn Howard intertwines with many other notable figures of the time but none more than Anne of Cleves and Thomas Cromwell. We’ll start with Katheryn’s childhood and attempt to chronologically move through time until her execution in 1542.    -- Further Reading: Russell, Gareth; Young and Damned and Fair – The Life of Catherine Howard, Fifth Wife of Henry VIII (2016) Loades, David; The 6 Wives of Henry VIII (2014) Licence, Amy; The Six Wives and Many Mistresses of Henry VIII (2014) Fraser, Antonia; The Wives of Henry VIII  (1994) Weir, Alison; The Six Wives of Henry VIII (1991) Kizewski, Holly K.; Jewel of Womanhood: A Feminist Reinterpretation of Queen Katheryn Howard (Thesis 7/30/14 – University of Nebraska – Lincoln) Hutchinson, Robert; Thomas Cromwell (2007)
