Dr Kat and Katherine Howard

Due to a battery mix up, this video was filmed using my old mic - so it's come out a little more "tinny" than I would like - but this was a much-requested topic so I hope you will still enjoy. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding

This video looks a the life and fall of Catherine Howard, the fifth wife and queen of King Henry VIII. What might we be able to uncover regarding the events that brought her life to its tragic and early end?

I hope you enjoy this video and find it interesting!
