Young and Damned and Fair: The Life and Tragedy of Catherine Howard at the Court of Henry VIII

SHORTLISTED FOR THE SLIGHTLY FOXED BEST FIRST BIOGRAPHY PRIZE 2017 Born into nobility and married into the royal family, Catherine Howard was attended every waking hour – secrets were impossible to keep. In this thrilling reappraisal of Henry VIII’s fifth wife, Gareth Russell’s history unfurls as if in real time to explain how the queen’s career ended with one of the great scandals of Henry’s reign. This is a grand tale of the Henrician court in its twilight, a glittering but pernicious sunset during which the king’s unstable behaviour and his courtiers’ labyrinthine deceptions proved fatal to many, not just to Catherine Howard.

InformativSpændende.Det lykkes dog ikke rigtig forfatteren, at give en fornemmelse af hvem og hvordan Cathrine var. Indimellem er der nogle lidt lange udredninger om noget, som ikke synes at have relevans i forhold til emnet, F.eks. Hvem der er og ikke er malerier af.
