A rose without a thorn

In 1540 Henry VIII was forty-nine and unhappy. Although in his youth he had been a handsome, athletic, and charismatic man, he could now hardly walk because of painful abscesses on his leg. He was grotesquely fat (135cm around the waist) and his mood alternated between depression and moments of terrible anger. He was also bitterly regretting his marriage to his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, whom he found totally unattractive.

His only consolation was the company of a young girl called Katherine Howard, with whom he was fast falling in love. A cousin of Henry’s second wife Anne Boleyn, Katherine was a pretty, vivacious and graceful girl and the King was captivated by her. He called her his ‘jewel’, his ‘rose without a thorn’. In spite of his physical problems, Henry could still be charming when he wanted to be. Katherine was about fifteen and she was ambitious, naive and empty-headed, mainly interested in clothes and dancing.

On 28th July, after managing to get rid of Queen Anne (by divorcing her), Henry married Katherine in secret. Henry had never been happier. Katherine appeared to love every moment of her new life with her infatuated husband, who was far more generous than he had been with his previous wives, buying her diamonds, pearls, and furs with rubies.

But the ‘honeymoon’ period lasted only until the following summer, when she came face to face with someone from the past. Francis Dereham, who had been her lover when she was 13 or 14, came to court and asked Katherine for work. Perhaps in order to buy his silence she employed him as her secretary. This was a fatal mistake. In September, while the King was away, a man came to see Archbishop Cranmer, the King’s adviser, saying that he knew ‘things’ about the Queen’s past and suggesting that she had had several sexual partners before she married the King.

While King Henry was in church, Cranmer left a letter for him to read, in which he accused Katherine of immoral behaviour. The King was devastated and didn’t believe, but told Cranmer to arrest Katherine. But Katherine had been having secret meetings with a boy called Thomas Culpeper.

Dereham and Culpeper were both tortured and executed. On 13th February 1542. Katherine was beheaded. She was buried next to Anne Boleyn in the Tower of London.
