Katheryn, The Wanton Queen

Destined to meet a tragic endâ€¦

Born into a noble but dysfunctional family, Lady Katheryn Howardâ€™s childhood is left largely in the care of her grandmother.

Unfortunately, her grandmother is more impressed by the glitter of the English Court than she is concerned for the well-being of her grandchild.

With her grandmother away much of the time, Katheryn is left vulnerable.

While many in the household care for her, not all have her best interests at heart, and as Katheryn grows into a beautiful young woman, the lack of a guiding hand begins to show.

Then, of course, there are the men.

Henry Manox, the musician who seeks to initiate her into the ways of love.

Francis Derham, the dashing courtier of uncertain background.

Thomas Culpepper, her kinsman, who adores her.

And of course, there is King Henry VIII, whom she marries.

Yet when Katheryn Howard becomes Queen of England, her future and her fate are far from settled.

Indeed, the gossip and intrigue that surround her â€” and the constant whispers about her past â€” become more and more acute.

She draws potential gossipers into her circle to silence them.

But the whispers and the tales will not be stopped.

When the gossip surrounding Katheryn is taken to the ears of King Henry VIII, the wheels of political revenge inevitably begin to turn.

Despite his avowed love for the Queen, Henry knows that he has no choice but to act decisively.

And thus the young, beautiful Queen must step forward and face her tragic fate.

Katheryn, The Wanton Queen is the heartfelt tale of Henry VIIIâ€™s fifth wife.
