Katheryn Howard: the Tainted Queen
An illustrated talk by local author Alison Weir Thursday 25 November 19:30 A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event Click/tap on the picture for a larger image Katheryn Howard’s story is one of the saddest and most shocking episodes in English history. Was she a promiscuous wanton, a capricious flirt or a needy young girl looking for love? Far from being an abused child, as many believe, she was a joyous young woman who drove her own destiny, but became caught up in a situation from which there was no disentanglement. Bookings are not yet available and will be taken nearer the time, once Covid advice offers some certainty as to how the talk will be delivered. Please look back for updated information. |
