The REAL Cause Of Death Of Catherine Howard

The real cause of death of Catherine Howard

The obvious answer to the question, what killed Catherine Howard is that she lost her head in a meeting with the executioners axe. But putting the obvious aside, how would a young teenage woman end up losing her head at the behest of the king?

What is sad is that whilst Catherine was imprisoned a new law was passed. A law that made it treason for a queen consort not to disclose her sexual history to the king within the first twenty days of marriage, swell as to commit adultery against her royal husband. This law was called the royal assent by commission act 1541. This act meant there was no need for a trail and the evidence was stacked against the helpless Catherine Howard who was then sentenced to death.

A sad matter of fact is that Henry did not show Catherine the same mercy he did with his second wife. For Anne Boleyn had spent the last few days of her life with a small amount of comfort. But Catherine suffered I ways that even today bring a tear to the eyes of those investigating her life.

Join us today as we delve into Catherines life and try to piece together the reasons Catherine’s life was ended so abruptly at the behest of her husband, and discover how Catherine was used by the men around her and then faced the wrath of the king for finding comfort in another.

Poor girl. She was used by just about every person in her short life.

[kasie]

Her step grandmother killed her by not protecting her!

[Valicroix]

Henry could, and should, have banished her to someplace. Executing her was a cowardly deed.

[juicer]

This is so heartbreaking. Poor Catherine. You told her story with great eloquence and compassion.

[tammydreamwriter]

Henry was jealous and couldn’t stand the idea that she wanted a man closer to her own age in her bed.

[ambreeniram]

Where was her father? Henry Manox deserved punishment for abusing a minor girl. As for Henry Viii, he should have married some mature woman his age. Marrying a child and then beheading her for acting irresponsibly as a queen of a nation is horrific.

Catherine never said that thing about being the wife of Culpepper. Check your sources.

[dshe]

Henry's advisors must have known her background. I think they used her to manipulate the king.

The portrait depicting Katherine in the high collared dress is actually Elizabeth Cromwell, nee Seymour. Sister of Jane Seymour. And she is wearing widow's dress as she is in mourning for her first husband; she went on to marry Gregory Cromwell, the son of Thomas Cromwell, Henry Viii's
chief minister. This portrait was misidentified a long time ago but more recently most historians have correctly identified it as Elizabeth.

That one picture of her she reminds me so much if scarlet Johansson. That’s why she’s great in Boleyn girl and girl with pearl earring.she has that look of royalty in the Tudor era. Imo

[love_mandyxo]

Henry had no heart if he was willing to kill a teenager literally for being a normal freaking teenager 😑

[Justificus]

What is difficult to understand, this is the second event of infidelity by a queen. After Anne's fall and execution, history repeats itself, and Katherine commits the same fatal errors.
It was one thing for a naive Katherine, but Culpepper had already lived through the catastrophe of Anne's death, and had full knowledge of the fate of the accused men in the affair.
More than this, it makes no sense whatsoever, that Culpepper would risk losing his life over desiring and physically taking Henry's queen and wife.
That would be tantamount to insanely pursuing a suicidal death for yourself and your lover, Katherine.
There are key components to this story that are still missing.
After Anne, why was Katherine not watched like a hawk by all of her ladies in waiting, and fearful for the smallest of infractions to be also blamed upon them?
Entire families could have been decimated for lack of diligence on their part to protect Henry's dignity.
Why drag this out into the court of public opinion? Why not dispose of the main guilty actors by "coincidental" accident and disease? No need for a trial or embarrassment a second time.
Why would Henry allow himself to be portrayed as the impotent and cuckold husband subjected to ridicule once again?
There are more agendas and agents below the surface of this narrative than we have yet to know.

While I a well aware that these events happened during very different times, I can never understand how anyone can hate someone to the extent that they plan and facilitate their death. Catherine's uncle is too powerful, better exploit infidelity rumours so that she is disgraced and murdered by the heartless monster....Anne Boleyne: likewise....
I've disliked co- workers in my lifetime...I have never even tried to get them fired !! Can anyone say that they really wish that someone they know was DEAD ?! Yikes!!

[aquastar]

LOL under her picture it says henry was ... "ill and fat"🤪😂 idk why thats cracking me up

[suziemartin]

Proof that Henry was a cruel pig spoiled to the inth degree

[jamesmilton]

A victim of noble greed and power, she was promoted to Henry by Norfolk, just as Lady Jane Grey was used by Northumberland after Henry and Edward VI were passed on.

[kasie]

It always makes me wonder why Henry would openly just keep getting rid of wives, I have always felt that Henry wasn’t making these decisions, he relied heavily on advisors so in a way, they had more power, Henry was the head, but they were the neck and they turn the head anyway they want! Just like the pope is the “Head” of the church but the Vatican is the neck! If the pope or Henry were truly the “Head” why weren’t they advising everyone else around them? Instead of vise versa 🤷🏼‍♀️

[simplelifelost]

Well, I’m saying a prayer that Queen Katherine is in Heaven.

[kathycortez]

Henry. Should have been put in jail he was a child molester. He was a old man married to a child I don’t believe he is in heaven

[kasie]

Can anyone else see the similarities between Henry VIII, Edward and Elizabeth in paintings? I wonder if they were very alike in real life or if the paintings were done by the same person and it’s just the way they painted eyes and lips?? 🤷🏼‍♀️
