Описание к видео The DISTURBING Postmortem Of Henry VIII's Executed Fifth Wife

One of the most tragic young women of the Tudor Period was Henry VIII’s teenage fifth wife Catherine Howard. Many have considered the shocking age of the young victim of her husband, and Catherine was executed by axe inside the walls of the Tower of London. She was caught up in a shocking scandal which involved her allegedly cheating on the King with one of his closest friends. But after the axeman had taken her head clean off in one swing from his instrument of death, Catherine’s body was then taken inside of the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula within the Tower of London and she was then thrown into a rough grave and was allegedly covered in quicklime in an attempt to literally wipe her off the face off the earth, and to dissolve her remains in a quick manner as the King wanted to forget about his fifth wife. However Catherine’s fate was very shocking when compared to that of Henry’s second wife Anne Boleyn, who despite also being executed was allowed to be buried and was also executed by sword. But has the remains of Catherine Howard ever been found?
